Caroline Hajny continues Michael Aldag's story from <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2022/10/24/michael-aldag-bleak-caroline-hajny/78906">the recent video for Bleak</a>, in this poignant promo for Okay.&nbsp;Picking up directly from the end of the first concept - which sees Aldag jump into a swimming pool fully dressed - we see the artist emerge with a new lease on life.&nbsp;Aldag runs&nbsp;through the city, drying off as he heads somewhere unknown, and the aesthetic becomes more vibrant and lively, cutting between the past and present videos to show the contrast.&nbsp;Completing the emotional arc of the story, and offering a brilliant rooftop performance at the end, it's a remarkable piece of work that stands on its own and as part of a whole.&nbsp;

Tayo’s world is flipped upside down when the lines of reality blur as he searches for someone special… but were they ever real?

Will Clark directs the second part of the Backhand double bill with indie-pop foursome Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard.&nbsp;Picking up where Clark's video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2022/01/27/buzzard-buzzard-buzzard-break-right-will-clark/74709">Break Right In</a>&nbsp;left off, we see the band's evil nemesis Mr Monadnock (played with admirable gusto by BBB's lead singer Tom Rees)&nbsp;dominated by an evil blue wig, which forces him to throw dance-shapes around the beautiful Breamore Estate.Building upon the narrative of the first video,&nbsp;it's quite a turn of events. And when the tenacious foursome decide to take back what's theirs, Monadnock seems strangely driven to chase it down.&nbsp;Bonkers, idiosyncratic fun, and a brilliant end to the double-feature.[imgtoken data:1]

Jack Thompson-Roylance directs a tender performance promo for Taloula.&nbsp;Choreographed by French icon Zack Reece, the video sees the artist joined by three dancers in a meditative studio space, as they work their way through a&nbsp;passionate, understated dance piece.&nbsp;Shot on 16mm film in a single take,&nbsp;the video has a painterly aesthetic which is elevated by the restrained, naturalistic&nbsp;colour palette. The gentle energy is achieved through delicate camera movements and a deliberate focus on the small details in the performance.&nbsp;"The making of the video was a beautifully collaborative process," says&nbsp;Jack Thompson-Roylance. "Taloula approached me with the concept of filming a dance choreography which she had developed with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/zack5938" target="_blank">infamous French choreographer Zack Reece</a>. We suggested shooting it on 16mm film and in one take to give the project a rich, honest aesthetic."We&nbsp;spent the entire shoot vigorously rehearsing the dancers, blocking and lighting queues before smashing out three consecutive takes at the end of the day, eventually landing on the second as our chosen one."It was such a beautiful atmosphere on set. There is something very magical about shooting a one take video on film, everybody is on their A-Game, creating an incredibly mindful atmosphere."

Will Clark and&nbsp;Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard continue their collaboration with Break Right In - the first half of a two-part project for tracks from the forthcoming debut album&nbsp;Bankhand Deals.&nbsp;In this video, the band land in a world where rhythm is criminal, so they set out to do something about it. Sneakily breaking into a grand estate, we see them assume disguises and switch wigs on the evil nemesis Mr Monadnock&nbsp;- who looks suspiciously like BBB's lead singer Tom Rees&nbsp;without hair -&nbsp;promising some kind of big&nbsp;payoff in the next chapter.&nbsp;Playful performances and tongue-in-cheek concepts are a trademark of Clark's work with the group, and this video takes the offbeat, fun vibes to new heights - and that's a lot to deliver, especially&nbsp;<a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2021/09/30/buzzard-buzzard-buzzard-you-will-clark/73093">when you've already turned the lead vocalist orange.&nbsp;</a>

Just like internet meme icon The Annoying Orange, his entire body is replaced by the fruit, with only eyes and a mouth to keep singing along.&nbsp;Interspersed with shots of a news crew interviewing the singer, and shots of the band hula-hooping the night away, it's a brilliant visual for a brilliant track.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

&#39;Karoshi&#39; -&nbsp;the term for&nbsp;&ldquo;death by overworking&rdquo; &ndash; has become a major epidemic in Japan, caused by the pressures and strain of&nbsp;living&nbsp;in a society of extreme overwork. And Boris Thompson-Roylance&#39;s video for LONO&#39;s Twerking on Mars depicts the physical and mental suffering of getting trapped in this vicious circle.With shaky camera movements, dark cold grades and striking blood red captions scrawled over the screen, the visuals were inspired by the photography of documentary filmmaker Allegra Pacheco, resulting in&nbsp;a crossbreed of documentary, music video and short film.
