Vasilisa Forbes continues her collaborative streak with Pale Waves, directing the theatrical promo for Clean.The video is set in a theatre, and explores the contrast between the intimate backstage world, (the inner-self) and ‘putting on a show’.Inspired by cabaret and Old Hollywood glamour, we see vocalist Heather backstage, draped in pearls and luxury styling, before appearing on stage with the band, playing to an empty room.&nbsp;Amplifying the dichotomy of reality and fiction, the video is peppered with surrealist moments - such as an homage to the iconic red rose sequence in American Beauty - and traverses the line between fantasy and the real world.&nbsp;

Vasilisa Forbes follows up her video for Pale Waves' <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2022/05/18/pale-waves-lies-vasilisa-forbes/76477" target="_blank">Lies</a> with a starkly monochromic performance piece for Jealousy.The high-contrast cinematography is inspired by the work of taboo-busting Irish photographer <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Carlos_Clarke#DVDs" target="_blank">Bob Carlos Clarke</a>, and gives the promo an editorial-meets-punk aesthetic.[imgtoken data:1]The minimalist art direction and expansive white cyc backdrops create a glossy, luxurious feel, which is perfectly balanced by the rougher textures and frenetic camerawork.&nbsp;"I wanted to take Pale Waves into a punk and minimal world," says Forbes.&nbsp;"Chains represent&nbsp;suppression and being held back by jealous thoughts and emotions - caging, carrying a weight, oppression and breaking bonds."

Vasilisa Forbes directs a stylish performance promo for UK rock outfit Pale Waves.Interweaving her fashion sensibilities with portraiture-style vignettes, Forbes uses lighting and art direction to visualise the compelling track.&nbsp;Shot in a studio, the video for Lies spans three contrasting setups which each&nbsp;offer a conceptual take&nbsp;on the lyrics.[imgtoken data:1]"(The track) spoke to me of heartbreak and frustration, yet with punchy empowerment," says Vasilisa Forbes.&nbsp;"I wanted to create a striking performance-focused video for Pale Waves with Heather at the forefront; in a lighting and colour driven studio environment."A blue diamond shape is repeated through a performance cube where we mirror ceiling and floor, and a diamond studio formation ‘inversion’. Shadows and mysterious lighting-tonality speak to me of ‘LIES’ - covering up, hiding, sinister details...thoughts taking place in the shadows."Playfully the heart motif is presented and repeated through the use of blood-red tones, and heart cut-out lighting frames."&nbsp;

Anuk Rohde directs a&nbsp;death-defying promo for iconic rockers Def Leppard.&nbsp;The video for Kick centres on&nbsp;a Wall Of Death carnival show, intercut between bikers' stunt driving and the group performing in the centre&nbsp;of the cylindrical structure.&nbsp;A cast of eccentric characters make up the supporting crowd - who watch on and celebrate the high octane event - and&nbsp;a series of portrait vignettes&nbsp;outside of the venue showcases the distinctive styling and makeup.&nbsp;The cinematography jumps between a grimy, shabby&nbsp;aesthetic and slow shutter black and white setups, which adds a textural, raw vibe to the&nbsp;concept.[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2][imgtoken data:3]

Denis Coleman attends a&nbsp;bizarre social gathering&nbsp;in a grandiose dining room, in Roisino's surreal promo for Halogen Nights.&nbsp;In the video, we see a cast of bizarre characters interacting at the dinner table. They are&nbsp;ready to eat&nbsp; - before a sudden flip in narrative exposes their unruly desires and attitudes."As the song reaches a crescendo - a glass smashes, the video intensifies in pace and the mood darkens," explains Roisino.&nbsp;"The video flips and the gathering becomes the antithesis. People are acting unruly with harmful intention. Will Denis succumb to his surroundings?"&nbsp;The hypnotic, fairytale-esque aesthetic brings the absurdist concept to life, whilst the performances across the board make you feel like you've entered a party you really shouldn't have...

Lina Maxine tries to let a toxic man-go in Roisino's chemistry-inspired promo for her latest track.&nbsp;In the video, we see the artist creating a curious concoction, becoming part of the experiment before breaking out into a rock star performance.&nbsp;Using selective colour effects to bring out the yellow tones of the art direction, and surreal optical lens illusions, it's an effective introduction to the artist and her brand of pop-rock.&nbsp;

Loona Riia guides us through a looping series of portrait setups, in her mesmerising promo for Sipho's Bodies.&nbsp;Centered on vivid colour schemes and Esme Hill's punchy edit, the video sees Sipho surrounded by a rotating group of doppelgangers and background artists, in dazzling monochromatic sets.&nbsp;Packed full of texture and energy, the video is a promising introduction to the Birmingham-based artist and his fluid, genre-defying sound."Sipho had a bright colourful moodboard that created such a contrast with the lyrics of the track," explains Riia.&nbsp;"We were making Sipho's very first video ever, so it was fun to work together on creating the perfect mood, tone and imagery we we were after."I had played around with some chroma paint a couple months before and managed to convince Sipho to pour some over him."[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]
