Emil Nava directs a funky performance promo for Calvin Harris, featuring Justin Timberlake, Pharrell and Halsey.With an aesthetic that can only be described as Disco meets Miami, the video for Stay With Me is a flamboyant, hypnotic trip, complete with lighthearted&nbsp;performances and kaleidoscopic visual effects.The set design is also noteworthy, boasting&nbsp;a custom mirrored tunnel&nbsp;and conveyor belts on the floor, which add to the hallucinatory vibe of the concept.&nbsp;

Emil Nava makes a storming return to music videos with a mesmerizing, richly colourful video for Calvin Harris's own return, with the laidback Potion - featuring Dua Lipa and Young Thug.It's Calvin and Dua's first collaboration since the megahit <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2018/05/03/calvin-harris-dua-lipa-one-kiss-emil-nava/52939" target="_blank">One Kiss</a> - which came with a groundbreaking deconstructed-style pop video from Nava. This also nods to One Kiss with its irreverent approach to the traditional pop video, while maintaining focus&nbsp;on Dua and Future, highlighted with a&nbsp;glamourous grade by colourist Kristopher Smale.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Passions collide in Emil Nava's fiery new visual for Bruises by Lewis Capaldi.&nbsp;A young couple are stood in a yard full of shipping containers and derelict fenced-off areas. They remain at arm's length as they stare deeply into each other's eyes, tears streaming down their cheeks. As black and white snapshots of their past fire onto screen, we are introduced to their tumultuous relationship and the rollercoaster of emotions they have experienced together.Moments later, groups of fired-up people march towards the fences behind each of the characters. Representing the pent up emotion and frustration, these performers are colour-coded to either white clothing (to match the male character) or burnt copper (to match the female character). In a powerful and frenetic climax, molotov cocktails are thrown (in turn burning Capaldi's piano to the ground, and setting him alight), horses appear and fences are destroyed and pushed to the ground.&nbsp;The emotion is palpable, and the frenzy of people, props and animals creates a war-like environment that perfectly mirrors the track. Capaldi gives an emotional and confident performance, rounding off a great concept perfectly executed by the team.&nbsp;

In his latest&nbsp;video for&nbsp;Calvin Harris, this time featuring Rag &#39;n&#39; Bone Man, Emil Nava dramatizes a young man&rsquo;s struggles at home and his subsequent escape into nature.Exploring themes of an old world colliding with the modern one, the video features Calvin himelf fishing and foraging in the mystical forest, horseback riders in tracksuits, and a fire pit that evokes a sense of reconnecting with nature. And then Rag&#39;n&#39; Bone takes on the role of a wise sage, as he performs his piece in the forest.Nava&rsquo;s production studio Ammolite Inc. produced all related content as well as the video itself &ndash;&nbsp;including vertical videos, BTS videos, cinemagraphs, GIFs, and stills, in a full 360 campaign for the track. The studio&rsquo;s collective of global collaborators worked closely with Nava to deliver the visual assets for the film to live across a variety of social platforms.

L-Devine-'Peer-Pressure'-by-Emil-Nava

Emil Nava&#39;s video for Calvin Haris and Sam Smith&#39;s collaboration&nbsp;is a love letter to the drag scene, and a tribute to the world immortalised by Paris Is Burning and Madonna&#39;s Vogue video in the late Eighties.It&#39;s also&nbsp;a lot grittier than Vogue, but there&#39;s&nbsp;also a real joie de vivre and geniune spirit that makes this a great video for Promises. It&#39;s got authenticity, and there is a broad church of glamour on show: from the drag queens and voguers, to models including Winnie Harlow (who has the skin condition vitilago). And&nbsp;Sam Smith&#39;s pleasure in the whole situation is obvious, which takes things to another level.From the drag queens and voguers personal stories at the beginning, the message of personal freedom of expression&nbsp;mixes with an array of dazzling images&nbsp;- crafted by three editors, no less - and there is certainly something of the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ2DVwSVIIo" target="_blank">George Michael video for Too Funky</a> about the climactic catwalk set-up. George surely would have&nbsp;loved this.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

Emil Nava&#39;s videos don&#39;t usually begin with a Parental Advisory, but it&#39;s necessary here. They don&#39;t come much bloodier than his video for Post Malone&#39;s rockstar.&nbsp;As white-suited Malone unleashes his Samurai sword on his black-suited enemies, this is Kill Bill with lots more&nbsp;gore, refracted through a lens of wooziness. An ultraviolent video that pulls no punches in its pitch-black humour.
