Steve Stamp plays a lonely guy compelled to rebel against authority - in the form of a bumptiously self-important security guard - in Duncan Loudon's delightfully absurd accompaniment to Signal From The Noise, the first release from Canadian jazzers Bad Bad Not Good's new album.Over the track's psychedelia-influenced nine-minute duration, Stamp finds imaginative ways to rile his small-minded arch-nemesis - played by Michael Armstrong -&nbsp;in a Docklands-style open space&nbsp;where definition of private and public is notably blurred.&nbsp;His piece de resistance is the&nbsp;accurate puppet version of the guard to the space, provoking a predictably furious&nbsp;reaction.[imgtoken data:1]Shot on 16mm, with a natural grade of Oliver Ford's cinematography by Connor Coolbear at ETC, Loudon has applied a&nbsp;very contemporary look to a film that's really&nbsp;in the ballpark&nbsp;of classic silent comedy.Steve Stamp channels something of both Chaplin and Jacques Tati in his performance as the deadpan rebel railing against small-minded officialdom. It's great - and inspiring.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Staves 'Blood I Bled' by Nick Rutter

It was inevitable, wasn&#39;t it?&nbsp;With the emergence of the GoPro and the fact some people have no fear, something crazy was always going to happen. Thankfully&nbsp;Charlie Robins (from the Charlie &amp; Joe directing team)&nbsp;took it upon himself to put a fresh perspective,&nbsp;a birds-eye-view if you will, that&nbsp;has been shot death-defyingly well. Not for those with vertigo but for everyone else this can only be described as sheer entertainment.The video for&nbsp;Klangkarussell&#39;s&nbsp;Netzwerk (Falls Like Rain) is a brilliant showcase for the daredevil antics of the Ukranian human fly known as Mustang Wanted &ndash; a young man who is able to hang from cranes, one-handed, hundreds of feet above the ground. And with his homeland in a state of turmoil at the moment,&nbsp;Charlie brought him to Belgrade to shoot the video.Everyone gets their kicks in different ways, it&#39;s definitely enough just watching for us. Quite simply, its amazing.We thus (from our office chair)&nbsp;took the time to chat to ask Charlie about his first solo project, find out just how crazy Mustang Wanted is in real life, and discover what it was like to look death in the face on set everyday.LT: Klangkarrussell dominated last summer with their hit Sonnentanz - but&nbsp;how did this collabaration come about?&nbsp;CR: The track was sent through to me. I had the free climbing idea in my mind for a while, and was looking for the perfect musical accompaniment. The lyrics in the song seemed to fit perfectly with what I was trying to do visually, so I pitched the guys the idea and the project went from there.With the emergence of these self-shot stuntmen videos going viral, have you wanted to base a music video around one for a while?I&#39;d seen an incredible documentary a few months back that featured the crazy exploits of Mustang Wanted. He does things so mind-bogglingly dangerous I thought this had to be made into a video somehow. I contacted him and planted the seed. He was well up for collaborating, so we simply waited for the right project to come up. KlangKarrussell came through with Netzwerk (Falls Like Rain) - it was perfect.What was it like working with Mustang Wanted, is he as crazy as his stunts?He is very much a free spirit. It was quite difficult to control him. The way he sees buildings/structures is so far removed from the normal way of thinking. There were several hairy moments when he just shot up a building without warning. Needless to say we had to keep our cameras rolling the whole time.He&#39;s 21 but doesn&#39;t drink, smoke or do drugs, which came as a great relief to me. The last thing I needed was a boozed up or hungover, excited kid climbing like a nutter. He obviously gets his kicks in other ways. How dangerous was it shooting this, in terms of getting the footage? Were there any safeguards put in place to prevent him falling? Mustang works without safety nets, but the crew were safe at all times of course.&nbsp;There were some genuine heart-in-mouth moments for me and the crew on the shoot. For the most part I was looking at the monitor pretending it was just a clip on youtube. My stomach was in knots for two days straight. I also seemed to develop an unhelpful fear of heights halfway up a shoddy ladder on the roof of one of the tallest buildings in Belgrade.Belgrade looks incredible, how did you choose which city to shoot in?&nbsp;I originally wanted to shoot the video in Kiev, Ukraine but for obvious reasons that became impossible. I wanted to find a similar looking city with brutal, eastern block architecture. Belgrade was a perfect fit. We found a Serbian production company who worked like troopers to make this all happen in such a short timeframe.For the aerial shots did you use a drone? Helicopter?We used a drone for the aerials. Dragan, our drone operator, was amazing. He could fly that thing inches from Mustang&rsquo;s face and at those height we needed someone precise.Predominantly working in a pair, Charlie &amp; Joe, what was it like working solo?This was the first promo I&#39;ve done without Joe. It was strange not having that person to bounce off but equally as freeing to have one voice on set. Working with a partner is always great and has its obvious benefits but sometimes you just have to get out there on your own and see what you can achieve. He&#39;s doing some really exciting solo stuff too.

Shot on location at the Crumlin Road Prison in Belfast, Lucy Tcherniak contrasts very poignantly Hudson Taylor&#39;s acoustic ballad Weapons, with the brutal reality of life as an inmate.&nbsp;Starring Liam McMahon and a cast of locals playing the other prisoners&nbsp;and screws, producer Ben Falk explains:&quot;Lucy cast Liam after seeing his performance in Steve McQueen&#39;s &#39;Hunger&#39;, and quickly discovered there was no challenge she could throw at him that he wouldn&#39;t rise to.&quot;They worked very closely on developing the narrative, under continued consultation with ex-offenders Michael Diamond (playing Liam&#39;s cellmate) and Kieran King (playing the lead screw) whose input was invaluable in creating something authentic, basing many of the scenes on their real life experiences.&quot;

A Japanese&nbsp;woman takes a voyage of discovery&nbsp;- through the nightlife of the&nbsp;city and into the country - with a journey is as much spiritual as physical in the director&#39;s cut of&nbsp;Bob Harlow&#39;s video for Sub Focus&#39;s Turn It Around, featuring Kele from Bloc Party on vocals.&nbsp;The lady&#39;s motivation is mysterious in this intriguing&nbsp;character study - but there&#39;s still a bit of twerking in there...&nbsp;

Reflecting her fascination with North Africa and her partly Algerian heritage, Institute For Eyes (Luke Seomore and Joseph Bull) travelled to Casablanca in Morocco with young singer Yadi to shoot the video for The Blow - with a combination of regular collaborators and local crew.
The result is an absorbing snapshot of real life in this beautiful city - given a more dramatic edge in the alternate cut for the Joe Goddard remix of The Blow.
