Toronto-based director Lucas Hrubizna creates a groundbreaking and bewildering&nbsp;vision of a near-death experience for Sad Night Dynamite, courtesy of cutting-edge 'VolCap' technology, to introduce new release Volume II.Hrubizna has directed an interlinked series of five video shorts that takes the pop-electronic duo's fascination with surreal and psychedelic narrative into amazing new territory. It was made possible by access to the Volumetric Capture facilities at Dimension Studios in London - where SND were filmed performed, and effectively transformed into 3D models.Together with 2D plates of the band performance against greenscreen,&nbsp;Hrubizna could use this material to place them with his created CGI worlds without leaving his home studio. It has taken months of work, but the end-result is mind-boggling, as the approach is to make these worlds as harsh, forbidding, uncomfortable&nbsp;and unpredictable as possible - in accordance with the artists' brief.[imgtoken data:1]<blockquote>Each piece is meant to be a mini-fever dream.</blockquote>“SND had imagined a series of pieces taking place within some sort of purgatory - an abstract in-between place where time has dissolved," explains the director. "Having experienced a near-death event, they had seen the visuals of this project somehow reflecting the dreamlike journey from life to the precipice of death and back."I started to think of the ascending levels of Dantés Purgatorio, and loosely re-imagined them as bleak, liminal spaces from the modern world, wherein reality has exploded into harsh, digital fragments."Each piece is meant to be a mini-fever dream that perfectly loops, reflecting the endless sense of time and space in purgatory while also functioning on social media platforms, where looped video playback is standard.”[imgtoken data:2]

Raja Virdi directs another of his signature one-shot live performances, this time for Becky Hill's sensational hit Space.Taking inspiration from the work of Olafur Eliasson in terms of the gradients and colours, Virdi lights the studio&nbsp;in a pastel colour palette.&nbsp;The use of perspective&nbsp;in the art direction helps&nbsp;reflect&nbsp;the themes and ideas present in the track, and also ties&nbsp;the concept back to the official video, with cascading staircases and inspired use of negative space.

Joesef can't get comfortable in&nbsp;Molly Burdett's video for&nbsp;I Wonder Why.Examining the dichotomous&nbsp;emotions that come with loss and heartache, the concept transitions from cold blue colours - as if frozen in time and not knowning where to turn - to warm reds, an overload of information that leads to a meltdown... quite literally.&nbsp;Strikingly still and composed, DoP&nbsp;Adric Watson uses subtle camera movement and intriguing composition to further the narrative, without taking any attention away from the performance."I Wonder Why is about the slow burn of heartache, and the cyclical nature of losing someone and trying to forget about it," Molly Burdett tells us. "This intimate video reflects these transitional mental states."

Declan McKenna's life is invaded by a döppelgänger - none other than Alex Lawther, from End Of The F***ing World&nbsp;and other good stuff - in Will Hooper's video for The Key To Life On Earth.&nbsp;Hooper has a lot of fun with the oft-noted physical&nbsp;similarity between the two men - and with the deteriorating relationship as initial harmony turns to disparity, and worse.Fact is, no-one really does&nbsp;'incel-style' creepiness quite as well as Mr Lawther, so it's not so surprising that his 'fanboy' character begins to take the upper hand. Will Declan get smothered by all that passive-aggression, and two become one...?&nbsp;

Matilda Finn delivers a surreal and disturbing&nbsp;nightclub-set thriller for Brodinski, inspired by nightclub scenes in the classic hip-hop film&nbsp;Belly, with added notes&nbsp;of David Lynch's Blue Velvet.Overlooking the sexy moves on the dancefloor, a tweaked-out, earphone-wearing Mr. Big&nbsp;descends from the VIP section to join the party, stop everyone in his tracks, and command his security to bring him a terrified partner to indulge his&nbsp;gruesome predeliction. And it ends with a bang.&nbsp;Finn builds the tension through the relentless drive of the simple yet shockingly eery&nbsp;narrative, threatening chaos over ZelooperZ's unhinged vocal on&nbsp;Master Selection, within her perfectly executed world - a club that switches from&nbsp;glamourous and inviting, to dangerous and claustrophobic in seconds. The cinematography by Ben Fordesman is superb, so is the grade by Myles Bevan. Above all, a virtuoso masterclass of direction by&nbsp;Matilda Finn.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Opulence and grace flow through Chiswick House&nbsp;in&nbsp;Adriaan Louw's video for up and coming singer Awa's Like I Do.&nbsp;Showcasing&nbsp;subtle extravagance in the stunning setting, Louw constructs portraiture style set-ups in a number of magnificent rooms; each contrasting dramatically in colour and design, but all equally as regal in style.Exploring themes of sisterhood and femininity, Awa is joined by several other girls in most of the scenes, representing both a family and an inner circle who have each other's best interests at heart.&nbsp;Balancing cinematic composition with understated performances, DoP&nbsp;Olan Collardy keeps the camerawork slow and steady, building upon the laidback vibe of both the video and track and allowing the subtle movements and serious facial expressions to speak for themselves.&nbsp;

Choker is a genre-blending rap song about being pigeonholed as a 'pretty girl', by new South London artist KEYAH/BLU. Jasper Cable-Alexander supplies a very cool and intriguing visual to accompany it.Cable-Alexander gets into the psyche of the performer with classic in-camera techniques, and shabby-chic art direction and styling. It starts claustrophobic, gets quirky, and there's a nice line of dark humour, as KEYAH?BLU dispatches her pretty self to oblivion...&nbsp;&nbsp;

Flohio&rsquo;s new video Watchout,&nbsp;directed by Stella Scott, takes on a distinct retro feel through it&#39;s use of low res&nbsp;video and old-school graphics.Scott places Flohio within the context of surveillance, which gives it a dystopian edge while still entirely focussing on her performance. It&#39;s dark and atmospheric, with a great lo-fi visual style, that makes Watchout is a compelling watch.
