The story of a relationship played out entirely on London public transport, Sophie Muller&#39;s video for Wolf Alice follows a familiar path from the initial meeting and mutual attraction onwards. But this ends up somewhere less expected.Don&#39;t Delete The Kisses is a real treat. This becomes less about the dramatic arc, and more about the characters - there are outstanding performances here from the lead actors Chelsea&nbsp;Edge and Jack Anderson &ndash; which leaves much more for the viewer to think about. It&#39;s brought together in a marvellous edit by Muller with Owen Oppenheimer. And overall it&#39;s so absorbing, you will probably not be thinking how they figured out how to shoot this.&nbsp;What&#39;s more, it also happens to be Sophie Muller&#39;s first ever video that does not feature the artist. That makes it a landmark as big as any in London. &nbsp;

Houmam Abdallah is one of London&#39;s&nbsp;most prolific colourists, but he&#39;s also been&nbsp;garnering attention for his forays into directing for a while now, particularly with his videos for Beirut&#39;s&nbsp;<a href="https://vimeo.com/44513799" target="_blank">The Rip Tide</a>&nbsp;and The War On Drugs&#39;&nbsp;<a href="https://vimeo.com/102146379" target="_blank">Under The Pressure</a>.&nbsp;Now comes Houmam&#39;s latest outing as director,&nbsp;for&nbsp;2 Pyramids by&nbsp;Oklahoma five-piece Other Lives. It&#39;s yet another testament to&nbsp;his burgeoning directorial&nbsp;skill.&nbsp;The gorgeiously visual promo clearly&nbsp;demonstrates&nbsp;Houmam&#39;s&nbsp;background in colour, through a highly saturated and dazzlingly ornamented&nbsp;dance performance set against a hyperreal,&nbsp;otherwordly background.&nbsp;

Other Lives '2 Pyramids' by Houmam

In this hugely entertaining double-bill for ex-Swedish House Mafia members Sebastian Ingrosso and Axwell Hedfors, their fellow Swede Christian Larson has delivered an action&nbsp;blockbuster, with great fight sequences, memorable characters - and bucketloads of&nbsp;irreverent humour.&nbsp;And Larson, who&nbsp;knows the duo now known as Axwell Ingrosso very well &ndash;&nbsp;having&nbsp;documented Swedish House Mafia&#39;s final tour in his feature-length documentary Leave the World Behind &ndash;&nbsp;has turned them into a winning on-screen double-act, who start out as sworn enemies. Part One, for On My Way, sees&nbsp;Axwell face off with Ingrosso in&nbsp;an underground fist-fighting ring set in a&nbsp;gritty, rough area of Bucharest, Romania. The pressure is on, with Mafia leaders and their&nbsp;burly&nbsp;henchmen placing bets on the&nbsp;fighters &ndash; and threatening to beat them to an inch of their life if they are to lose.But there&#39;s an&nbsp;edgy twist, when it turns out these&nbsp;rapscallions&nbsp;have a plan of their own... And in part two for Can&#39;t Hold Us Down, we get the unexpected payback for their own scheming...So sit back, and enjoy - great fight sequences, great photography courtesy of DoP&nbsp;Erik Sohlstrom, an excellent vintage Volvo that goes up in a ball of flame &ndash; and more evidence that&nbsp;Christian Larson is developing into a hell of a director...&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

In Ryan Hope&#39;s audacious&nbsp;promo for Sam Smith&#39;s&nbsp;Lay Me Down, the Church nave is invoked for all its traditional purposes: to mourn at a funeral, to celebrate a marriage, to worship at the altar. Technically it&#39;s a marvel - each ceremony&nbsp;is captured within one continuous Steadicam shot. Even more important than that is the message sent out by the centrepiece of the video - a same-sex wedding between&nbsp;Sam Smith and his partner.&quot;This video shows my dreams that one day gay men and women and transgendered men and women all over the world, like all our straight families and friends, will be able to get married under any roof, in any city, in any town, in any village, in any country,&quot; writes Sam Smith, in a Facebook post on the video&#39;s release.And aside from the controversy surrounding the&nbsp;political message, the video&#39;s visual narrative packs a punch in framing&nbsp;the ballad initially as a funeral hymn, before it transforms into&nbsp;a soulful serenade. Expertly shot by Jake Scott and graded by Richard Fearon of MPC, the video holds our attention through its rich yet mournful auburn hues which flow seamlessly into the lightness and reverence of the matrimony scene. Richard Fearon explains, &quot;throughout the promo there are countless dynamic grades happening, over multiple layers and windows that are tracked in and out of the shot.&quot;

Here&#39;s someone you wouldn&#39;t want to meet in a dark alley. Davis Silis&#39;s excellent video for Circa Waves&#39; Young Chasers is all about a girl with a temper you could only describe as volcanic.This features a great performance by Chelsea Edge&nbsp;as the girl with a mile-wide mean streak (including strangling a small dog) and a visual effect where Davis throws gritty reality into a graphic illustration of her state of mind - inspired by the work of Beth Hoeckel and Joe Webb.&nbsp;And it all comes together when she arrives at the party where the band are&nbsp;playing... Marvellous.
