Four Walls

Directed by Trevor Melvin and produced by Brit Award Nominee Tom Dalgety, this clip for Waste is an underwater love triangle with dark undercurrents.Set almost entirely at the bottom of a swimming pool, a man finds himself tangled up with two women. However, it&#39;s not as cut and dry as it first seems, as it quickly becomes clear that neither woman really has any interest in him. A fun clip for an exciting new UK rock act.&nbsp;

Having gone from talented on-screen performer to promising music video director&nbsp;with her&nbsp;last&nbsp;album, the Mercury Prize-nominated&nbsp;Hairless Toys,&nbsp;now&nbsp;Róisín Murphy takes things to the next level.&nbsp;Róisín&#39;s video for Ten Miles High, from the forthcoming LP&nbsp;Take Her Up To Monto, adopts&nbsp;a very different tack to the acclaimed videos from Hairless Toys, which were all inspired by the&nbsp;work of great directors of world cinema. This time her canvas is modern London, and operating like a guerilla-video artist, she performs the track in a variety of public spaces in central London, and the City - and mainly on the Tube.Róisín also brings her highly developed sense of style to everyday London, but most&nbsp;strikingly &ndash; and appropriately, at a time when central London mostly resembles a building site &ndash; she&#39;s&nbsp;usually wearing the ubiquitous uniform of the Crossrail construction worker, blending seamlessly in with her environment. And the strangeness of this video art experiment is enhanced by virtually every image itself being manipulated in post in some way.&nbsp;With her development as a visual as well as a music artist reaching a new phase,&nbsp;Róisín Murphy is now also joining the director&#39;s roster of London-based production company Good Egg, for representation to direct videos for other artists, and other content. Promo asked Roisin about the video, and her future ambitions as a director.[imgtoken data:1]&bull; You seem to have taken the changing face of London as inspiration for the Ten Miles High video. How would you explain the idea behind it? How does it relate to the track?&nbsp;&nbsp;This visual concept comes directly from my rather exuberant love of architecture, something I&#39;ve had a passion for since my teenage years. I live in London and most of my days are spent marvelling at the ever-changing landscape. I photograph much of what I see. I engage in discussion on a couple of architectural-social-media platforms. All this means London as a shoot-location has been well scouted by me. But it&#39;s not just about buildings, I also find the transport infrastructure fascinating &ndash; the Tube, the Overground, the DLR and their stations became part of the video-art too. The desire is to show you how I see things in the here and now and to do so joyously. As far as connection to the track, I think it&#39;s asking you to elevate yourself stratospherically whilst keeping you feet firmly on the ground.<blockquote>&quot;I live in London and most of my days are spent marvelling at the ever-changing landscape.&quot; &nbsp;</blockquote>&bull; Is this your first experience of guerrilla-style shooting? How easy was it to wander around, including being dressed like a Crossrail construction worker, and perform in public spaces? &nbsp;They know me now, the guys on the building-site around Tottenham Court Road and on several other sites in central London. I&#39;ve been hanging around dressed in high vis trying to blend in. All the while I&#39;m being surreptitiously&nbsp;filmed by a very small but quite miraculous digital camera. We are a small unit and light on our feet, we grab footage when and where we find it, without permission or permits. Although at first nobody knew what to make of this construction-woman dancing and singing at the edge of their turf, now they know me they just step out of the way and maybe throw their eyes up to heaven. The strange thing is people try not to look. I get on a bus singing and dancing and they all look away.[imgtoken data:2]&nbsp;&bull; It&rsquo;s a real departure from your videos from Hairless Toys, both in the way it was shot, and the post production effects work. Did it turn out the way you planned it beforehand?&nbsp;The videos I made last year were all trapped in a past memory - the Seventies, the Nineties. This was meant to return me to the present moment.&nbsp;I made a few trailers and teasers for my album before I cut the promo for TMH. The intention from the start was to treat the footage irreverently, so I experimented on the trailers, trying everything I could in an edit suite, cutting up the image, replicating images, creating borders, reversing and mirroring. So yes I was pretty prepared when it can to making the video.<blockquote>&quot;My love for directing is getting deep.&quot;&nbsp;</blockquote>&bull; After making four videos now of your own music you&rsquo;ve now signed as a director to Good Egg. Are you ready to start directing videos for other people, or are you more interested in other visual projects?&nbsp;No point not being open I suppose. For sure it&#39;s gonna be interesting when/if I remove myself (my persona) from my work. Who knows where this is taking me? But my love for directing is getting deep.&nbsp;

Ian Pons Jewell has directed this striking video for London-based singer&nbsp;NAO&#39;s Bad Blood (co-written by him and his producer Dobi Manolova) which inhabits a gritty, industrial building&nbsp;and follows the progress of a&nbsp;statuesque and completely nude woman (model Adja Kaba)&nbsp;with some mystifying&nbsp;supernatural&nbsp;powers.Walking around the ruined factory, she&nbsp;encounters characters that look completely out of place&nbsp;-&nbsp;such as three mourners looking over an open casket - and then makes branches burst forth from their mouth and eyes.Filmed&nbsp;in Manolova&#39;s native Bulgaria, and beautifully shot by Ben Fordesman, like much of Ian Pons Jewell&#39;s work, things are left&nbsp;entirely open to&nbsp;interpretation. We may not know who this beautiful yet fearsome woman is &ndash;&nbsp;life? death? Mother Nature herself? &ndash; but once seen, she&#39;s hard to forget...&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

Francis Wallis has directed the story of the absorbing affair of an attractive young couple in Rio&nbsp;de Janiero, taking in the city&#39;s gorgeous&nbsp;locations, but also involving a&nbsp;dramatic climax &ndash; for&nbsp;Blonde&#39;s Feel Good. Working with an entirely local crew, he has done an excellent job in creating an engrossing watch that also ticks all the right pop video boxes.When a girl meets her man when he&#39;s released from&nbsp;prison, they&nbsp;catch up lost time as they visit a number of old friends in the favelas and across town. They make a lovely couple, but when the young man characteristically does a good thing, he becomes the victim of injustice - and then we can question why he was in prison in the first place.

Craig Moore has delivered this colourful and fast-paced dance video for Sigala&#39;s new summer smash, Easy Love, featuring the hugely talented&nbsp;young dance duo known as Lucky Aces.Shot in LA, the video follows a young boy who discovers a colourful pair of sunglasses which gives his world a burst of energy and&nbsp;colour.&nbsp;After meeting a female dance partner, the pair&nbsp;face off with a number of child dance crews&nbsp;across the Californian city in some seriously impressive dance-offs.&nbsp;The slick moves could be seen as a homage to a young Michael Jackson, especially considering Easy Love&#39;s infectious refrain is a sample of Jackson 5&#39;s classic hit &#39;ABC&#39;.

Laurie Lynch&#39;s second video for Oscar is in stark contrast to his first for Daffodil Days, a gritty drama which Lynch discusses in the latest episode of&nbsp;<a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2015/07/20/ruthless-cuts-oscar-daffodil-days" target="_blank">Ruthless Cuts</a>.&nbsp;For the nostalgic pop of Beautiful Words he&nbsp;has delivered a straight&nbsp;performance video with Oscar Scheller performing in front of colourful and abstract film projections.The video was inspired by American visual artist James Turrell, and plays out like an experimental moving image screening, with a focus on the expressive potential of colour, pattern and&nbsp;texture.&nbsp;
