New directors&nbsp;Smith &amp; Follini&#39;s utterly feelgood&nbsp;video for&nbsp;Tiggs Da Author&#39;s Swear Down, featuring London MC&nbsp;Yungen, captures London&#39;s endless summer of 2016, which becomes the opportunity for Tiggs and friends to have a good time.Beautifully shot by DP&nbsp;Stuart White, the result is a glowing testament to the giddy atmosphere&nbsp;and dazzling&nbsp;beauty of London when it happens to find itself under picnic-day weekend sunshine. That&#39;s ideal, as Tiggs radiates a lot of warmth onscreen himself.Smith and&nbsp;Follini explain:&nbsp;&quot;We wanted to capture those hazy summer days that seem to go on forever. The ones where you just walk out of your house and bump into your friends, and the afternoon unravels effortlessly. Soon enough everyone finds themselves at the same yard and for a few hours London seems like another world.&quot;

Youthclub&#39;s&nbsp;mixed-format video for Kattison switches between past and present in a dizzying haze of summer parties.Combining archive footage shot by Youthclub&nbsp;between 1998 and 2000 around Ibiza, Ayia Napa and Kavos on a Sony Hi8 camera, and new narrative footage shot on the same bit of kit, we follow the carnage that ensues in the summer party capitals of Western Europe. We follow two separate&nbsp;duos who party their way through paradise before eventually meeting - only for one duo to get the better of the other.Combining the Hi8 footage with modern Arri Alexa footage gives the video a contemporary feel with an authentic throwback nature - lending its aesthetic to the clubland sounds of the track itself.

Eoin Glaister&#39;s video for Beach Baby&#39;s U R&nbsp;finds a new way&nbsp;to explore a trauma that&nbsp;affects almost everyone at some point or another.&nbsp;Lily&nbsp;Newmark is the girl going through the &#39;Five stages of Break-Up Grief&#39;&nbsp;during an English summer of&nbsp;cinematic loveliness, haunted by Beach Baby frontman Lawrence - evidently the object of her affections.&nbsp;It&#39;s wistful, surreal, and of a piece with a song displaying fine old school guitar jangliness.&nbsp;Newmark deadpans her way from Denial to Mania and beyond - and Glaister reveals below that most of the crew on the shoot turned out to be experts on the subject.&nbsp;

Lonely The Brave 'River River' by Franklyn Banks

Taking his lead from the lines like&nbsp;&ldquo;there&rsquo;s panic in my heart&rdquo;, and &ldquo;can&rsquo;t hide from it all&rdquo;, Franklyn Banks has conjured a video for Gaz Coombes&#39;s solo outing Detroit with a&nbsp;sense of escape, and&nbsp;an epic canvas - and an important role&nbsp;for the&nbsp;ex-Supergrass frontman. &nbsp;Franklyn&#39;s focus is a running man &ndash;&nbsp;played by Mark Boulton - who we see first pounding along&nbsp;Blackpool seafront past the Illuminations. And he just keeps running - to the awesome landscapes of the Lake District, and on to London.&nbsp;Meanwhile, Gaz&#39;s brief appearances suggest a connection to the running man - but it still comes as a surprise when its finally revealed.&nbsp;I think you could say that Gaz is covering his back...[imgtoken data:1]

A young man heads into picturesque English countryside to meet a brooding young lady of the manor in Franklyn Banks&#39;s intriguing video for Hugh&#39;s One Of These Days.The upshot is unexpected, to say the least - although the&nbsp;lyrics &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll have you all to myself&rdquo; give a hint of the girl&#39;s unusual tastes in this satisfying chiller.

Franklyn Banks shoots Chapel Club in a variety of disparate locations - at the foot of a bridge, in a dense forest, in a telephone kiosk, by a tower block - in his promo for their new single Shy.&quot;Chapel Club came to us looking for a video with a dry sense of humour&quot; explains Franklyn. &quot;So I came up with the idea of deconstructing the nature of shyness &ndash; the feelings of awkwardness, wanting to take refuge, feeling under scrutiny, stuttering etc &ndash; and turning these facets into a series of visual sight gags.&quot;It&#39;s always excellent to work with people who are up for really throwing themselves into an idea even when this involves blowing into teapots, stumbling round Thamesmead in the pissing rain or being locked&nbsp; in a massive trunk.&quot;The crew were amazing, big shouts to DOP Ben Fordesman &amp; editor Chris Roebuck in particular for being such consistent streams of ideas and positivity&quot;.
