Nabil reunites with Foals, and tries his hand at interactivity with this visually impactful&nbsp;360-degree video for&nbsp;the band&#39;s Mountain At My Gates.It&#39;s a high-octane&nbsp;performance video&nbsp;which sees lead singer&nbsp;Yannis Philippakis multiplied as he navigates all over the screen. Storms, dogs, birds, brutalist buildings&nbsp;and jagged mountains create an epic backdrop to the starkly black and white video shot entirely on the GoPro Spherical system.&nbsp;Editor Gareth McEwen&nbsp;at Speade Editing reveals that putting the different elements of the video together&nbsp;was a very difficult but very rewarding process.&nbsp;&quot;Cutting in 360 is a brain melting but utterly absorbing experience,&quot; he says. The possibilities it provides for editors, and for filmmakers as a whole are endless, and I could bore for Britain with my &lsquo;imagine this, imagine that&rsquo; rants.&quot;Offline wise, you work with the image, &lsquo;unwrapped&rsquo; in that the point on the far left and far right of the screen are the same point, behind you.&nbsp;Thus it&rsquo;s a case of constantly bearing in mind that what&rsquo;s happening at the side of the screen is just as important as what might appear in the middle.&nbsp;None of that &lsquo;picture safe, title safe&#39; malarky here.&quot;Nabil is a&nbsp;very&nbsp;clever director and he completely nailed it on the shoot. As well shooting some cracking static performances, he had Yannis&#39; moving takes to lead the viewer&rsquo;s eye. Plus some great texture shots with the birds, dog and the extras, not to mention the effects that would come in post. There wasn&rsquo;t a pixel on screen that hadn&rsquo;t been considered.&quot;Excellent fun, and very rewarding to edit. All I need now is an Occulus Rift headset so I can truly make the most of the full visual experience.&quot; &nbsp;

Dynamic Icelandic duo Arni + Kinski return to music video to take Florence's new pre-Raphaelite look and give it a quasi-1930s makeover for Florence + The Machine's No Light No Light. 
It sees Florence being hounded by a 'neon pink voodoo gremlin', while teetering on the edge of a New York skyscraper, while a choir sings in a cathedral below.
Shot mainly in West London at St Augustine's Church on Kilburn High Road, the epic and dramatic theme matches the equally dramatic pounding soundtrack.

Florence & The Machine 'No Light No Light' by Arni and Kinski

Friendly Fires and Chris Cottam go travelling, and the band have clearly moved on from dreaming of Paris. 
Chris certainly went to Maui for some of the delightful shots in Hawaiian Air. Don't think the band got that far, but they do eventually find the sun after the flight from hell...

Friendly Fires' Hawaiian Air by Chris Cottam

The Enemy's latest anthem is stadium-size expansive, but Rankin &amp; Chris Cottam have gone the other way - encasing the band in a box, where they have to face waves of well hard, good old British hate - plus the odd moment of adulation.
A thoughtful concept to reflect the song's stoic, 'take it like a man' theme, and an excellent team supporting R&amp;C makes it work - including Denzil Armour-Brown's cinematography, Gareth McEwan's editing, Dan Betteridge's box, and the legendary Sue Hiller producing.
