Giles Edward-N directs a rousing promo for Manchester rock band Corella, where the real world begins to come apart, revealing a strange new reality, created by the power of the music.&nbsp;The video for Thunder Strike&nbsp;finds a couple immersed in a fantasy of psychedelic, sensory visuals and music. Beautifully shot&nbsp;on 35mm by DoP Jed Darlington Roberts, the couple are drawn into an an abandoned art deco amphitheatre - where Corella are playing. As they enter the&nbsp;space, the video dives into a feverish amalgam of glitchy textures, mind-bending decor and liminal errors, matching the breathless pace of the track.&nbsp;It's a feat of slick direction with VFX trickery that feels both fresh and absorbing, as world-bending animation disseminates from the powerful percussion of Thunder Strike.

A mysterious figure ponders what it means to be a man in 2022, in Giles Edward-N's enigmatic promo for Shadez The Misfit.The video explores&nbsp;the artist's socio-economic upbringing and life experience, through to his role as&nbsp;guide and mentor as a new father, with a powerful and memorable style.Shot in high contrast black and white, the video uses conceptual setups to bring the themes to life, with burnt-out highlights and crushed shadows creating a gritty, otherworldly aesthetic.&nbsp;The autobiographical piece blends narrative with abstract imagery, representing the uncertainty of the journey ahead, and the newfound responsibility he has been given.&nbsp;&nbsp;
