Harry Barber directs an enthralling promo for Joe Unknown.&nbsp;"Joe came to me with the idea of burning this painting, which had some semblance of a journey finishing," says Barber. "And, as one journey ends, leaving behind a time and a body of memories both fond and bitter, a new one often starts."The promo is strikingly simple in concept, but contrasted against the tense atmosphere and rising screeches of sirens in the track, it becomes a powerful, gripping image.&nbsp;"We wanted to create something that had a beauty to it, but a contrasting chaos and anarchy brewing at the same time," continues Barber. "Something that felt reflective but energising. Something that pulls you in to that hypnotic state and then jolts you back out ready for pastures new."It's safe to say they've gone above and&nbsp;beyond their aspirations&nbsp;with this project.&nbsp;

Joe Unknown 'Silent' by Harry Barber

Joe Unknown - Silent

The two-part film, co-directed by Harry Barber and Kano, explores the London rapper’s Jamaican heritage and influences, and culminates in the most humble but important of gatherings - the coming together of friends to eat and drink.In&nbsp;this fly-on-the-wall-style documentary, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7vANW3jaAM" target="_blank">the first part of the film</a> serves as a prelude to the actual video for Kano's collaboration with Jamaican superstar Popcaan on Can't Hold We Down. Kano discusses his numerous trips to Jamaica since childhood, before he heads down to favourite East London shops with his mum to prepare for the feast - where they are joined by Popcaan, just arrived from Jamaica.&nbsp;In <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fCQ4drZkOE" target="_blank">Part 2 of the film</a>, we are back at Kano's mum's place, and the documentary dovetails smoothly into the music video. As Kano and Popcaan perform, dinner is cooked and served to friends, family and these legends of grime and dancehall. But not before mum blesses the table.&nbsp;

Ewan Jones Morris follows up his excellent new video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2019/07/15/anna-meredith-paramour-ewan-jones-morris/59752" target="_blank">Anna Meredith</a> with another distinctive tour de force for One True Pairing, the new project from former&nbsp;former Wild Beasts songwriter, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Tom Fleming.Fleming performs I'm Not Afraid while also dancing with&nbsp;unselfconscious abandon in a neutral space. It's a performance created from stills, and this&nbsp;becomes the canvas for the next layer of craft, a collage of&nbsp;images to match his face, hands, feet and the remainder of his dancing self.Then the collage technique switches to the&nbsp;background behind&nbsp;Fleming, and we see beautiful landscapes, textures and patterns cut through the silhouette of his body. It's a trademark example of Jones Morris's brand of creativity: eclectic, imaginative visual ideas bursting from simple foundations."Tom was keen to throw some shapes and I was keen to throw some pictures on those shapes," he says.&nbsp;"It was a bit of an experiment, but it seems to have worked." &nbsp;

One True Pairing 'I'm Not Afraid' by Ewan Jones Morris

One True Pairing - I'm Not Afraid (Official Video)

Anna of the North is grande dame to a rowdy community of flyer distributors, in this offbeat video by Harry Barber.If her videos are anything to go by, the Norwegian singer lives a full and varied life. Last seen bathing gorgeous mutts in Used To Be, Anna has worked a stint as a dog groomer, moonlit as a guardian angel, and stalked the streets of Miami at night.&nbsp;After all that, she deserves a bit of peace and quiet. So, with the help of her costumed friends - her ice cream lover, a hot dog, two toilets,&nbsp;and a singing burger - she sabotages a dinner date so she can have a restaurant to herself.Barber has an eye for the magic of suburbia, and the video boasts some glowing photography by Aaron Rogers.

HYYTS endure a series of punishing physical challenges in quiet suburbia, in Harry Barber&#39;s absorbing video for Bullet.With some intriguing long takes, Barber exploits the fact HYYTS are two brothers, Adam and Sam, in a sequence that&#39;s repeated three times. Each time, the trials of endurance get harder, and the&nbsp;closer they get to reaching their lethal point of no return.&nbsp;

Harry Barber directs a vibrant, energetic portrait of a band at home in this candid clip for Courts.Conceived and shot in an impossibly small amount of time, the video follows Courts in their childhood home of Basildon and cuts between performance and more candid shots of the band and their friends in their territory.Brimming with the urgency that comes from just being excited about an idea and shooting it, there&#39;s a spontaneous energy and an earnestness to the video that you couldn&#39;t replicate with any amount of planning.

Long-defunct Microsoft software/mascot&nbsp;Mr. Clippy is back - and looking for revenge -&nbsp;in this surreal, silly and&nbsp;wonderfully entertaining video for Delta Heavy&rsquo;s&nbsp;Ghost by director and VFX maestro Chris Bristow.It goes like this: stuck in Nineties internet software&nbsp;purgatory, and having failed to commit&nbsp;suicide, Mr. Clippy, finds a glimmer of hope when he spots&nbsp;Shania, a more recent, voice-activated digital assistant from a&nbsp;world&nbsp;many versions away. The archaic little creature ends up on an epic&nbsp;quest to stay relevant in an age where apps and memes become old news from one week to the next.But what will become of the well-meaning but&nbsp;universally-hated&nbsp;mascot when he discovers how far we&#39;ve come without him? He gets angry, of course...To recreate the array of classic computer graphics director&nbsp;Chris Bristow used his mixed-media wizardry to full effect, staying faithful to the original mid 90&rsquo;s CG whilst bringing it up to date with a slick, cinematic&nbsp;look. The result is a brilliant&nbsp;bamboozle of internet culture over two decades &ndash; and you may&nbsp;even end up rooting for that clip thing...

Delta Heavy - Ghost

Liverpool trio All We Are&#39;s previous, feelgood&nbsp;clip for the track Utmost Good had their friends, family&nbsp;and local artists singing their&nbsp;lyrics for the camera. Now, the&nbsp;song has been paired with this new video by James Beale, which uses bits of the old clip pieced together&nbsp;with new performance shots of the band, projected onto a stack of television sets inside of a&nbsp;CCTV monitoring room.&nbsp;Playing on the same hazy, sedated themes of the previous&nbsp;clip, this latest video sees everything doubled up, making the whole greater than the sum of its parts. The innovative way the clip repurposes the old with the new -as well as its&nbsp;perfectly mellow pacing-&nbsp;goes further in enhancing the song&#39;s&nbsp;tripped-out glow.
