Tom Ringsby directs a striking monochromatic promo for pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason.With sweeping camera movement, a stripped-back colour palette and a focus on pure performance, the video for Children's Corner is a stunning two and a half minutes, made under extreme time pressures - as explained by Tom Ringsby below:"[The video was]&nbsp;put together in five days following an email chain with the subject line 'urgent music video request'," he explains. "[We]&nbsp;only had 90 minutes with classical pianist superstar Isata, so focused everything into capturing a few key angles, subtly bringing the themes of time and memory to life by setting her Steinway Grand between the camera and key light as they revolve around her."Job done. It's a beautiful piece of work that doesn't hint at the time constraints in any way, and showcases&nbsp;Kanneh-Mason's immense gift with style and grace.

Grentperez-'When-The-Day-Is-Done'-by-Devon-Kuziw

Devon Kuziw explores life after heartbreak&nbsp;from a new, lighter perspective, in this playful&nbsp;promo for Aussie indie-pop artist grentperez.&nbsp;&nbsp;The video for Us Without Me follows the adventures of a red baseball cap, discovered by a variety of different characters as they go about their day-to-day lives.&nbsp;Utilising practical, in-camera techniques - placing the body of the camera in the mouths of each cap-wearing cast member - the video has a distinctive look. It places the hat centre-stage in frame and switching up the energy of the video with each different wearer.&nbsp;Kuziw's clever approach gives a&nbsp;easygoing but charismatic energy to the visuals, and fits nicely with grentperez's sweetly downbeat song.[imgtoken data:1]

Christy performs a live acoustic version of his track Without You, from the loft/green room above Peckham Liberal Club.Directed by&nbsp;Rhory Danniells, the video is a follow up to the brilliant <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2022/12/02/christy-denial-live-peckham-liberal-club-rhory-danniells/79560">In Denial</a>, which was released last month and filmed in the same location.&nbsp;Shot in an intentional, gentle fashion, in a single take, the video focuses purely on Christy's emotionally charged performance, whilst the unintrusive style of cinematography helps the whole project feel organic and natural.&nbsp;

Christy 'Without You (Live at Peckham Liberal Club)' by Rhory Danniells

Christy-'Without-You'-by-Rhory-Danniells

Rhory Danniells directs a captivating live video for Christy, shot at the Peckham Liberal Club - in which the Scottish soul singer and his band give a storming performance in front of a disinterested audience of local punters.&nbsp;This palpably live rendition of the soulful&nbsp;number In Denial is an striking display of the artist's vocal prowess and charisma. It's a joyful, uplifting song and the energy on stage is electric, so it wouldn't matter if the audience was empty or facing the other way. But their&nbsp;lack of interest in Christy and his excellent musicians&nbsp;- with the exception of one person - is a nicely daft&nbsp;conceit.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]The video is the first part of a trilogy of live films, and this one is so well executed - with impressive&nbsp;cinematography by Henry Gill and Steadicam work&nbsp;by Jayy Gomez - that it will be interesting to see how Danniels develops the narrative in this wonderfully atmospheric location, as well as hearing more groovy soul from&nbsp;Christy and the band.&nbsp;Will they eventually win over this typically hard-to-please South London crowd?

Ja Humby explores the lengths some bands will go to for success, in this rip-roaring satire on the modern day music biz&nbsp;for shame.&nbsp;The video for Fingers Of Steel reveals the 'truth' behind the group's hype... it's the work of evil&nbsp;genius front-man Charlie Steen, who has forcefully enlisted his bandmates in a click farm operation generating fake likes and comments on their own social media posts.&nbsp;Steen plays the villainous role to perfection, bare-chested and manic throughout, as self-obsessed as he is demanding, as he bullies his bandmates into submission. And their musical instruments go unplayed as they churn increasingly outlandish comments online.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]Blending narrative with glitchy animation and a 90's thriller-esque colour scheme, the video is sharp, funny and works really well with the track - remarkably it was apparently turned around in a week -&nbsp;and Steen's hip thrusting will stay in your mind long after watching...&nbsp;It also represents a triumphant reunion between the band and Ja Humby, who worked together on the faux doc and live performance film, <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2021/03/10/shame-live-flesh-molten-jets-ja-humby/69817" target="_blank">Live In The Flesh</a>&nbsp;for the director's Molten Jets project."Conceived and delivered in one week with very little sleep, the frontman was somehow more narcissistic off-camera than he is on it - humping thin air between barrages of punches," claims Humby. "His hips would spasm when he caught himself in the mirror, despite the tantrum-induced snot bubbles no one dared to point out."Huge thank you to everyone involved in this brutally honest depiction of a modern band’s struggle for fame."

Ellie Dixon laments&nbsp;her online haters, in&nbsp;Jasmine De Silva's&nbsp;promo for Swing!&nbsp;The vibrant visual sees Dixon appear in several baseball-inspired vignettes, shot in a studio to give a heightened, dreamlike feel.The eccentric, larger than life costumes and&nbsp;art direction mirror the internet's blurred lines between artificial and real worlds, and Dixon's captivating performance anchors the concept in a candid way."I wrote this song when I was feeling particularly beaten down by negativity from other people," she explains. "I’d had way too much social media so I switched my phone off for a week, shut myself in my bedroom, and let myself be silly and angry and crack jokes."It’s basically one big ridiculous baseball metaphor reminding you that you are better than the bad things being thrown at you. Swing back baby!"

Following the recent <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2021/02/19/franc-moody-live-lift-ja-humby/69575" target="_blank">Live In The Lift for Franc Moody</a>, Ja Humby's latest in his Molten Jets&nbsp;series is this one-of-a-kind doc and performance film for Shame.&nbsp;Live In The Flesh is another example of Humby combining a brilliantly captured live performance with a distinctive brand of comedy - this time focussing on the character of Chayse Bigwood, first time tour promoter who's capacity for ineptitude is in inverse proportion to the quality of the music.This mockumentary takes us backstage before Shame's big London comeback gig at the Brixton Academyt, with virgin promoter Bigwood attempting to ingratiate himself with the band. The extend of the distastrous promotion becomes clear - no support acts, sparse audience of fleeced punters - while the band watch The Weakest Link before the show. Last-ditch attempts to hide the truth from the band precede what then transpires is a great show which, sadly,&nbsp;very few actually get to see live in the flesh. It's a&nbsp;sad story with powerful live music.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the manner of the previous Molten Jets shows, this&nbsp;half hour film&nbsp;feels incredibly intimate and authentic, due to the fly-on-the-wall cinematography and observational angles. The energy of the live performance spills over into something wonderfully transcendent and ethereal. DoP&nbsp;Claudiu Voicu balances the stripped-back, everyday colour palettes in&nbsp;the behind the scenes setups with the aspirational, neon washes of colour on-stage, creating a dynamic and engaging aesthetic.&nbsp;Meanwhile,&nbsp;Chayse Bigwood is now under police investigation for the fraudulent VIP hospitality package and his sideline in unofficial Shame merchandise - which is a bit problematic for Ja Humby.&nbsp;"Molten Jets’ affiliation with Bigwood’s elite fashion consultancy and holistic trending clinic - Hotbitz.biz - makes me a person of interest in the investigation," he admits."One thing I can do though is thank the amazing filmmaker Simon Halsall for his editing work on the performance bits. I’ve never worked with another editor on one of my own projects before, so it was refreshing to have more eyes on it. I probably butchered his work in my cut, but whatever, 'it’s rock n roll'&nbsp;as my old boss used to say."

A&nbsp;geek&nbsp;that has no luck with girls has a change in fortune when he finds a magical boom&nbsp;box in&nbsp;this wacky video for Bite The Buffalo&#39;s track Polka Dots by&nbsp;Rhory Danniells. Soon after finding the boom box at a secondhand furniture sale, it quickly becomes much more than a music-playing&nbsp;device, turning into a friend, gaming-buddy and wingman.&nbsp;
