Hope Kemp and Ronan Corrigan celebrate carefree youth in their latest video for The Academic.&nbsp;Shot under a beautiful sunset, the video for Acting My Age features a handful of cast members who race around the beach in a car, messing around and having fun.&nbsp;Focusing on emotion&nbsp;and snippets of memories&nbsp;instead of a traditional narrative,&nbsp;the visual is a montage of experiences which pay homage to life, love and youth.&nbsp;DoP&nbsp;George Barnes captures the hyperactive energy of the concept through handheld camera movement and unique angles, mixing a documentary-style aesthetic with more playful setups.&nbsp;

The Academic 'Anything Could Happen' by Hope Kemp And Ronan Corrigan

The-Academic-'Anything-Could-Happen'-by-Hope-Kemp-And-Ronan-Corrigan

The Snuts' new video for Maybe California, directed by Ronan Corrigan and Hope Kemp, is one big slice of Americana – a homage to the Red White &amp; Blue.Set in the queue of a drive-thru diner, the band watch as the rose-tinted nostalgia of the American dream is slowly, remorselessly wiped away.Observing from the back of the queue, the group watch as enamoured newlyweds become frustrated with each other's presence, a pregnant woman chainsmokes and a businessman fills his coffee with booze.Under the neon lights, the facade behind the fake smiles and happy exteriors begins to deteriorate, leaving a raw and more honest depiction of day-to-day life.&nbsp;
