Will Young is back with his heavily Motown-influenced Love Revolution - and reminding everyone what a standout music video performer he is in the highly entertaining video by Chino Moya.&nbsp;Powered by the wonderfully inventive&nbsp;art direction and&nbsp;styling that marked out his video&nbsp;<a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2014/02/05/st-vincent-digital-witness-chino-moya" target="_blank">St Vincent&#39;s Digital Witness</a>, Chino gives Will the chance to play a character with murky depths, and&nbsp;comic potential. He&#39;s the creepy marketing director of faceless cleaning products who&#39;s manic enthusiasm takes on quasi-religious overtones.&nbsp;Chino has hailed&nbsp;Will&#39;s acting chops&nbsp;- see below - and it certainly looks like he&#39;s taking his on-screen performing to the next level. Maybe it&#39;s all down to the beard...&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

Adam Powell&#39;s heartwarming video for Jessie Ware&#39;s You &amp; I (Forever) uses the photobooth as a device to illustrate the enduring power of love.&nbsp;Numerous people of all ages - including a couple (Mr and Mrs Sutton, parents of Carrie) who have been married more than 50 years - have been filmed as if in a photobooth, and some also interviewed.&nbsp;And Jessie and her partner are also one of the participants.

Marina & The Diamonds 'Froot' by Chino Moya

Just as he was about to deliver his keynote speech at the first MusicVidFest in London on Monday, Joseph Kahn discovered that his latest video for Taylor Swift had leaked onto the internet,&nbsp;a day ahead of schedule. Several hours later, Joseph could&nbsp;only be distracted from his white-hot Twitter feed when&nbsp;he realised he was the guy they were talking about on stage at the UKMVAs at the beginning of the presentation of the Icon Award.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;It&#39;s no surprise that Joseph&#39;s video for&nbsp;Blank Space broke the internet a bit on Monday, as few music videos have done before without resorting to explicit content. It presents a glorious fantasy of Taylor in her princess&#39;s castle - actually&nbsp;Oheka Castle and Woolworth Mansion in New York State - falling for her prince. The setting is sumptuous, the guy is drop-dead gorgeous... and then comes the surprise.&nbsp;Taylor turns nasty. In fact, not just nasty. She&#39;s mad. She&#39;s evil. An irrational green-eyed jealous monster who destroys her fairytale piece by piece, and his car, and his clothes. This big pop video is driven by&nbsp;the sarcastic edge of&nbsp;Blank Space, addressing her complicated&nbsp;love life, and the gossip. And Joseph does a typically masterful job seamlessly combining the glamour with the sarcasm and creating a &#39;bad Taylor&#39; that is so over the top, so knowing, you feel she&#39;s still lovely underneath.At his keynote speech Joseph made much of his belief that the role of the video director was &#39;at the spearhead&#39; of the marketing of the artist. That the job was not all about getting supportive comments from other directors from the Vimeo community, but&nbsp;was actually&nbsp;ll about what the artist (and their record company)&nbsp;want to project about themselves. This is a very good example of what he is talking about.Could have been very tricky, turning Taylor Swift into a bad, mad girl. But&nbsp;this is both an artistic statement and&nbsp;irresistable entertainment.&nbsp;

With a compelling narrative, a band performance, and the almost tangible feeling of wanting to find out more, as a girl chases after the boy who is about to leave her for good, we are in classic&nbsp;Jamie Thraves territory in his video for Twin Atlantic&#39;s Hold On.&nbsp;Featuring an excellent performance from&nbsp;Chiarina Woodall -&nbsp;in her first professional role out of drama school &ndash; Jamie keeps the suspense going right to the end. There&#39;s also a little nod to his classic video for Radiohead&#39;s Just, as the band performance and the narrative briefly intersect. And check out the art on the wall...

Bleak, brooding and beautiful, Rob Chiu delivers this moving and compelling promo set to the gorgeous atmospherics of Douglas Dare&#39;s Nile.&nbsp;The video centres on model&nbsp;Anne Ladegast (Rob&#39;s fiancée) as she goes wandering in the dramatically cinematic&nbsp;Snowdonia in North Wales and Saddleworth Moor&nbsp;then appears to disintegrate before our eyes - achieved by shooting high-speed footage of a mannequin&nbsp;dressed in a black tshirt&nbsp;and setting it on fire. Wonderful.

Something a bit different for a Jon Hopkins video - a performance video. In a&nbsp;smoky, dimly-lit space, Rob Chiu directs featured artist Lulu James for We Disappear, and keeps&nbsp;it a compelling watch with minimal changes. It&#39;s all about the smoke, the subtle changes of light, and Lulu&#39;s vocal and dance performance.And we asked Rob a few questions about the making of the video...How did you come up with the fairly unusual idea for Jon Hopkins of doing a performance video?&nbsp;Jon gave me a brief that detailed specific colours and the word nocturnal. Although he was open-minded to any approach he did mention that he was interested in something quite surreal and performance-based over something narrative. I am usually drawn automatically towards a narrative approach so it was interesting for me to personally explore something very different from what I usually do.What was the key to making a minimalist performance video stay compelling all the way through?Before we shot, myself and Jon discussed the timings in the track and how to create a build and to maintain interest throughout. For example utilising elements such as Lulu stepping out of the smoke to her wearing different costumes to using the rotating lens that spins through 360&ordm;. We wanted to keep it interesting and mysterious with Lulu emerging from the fog and then eventually disappearing back in with us never really getting a traditional look at her.Where did you shoot? Seems like you used a lot of smoke and that could make it difficult to work. Was that one of the main challenges you faced?We shot in a car park in South London which was apparently used for some scenes in Skyfall. It was a challenge to shoot with smoke and to achieve the organic nature of her costume so that it appeared to be blowing in the wind.We ended up in some set ups with Lulu on a rotating turntable, the camera spinning 360&ordm; and then 4 people holding her dress out of frame flapping the fabric around to resemble wind! Pretty insane!
