Hugh Rochfort

Hugh Rochfort's video for punk-jazz combo&nbsp;Melt Yourself Down is a frenzied and euphoric examination of society's outcasts and their refuges.Though all vastly different, the characters share an internalised claustrophobia, which is brought to light as they're not&nbsp;able to satisfy their natural desires, and their need to belong. They are consciously or unconsciously trying to shield their own spleen from the societal 'Boot'.Colourful and wacky, the video is relentlessly frenetic courtesy of the quickfire edit by Greg Hayes, allowing just enough time to catch your breath before it goes somewhere even wilder than before. The extensive use of closeups helps to portray the feeling of claustrophobia, the unusual camera angles adds to disorienting effect - pretty much perfect for the&nbsp;uncompromising Boot And Spleen.&nbsp;

The driver for a hardened&nbsp;criminal finds himself losing touch with reality, and drifting off to places he would rather be, in Hugh Rochfort&#39;s video for Icarus.The young man (Jed Quaresma) finds that his car becomes his vehicle to another dimension: a series of distorted visions and memories, as if the Sirens of Icarus&#39;s song are calling him back to his old life.

Icarus 'Sirens' by Hugh Rochfort

Icarus-'Sirens'-by-Hugh-Rochfort

Hugh Rochfort has created a cinematic document of singer-songwriter James Smith performing his catchy&nbsp;soulful number Little Love.Shot in different formats, the video reflects the fierce&nbsp;dedication shown by Smith to his songwriting craft.&quot;It&rsquo;s not often you meet people as dedicated as James Smith and this song is about the sacrifice he has made for his work,&quot; says Rochfort. &quot;James locked himself away in his home studio, continuously writing, while his friends hung out. We wanted to make a video which represented his dedication and show what a killer performance he can deliver.&quot;

Hugh Rochfort&#39;s new video for Crows - his second for the band &ndash; builds atmosphere and tension right from the start as one man walks through London&#39;s less salubrious quarters: the industrial estates, the markets, the tower blocks.At the core is a protagonist separated from the world, arguably oppressed by the unforgiving environment he walks through. But there&#39;s also a gritty beauty in the depiction of the city&#39;s tough heartlands, captured in DoP Richard Simkins&#39; photography. That quality never falters in this impressive and stylish work.&nbsp;&nbsp;

London band Crows have released this&nbsp;visceral clip, telling a&nbsp;story of a young South London couple and the breakdown of a short-lived relationship, directed by Hugh Rochfort.With plenty of close-ups of heavy and&nbsp;inscrutable gazes, cigarettes, human&nbsp;skin,&nbsp;and dark silhouettes, the video evokes the lovers&#39; demise cut with an eruption of&nbsp;aggressive&nbsp;energy channeled through the band&#39;s&nbsp;performance of their song,&nbsp;Whisper. Impressive work by Rochfort, and DoP Jack Mealing.
