Chris Fowles directs an innovative and intriguing promo for singer-songwriter Henry Moodie, combining normal screen shape and vertical video in one clever concept.&nbsp;For Drunk Text, Fowles has Moodie sitting in the front seat on the upper deck of a bus during two different journeys -&nbsp;a day in April, and a night in November - captured from the same camera position. Meanwhile, behind him, a series of interconnected stories unfold among a number passengers who are also on both journeys.The regular 16:9 screen is also divided into three sections, which enables Fowles to use split-screen to cut between journeys, and emphasise the small dramas and interactions between the characters. And Moodie always remains in the central section of the 'triptych', performing the heartfelt Drunk Text."The concept was designed specifically for new video mediums like TikTok," Fowles confirms. "We wanted to experiment with using the format itself to tell the story."So when viewed vertically, you’ll only see the main performance. But when viewed with the widescreen you reveal all the stories and context."In&nbsp;doing so, Fowles has been entirely successful.&nbsp; There is a real complexity to the soap opera unfolding behing Moodie that makes it worth watching again. But in the&nbsp;dovetailing of both narrative and&nbsp;conceptual ideas it also makes a real contribution&nbsp;in addressing the issue of competing video formats.

Following Ducrot's stunning rendition of <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2022/12/20/cian-ducrot-w-royal-northern-college-music-student-choir-hallelujah-live-simon/79776">Hallelujah</a>, Slane directs a second live promo with support&nbsp;from The Royal Northern College Of Music Student Choir - this time for I'll Be Waiting.&nbsp;The artist performs at a piano in the confines of a Victorian swimming pool, whilst the camera glides effortlessly around him, eventually revealing the twenty-piece choir situated on the viewing platforms above.&nbsp;Filmed twice to allow for a dramatic lighting change, the video is an absorbing and atmospheric piece of work, that captures the emotion of the track and the magic of the moment in stunning detail.&nbsp;

Simon Lane directs an impressive one-take all-live promo for Cian Ducrot's version of Leonard Cohen's classic Hallelujah.&nbsp;Featuring the&nbsp;Royal Northern College Of Music Student Choir, the video sees the artist playing at a piano in an empty, disused swimming pool, as the camera circles around the space.&nbsp;The gentle camera movement contrasts against the stark location, creating a complex, textural aesthetic.&nbsp;The use of a one-take concept also feels incredibly inspired, capturing the grand atmosphere of the location and the naturalistic, intimate performances that unfold through the track.

Get ready for another action-packed Joel Corry video by Elliot Simpson -&nbsp;this time with Tom Grennan along for the ride.&nbsp;The promo for Lionheart sees Corry and Grennan blindfolded and taken to a secret location&nbsp;to compete in a military assualt course, pushed to their limits by a stern-looking set of instructors, led by Molly McCann - aka 'The Meatball'.&nbsp;Boasting plenty of cinematic setups - captured through dynamic handheld shots and slick drone footage - the video remains upbeat and fun, with an enigmatic edge.&nbsp;And boy, do those chaps look happy when they make it to the finishing line...

Simon Lane directs a second, one-take live performance for Bastille's slot on&nbsp;The Late Late Show with James Corden.Give Me The Future gets a sci-fi inspired post apocalyptic treatment set within a beautifully faded art deco theatre.&nbsp;Frontman Dan Smith traverses the enigmatic location, revealing backup singers and then the rest of the group performing&nbsp;in the main section of the venue.&nbsp;The burnt orange lighting evokes an otherworldly&nbsp;Martian vibe, and the dystopian styling elevates this aesthetic.&nbsp;

Jonjo Lowe builds on his VFX-fired work for The Big Moon and PREP with a colourful promo for pop debutante Lauren Faith.The director creates a somewhat nostalgic feel for the Falls Right Down video, with&nbsp;retro-styling, pastel purple background&nbsp;and touches of tube-TV blurriness.And Lowe's greenscreen expertise also proved useful in creating&nbsp;a five-piece band of multiple Laurens in one of the main sequences.&nbsp;But ultimately the 'real' Lauren finishes&nbsp;her performance by bumping off her clones. She's a killer queen.

Arlo Parks shares her cover of Radiohead's Creep, directed by Tom Dream&nbsp;as part of his upcoming short film&nbsp;Shy Radicals.&nbsp;The music video itself has&nbsp;an understated, meditative atmosphere, focused purely on the performance of the track. DoP&nbsp;Jack Maddison takes advantage of the plentiful natural light and abundant space in the room, choosing to move the camera in a slow and deliberate manner, to let the concept&nbsp;unfold organically.The short film, made with the support of the BFI Doc Society and Black Dog Films, is a portrait of Hamja Ahsan and the story behind his remarkable book and satirical manifesto Shy Radicals, which calls for all shy, quiet, and introverted people to unify and overthrow 'extrovert-supremacy'.&nbsp; &nbsp; Arlo's performance is an effort to continue standing in solidarity with others facing challenges with introversion. "Creep is a simultaneously delicate and brutal exploration of inner turmoil and human relationships," she says. "This song has acted as a refuge for me, during times of self-reflection and low mood, for many years and Radiohead as a band has deeply influenced my music."

New director Keane Shaw does a splendid job dramatising the beginning of a beautiful friendship between Slaves&#39; Laurie and Isaac, for Photo Opportunity.Like mini-versions of the men&nbsp;they would become, these two pre-teenage boys get together to goof about, get cool haircuts, have daft laughs, and fight the good fight against suburban boredom&nbsp;in the last days of a grey English summer.Reflecting the melancholic and mostly quiet track, it&#39;s bittersweet and nostalgic, well shot by DoP jack Maddison, and filmed in Isaac&#39;s hometown, Tunbridge Wells.&nbsp;&nbsp;
