Broken Antenna return to music videos with this playful, technically adept video for Fatima and Joe Armin-Jones.The track&nbsp;#1, a song about a lover that’s emotionally disconnected due to past trauma, is paradoxically paired with a visual that demonstrates that love and compassion can still exist. The day to day goings-on in a&nbsp;domestic life are&nbsp;captured in a single tracking move, with its complexity highlighted by an additional layer of video squares, highlighting small details.&nbsp;It's a welcome return to music for the directing duo, whose work includes acclaimed videos for Hak Baker, Clark and Slick Don.&nbsp;

Animation maestro Chris Ullens reunites with Rex Orange County, with their first collaboration since Loving Is Easy back in 2017, to create a sweetly romantic tale for Amazing.In contrast to <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2017/11/09/rex-orange-county-ft-benny-sings-loving-easy-chris-ullens/50382" target="_blank">Loving Is Easy</a>, where he employed stop motion to animate Rex's bedroom performance with Benny Sings, Ullens opted to use hand puppets to handcraft his story about Mr Hand - a milkman of an alpine town, who milks Cow each morning before going on his delivery round.But his happy regular routine is disturbed when he meets&nbsp;a young lady (hand), falling head-over-thumbs in love..."It's really cool that [Rex] came back to us for a second one!" says Chris Ullens. "He said it was the sister song to the first one we did a video for, and that he wanted us to be back on it for that. But the schedule was mad -&nbsp;so instead of stop-motion we suggested puppeteering and he loved the idea. The schedule was still mad though, as we took four and a half weeks to deliver. But really pleased with the result!"

Dan French explores the anticipation, nerves and sheer excitement&nbsp;of a new relationship, in his promo for Navos's You And I, featuring Harlee.&nbsp;Following a guy and girl - played by Lucas Jones and Leelah Voh - who are planning to meet up at an unconventional party location, the visual treads familiar territory in the narrative,&nbsp;but executes it in a fresh and exciting way.&nbsp;Using bodyrigs, we get right up in on the action, following every smile, worried glance and relieved grin on the character's faces, before the camera dives into an untethered 360 shot of their first kiss.&nbsp;In keeping with the aesthetic, Navos and Harlee also make a cameo appearance at the party, adding a brief yet perfectly fitting performance element.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Simon Owens toys with the X and Y axes in his new video for Alexis Taylor, with the&nbsp;Hot Chip frontman&nbsp;apparently scaling&nbsp;walls&nbsp;with the biggest rope you have ever seen.Echoing the myth of Sisyphus, and employing a technique possibly last seen in the Batman TV series back in the 1960s - namely, tilting the camera 90 degrees - Alexis 'pulls' himself up different vertical structures&nbsp;and through spaces using a giant, thickly braided&nbsp;ship’s mooring rope.[imgtoken data:1]He also travels through intensely colourful doors travelling from external to internal locations and back again.As with their previous collaborations, such as <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2018/04/04/alexis-taylor-oh-baby-simon-owens/52469" target="_blank">Oh Baby</a>, Simon Owens uses irreverent, perception-challenging&nbsp;methods to present Taylor's&nbsp;serious ruminations on life in the House Of The Truth.&nbsp;It's&nbsp;that unfeasibly large rope that really gets you...[imgtoken data:2]

Alexis Taylor 'House Of The Truth' by Simon Owens

His output in music videos has been sporadic in recent years, but now two videos by Anthony Dickenson have arrived at once. The first is for the Daniel Brandt's remix of London band Friedberg's Midi 8, which creates a soaring connection to the music with an entirely minimal approach.Created entirely on a car journey in Athens with&nbsp;Friedberg lead singer Anna F, Dickenson takes an almost abstract approach to an intimate moment, capturing the singer in a series of extreme, near tactile close-ups. Rather than quick-cutting, Dickenson uses the effect of street lighting, Anna's wind-blown hair&nbsp;as the car speeds along, and camera speed-ramps to dovetail the visuals with the music.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In characteristic fashion, Anthony Dickenson has created something hypnotic yet visceral, by exploring the visual possibilities of a single set-up for all its worth.[imgtoken data:1]

Eoin Glaister captures the erstwhile ambitions of a frustrated smalltime DJ&nbsp;- played by BAFTA-winning actress Lauren Socha - in his return to music videos for Liverpool DJ-producer Mentis.Glaister&nbsp;captures the tragi-comic trials and tribulations of Kent’s premium mobile party provider, DJ Debs - played with real pathos by the superb Socha - in the video for Excuses, featuring Kate Wild.&nbsp;Her dream is to be a proper superstar DJ in Ibiza. The painful truth is that she is playing children's parties and weddings... if she's lucky.It's a classic comic storyline of the hapless wannabe, whose dreams of fame bear no resemblance to the reality. But in this case, it's made all the more poignant and funny&nbsp;due to Lauren Socha's performance&nbsp;- and by the fact her character begins to realise that she is not destined for stardom. She becomes increasingly disillusioned by her situation - but it's then when things finally start to turn around...&nbsp;Eoin Glaister has done a wonderful job with a great part for a superb actor and a down-at-heel setting that works perfectly for the narrative. Shot on 16mm, using an Arri SR3, this was achieved on what EP Hannah Bellil describes as a&nbsp;"three day escapade with a really close knit team" in the more run-down towns along the Kent coast, which allowed Socha get up to some seaside hijinks, including an 'Ibiza dream sequence' with a&nbsp;jet-ski.&nbsp;“We had so much fun making this," adds Bellil. "Lauren is an amazing talent and the opportunity for Eoin to build in dialogue with her was a total joy. However, I didn’t get to go on the jet ski, so I will be going back... to Ibiza this time.”&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

A lone choirboy in his choral gown collects fragments of electronic equipment along mudflats in Broken Antenna's poignant video for Clark's Small.The track is taken from the electronic musician and soundtrack composer's latest album&nbsp;Playground In A Lake, released on classical label Deutsche Grammaphon, and features young Nathaniel Timoney on vocals - who plays the beachcoming choirboy&nbsp;in the video.Filmed in the Thames estuary, this is a tonal departure for the directing duo&nbsp;- that's&nbsp;Myles McAuliffe and Gustav Newby&nbsp;- compared to previous videos for&nbsp;Hak Baker and others. But the result is a&nbsp;distinctive vision of a Ballardian 'Drowned World' evoked in Clark's new album,&nbsp;with a splendid&nbsp;performance&nbsp;from their young lead.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

Hannah Berry George explores growth and anxiety in her promo for Sody's Butterfly.&nbsp;Isolated in a darkened bedroom, Sody is shown stalking the four walls around her, desperate to break the cycle of fear and overwhelm that keep her contained in&nbsp;the space. The arrival of several butterflies spurs her into action, showing how&nbsp;caring for something or someone&nbsp;can help us walk out of the darkness and back into the light - especially profound in our current climate.&nbsp;Exploring metamorphosis and the ability to break&nbsp;free from our self-imposed limitations, the poignant video ends with Sody walking off-frame, ready to face the world and conquer the uncertainty that comes with modern life.&nbsp;The use of restrained camera movement&nbsp;and&nbsp;stuttered effects in the edit helps represent the cyclical nature of fear, beautifully elevated by&nbsp;Nathalie Pitters' understated yet intimate lighting.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Daniel Brereton directs an intriguing video for French artist Chevalrex, set along a forgotten railroad&nbsp;in the post-industrial North.&nbsp;The promo for Tant De Fois features&nbsp;a group&nbsp;of people that remind us of ourselves, at different points in time. We are shown portraits of the group staring wistfully into the distance, before banding together to burn an effigy of the artist, which seems to bring a certain kind of contentment to the characters.&nbsp;Chevalrex - real name&nbsp;Rémy Poncet - appears on an old TV throughout, glitching in a series of Hi8 portraits. His presence is unsettling yet comforting to the characters, building upon the enigmatic themes of the concept.&nbsp;The work is stunning in every way, and the desaturated colour palettes&nbsp;from DoP&nbsp;Simon Plunket and colourist&nbsp;Jack McGinity add&nbsp;a surreal and ever so slightly haunting edge to the aesthetic.

Band performance and dance choreography come together in a striking location in Cass Virdee's video for You Me At Six's Beautiful Way.This is an abstract story of a man breaking free from a past relationship, following his search for freedom, told through movement, and integrated with the band's&nbsp;passionate performance and clashing streaks of colour. Virdee also makes excellent use of the location - a quarry in Bury St. Edmonds, Suffolk - with swooping Steadicam&nbsp;moves&nbsp;and drone shots.&nbsp;&nbsp;

A woman deals with crippling loneliness in Anthony Dickenson's return to music videos for Australian singer-songwriter Stu Larsen.&nbsp;&nbsp;Stumbling from room to room, location to location, the main character - played by German actor Aylin Tezel - is trying to fill her time, plagued by memories of better times and an intense urge to escape.&nbsp;Strikingly human and authentic, Tezel's performance in Wide Awake And Dreaming&nbsp;focuses on the&nbsp;minutiae of everyday life, as she attempts to busy herself with small details - condensation on a window, snippets of words said between lovers - whilst suffering with an&nbsp;anxious mind.&nbsp;Doubling up as DoP as well as director, Dickenson's gentle direction and ability to create intimate scenes through the cinematography creates a perfect visual accompaniment to Larsen's&nbsp;melodic track.This is an impressive&nbsp;return to the medium by the director, who came on&nbsp;came on board after Stu Larsen had connected with Aylin Tezel&nbsp;to initiate the music video project,&nbsp;in rather unusual circumstances - as Dickenson explains below.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Raine Allen-Miller certainly does, and she has written, performed and made a video for a song to celebrate&nbsp;that fact.Allen-Miller has recruited the help of women from across the globe - including&nbsp;Seoul, New South Wales, Tiblisi, New York and Los Angeles - to help her make her own distinctive quarantine film called Wank Wiggle, dedicated&nbsp;to female pleasure and encouraging women to get to know their anatomy during lockdown.She remotely directed her cast through a series of Zoom shoots - and Allen-Miller also stars in the film, singing her own catchy lyrics to the Wank Wiggle tune:&nbsp;"...could be a dildo,&nbsp;could be a love-stick, could be a vibrator, or just simply an index finger;&nbsp;It could be a washing machine,&nbsp;It could be a shower head,&nbsp;It could be a teddy bear,&nbsp;A toothbrush (the spare),&nbsp;A toothpick...&nbsp;OUCH!"All together now...

Little Mix are brought to life in a stop-motion fuzzy-felt wonderland,&nbsp;in Zac Ella's 80s-tinged video for Break Up Song.&nbsp;After being forced to pull the plug on the live action version of the video the night before the shoot - due to the looming lockdown- Zac wasn't quite ready to give up on the concept just yet.&nbsp;And thank God he didn't. The ensuing video is a testament to creativity and ingenuity, featuring bold, vibrant animation - delivered in stop-frame fuzzy-felt animation&nbsp;- and some of the best self-filmed performances from the lockdown so far.&nbsp;Felt animator&nbsp;Lawrence Becker gives the project a unique flair, diving head-first into challenging transitions and movements, whilst ensuring to keep things&nbsp;glossy and pop. The animated lipsync of Felt Mix is frankly astonishing.Meanwhile, Zac couldn't help but visit the set for the live action shoot - which was all prepared and ready to go - where he sent <a href="https://vimeo.com/398490454" target="_blank">this short message</a>...&nbsp;&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

BBC Sound of 2020 winner Celeste joins a brass band on the streets of New Orleans, in Leonn Ward's video for Stop This Flame.&nbsp;A variety of setups showcase a diverse cast, including all-female military dance troupe Diamond Girls and brass band To Be Continued, as the upbeat track is channeled and reinterpreted into their own creative expressions. Each vignette offers an overarching theme and meaning- the band represent&nbsp;unity and strength, for example, and the youth represent a cautious optimism for the future.Blending these themes with an authentic and vibrant aesthetic, DP&nbsp;Todd Martin captures an energy and poignancy in the concept, bolstered by strong performances from everyone on-screen. Artistic expression and community have always been symbiotic, and this video celebrates the very best of our humanity and creativity.&nbsp;
