Caroline Hajny directs an emotional promo for Michael Aldag's Bleak.&nbsp;Exploring mental health and relationships - both internal and external - the video places Aldag in several everyday locations, letting his emotional performance do all the talking.&nbsp;Switching from high contrast black and white to a desaturated, raw treatment, the video carries an important message, and presents it beautifully.

Tom Gorst directs an absorbing promo for Cat Burns, filmed while the singer-songwriter was on tour with Ed Sheeran.&nbsp;Reflecting on life on the road and the various highs and lows that come with extended travelling, the video for Ghosting blends intimate behind the scenes moments with spectacular performance footage.[imgtoken data:1]"To me the track is about trying to find space for yourself," says Gorst.&nbsp;"As Cat was supporting Ed Sheeran across his European tour, I wanted to explore how this idea would apply to an artist on tour."From the euphoric highs to the many in-between moments that punctuate life on the road, we aimed to create a heightened reality of Cat's experiences."

German dance producer Jonasu and Canadian pop sensation Rêve party the night away, in&nbsp;Ed Zorab's bouncy promo for All Night &amp; Every Day.&nbsp;The video takes place in a boutique hotel, where a variety of secret and sexy situations unfold behind closed doors, in the privacy of several rooms.&nbsp;Drenched in neon lighting and with a breakneck cut, it's an engaging, fresh concept with plenty of zesty energy.

Will Clark directs the second part of the Backhand double bill with indie-pop foursome Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard.&nbsp;Picking up where Clark's video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2022/01/27/buzzard-buzzard-buzzard-break-right-will-clark/74709">Break Right In</a>&nbsp;left off, we see the band's evil nemesis Mr Monadnock (played with admirable gusto by BBB's lead singer Tom Rees)&nbsp;dominated by an evil blue wig, which forces him to throw dance-shapes around the beautiful Breamore Estate.Building upon the narrative of the first video,&nbsp;it's quite a turn of events. And when the tenacious foursome decide to take back what's theirs, Monadnock seems strangely driven to chase it down.&nbsp;Bonkers, idiosyncratic fun, and a brilliant end to the double-feature.[imgtoken data:1]

Jack Thompson-Roylance directs a tender performance promo for Taloula.&nbsp;Choreographed by French icon Zack Reece, the video sees the artist joined by three dancers in a meditative studio space, as they work their way through a&nbsp;passionate, understated dance piece.&nbsp;Shot on 16mm film in a single take,&nbsp;the video has a painterly aesthetic which is elevated by the restrained, naturalistic&nbsp;colour palette. The gentle energy is achieved through delicate camera movements and a deliberate focus on the small details in the performance.&nbsp;"The making of the video was a beautifully collaborative process," says&nbsp;Jack Thompson-Roylance. "Taloula approached me with the concept of filming a dance choreography which she had developed with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/zack5938" target="_blank">infamous French choreographer Zack Reece</a>. We suggested shooting it on 16mm film and in one take to give the project a rich, honest aesthetic."We&nbsp;spent the entire shoot vigorously rehearsing the dancers, blocking and lighting queues before smashing out three consecutive takes at the end of the day, eventually landing on the second as our chosen one."It was such a beautiful atmosphere on set. There is something very magical about shooting a one take video on film, everybody is on their A-Game, creating an incredibly mindful atmosphere."

Will Clark and&nbsp;Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard continue their collaboration with Break Right In - the first half of a two-part project for tracks from the forthcoming debut album&nbsp;Bankhand Deals.&nbsp;In this video, the band land in a world where rhythm is criminal, so they set out to do something about it. Sneakily breaking into a grand estate, we see them assume disguises and switch wigs on the evil nemesis Mr Monadnock&nbsp;- who looks suspiciously like BBB's lead singer Tom Rees&nbsp;without hair -&nbsp;promising some kind of big&nbsp;payoff in the next chapter.&nbsp;Playful performances and tongue-in-cheek concepts are a trademark of Clark's work with the group, and this video takes the offbeat, fun vibes to new heights - and that's a lot to deliver, especially&nbsp;<a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2021/09/30/buzzard-buzzard-buzzard-you-will-clark/73093">when you've already turned the lead vocalist orange.&nbsp;</a>

The infamous Sunny D scandal from the 90's get a bonkers visual treatment, in Will Clark's promo for Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard's You.&nbsp;Taking us on an obscure, orange juice-fuelled fever dream, we follow vocalist Tom as he downs a tonne of the drink, getting more and more orange until... well he turns into one. Just like internet meme icon The Annoying Orange, his entire body is replaced by the fruit, with only eyes and a mouth to keep singing along.&nbsp;Interspersed with shots of a news crew interviewing the singer, and shots of the band hula-hooping the night away, it's a brilliant visual for a brilliant track.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

Elliott Arndt brings out the emotion of Laurel's angst-pop in his video for Wild Side.Whether sitting on a bed surrounded by cameras and screens, facing a pack of papparazzi, or performing in front of projected fire and sky, Laurel confronts the darker side of media exposure through a powerful&nbsp;performance, captured on 16mm by Isaac Eastgate.&nbsp;&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]It also marks the return of Deadbeat Films to the representation by Marisa Garner at MGA."We are thrilled to be back represented by MGA," say&nbsp;Deadbeat.&nbsp;"After a streak of hit videos with Marisa for the like of Shakka, Ghetts and Alesha Dixon, Deadbeat then ventured into the world of commercials.

Hot from her freshly released EP Limbo Cherry, this is an ambitious and absolutely delicious performance video, shot on dreamy 16mm by Isaac Eastgate, outfits to die for, and a very special colour grade by our old friend Joseph Bicknell of Company 3."

&#39;Karoshi&#39; -&nbsp;the term for&nbsp;&ldquo;death by overworking&rdquo; &ndash; has become a major epidemic in Japan, caused by the pressures and strain of&nbsp;living&nbsp;in a society of extreme overwork. And Boris Thompson-Roylance&#39;s video for LONO&#39;s Twerking on Mars depicts the physical and mental suffering of getting trapped in this vicious circle.With shaky camera movements, dark cold grades and striking blood red captions scrawled over the screen, the visuals were inspired by the photography of documentary filmmaker Allegra Pacheco, resulting in&nbsp;a crossbreed of documentary, music video and short film.

This performance-based video&nbsp;for The Prototypes&#39; drum and bass&nbsp;track Pop It Off&nbsp;follows four street-dwelling&nbsp;East London kids on the hunt for something which the viewer is&nbsp;unaware of.Aggressive, violent and determined, their search through derelict buildings and places of decay leads to the discovery of a mysterious gold powder that empowers them to perform the contemporary dance form known as Krump -&nbsp;a street dance characterised by free,&nbsp;exaggerated, and highly energetic movement.&nbsp;Topped off by some captivating,&nbsp;slow-motion shots of the gold powder&nbsp;working its magic, the video features&nbsp;top-notch&nbsp;camerawork which does an excellent job of capturing the&nbsp;expressive, powerful nature of the dance.
