Jack Whiteley

Jack Whiteley returns to music videos - his first since a deliciously kooky number for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2019/04/12/aldous-harding-fixture-picture-jack-whiteley-aldous-harding/58231" target="_blank">Aldous Harding</a> earlier in the year - to undertake an surprising, sizzling makeover for erstwhile earnest indie-rockers All We Are.&nbsp;In keeping with the change&nbsp;to a&nbsp;funkier sound on their forthcoming third album, Whiteley has introduced a new element to the band's previously worthy profile - sex. But then delivers the naughty stuff&nbsp;in a charmingly tongue-in-cheek package for the album's first single L Is For Lose.It's a hot, sultry, even sweaty&nbsp;August night in Miami in about 1985 - shot in a studio, rather like a music video of the era. The band have the mock edgy attitude, like from a Pat&nbsp;Benatar video.&nbsp;But unlike the 80s, its embellished with garish&nbsp;animation that delivers&nbsp;the lyrics - created by Whitelely's regular collaborator Joe Wills - that seeps and blisters through the screen.&nbsp;It's a lurid aesthetic that's something of an acquired taste - but once acquired, you can settle back and enjoy, together with the various pleasures to be had from All We Are's change in musical direction.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

All We Are 'L Is For Lose' by Jack Whiteley

All-We-Are-'L-Is-For-Lose'-by-Jack-Whiteley

Jack Whiteley gets together with New Zealand singer-songwriter Aldous Harding for this marvellous outing of minimalist quirkiness.With a wonderful beach location - it's a secret as to exactly where, apparently&nbsp;- a striking use of colour, and a performance by Harding that gives full rein to her&nbsp;personality, she and Whiteley have created something really special for the lovely Fixture Picture.&nbsp;She certainly knows how to hold a tambourine. And how to rock a wide-brimmed hat.

Jack Whiteley and Joe Wills get together to conflate the worlds of videogaming, cosplay, and classic disco, to create something really special for Little Dragon.It all starts with a teenage girl rushing into her bedroom to get&nbsp;stuck into her favourite online video game&nbsp;- which introduces us to fantastically off-the-wall real-life cosplay characters, in a country house retrreat, and the fictional Bodins Castle, where all manner . It's there that her blue garbed, pointy chinned avatar&nbsp;meets &lt;lil dragon&gt;, and plenty more intriguing characters (with the occasional 3D figure mixed in with the real).&nbsp;They connect - and then later on the castle dancefloor.With fantastic attention to layers of detail,&nbsp;Whiteley and Wills bring brilliant costume design, makeup, VFX and choreographu&nbsp;- and make regular returns to the charming young player, to create a superbly imaginative&nbsp;soufflé for Little Dragon's Lover Chanting.Brilliant stuff, for a&nbsp;fantastic song, which is&nbsp;taken from their brand new ‘Lover Chanting’ EP which is set for release digitally on 9th November with a special 12” black vinyl release scheduled for 16th November.

Little Dragon 'Lover Chanting' by Jack Whiteley & Joe Wills

Little Dragon - Lover Chanting (Official Video)

Jack Whiteley&#39;s new video for Young Fathers presents itself initially as a recognisable sub-genre of the medium - beautifully-shot, tastefully art directed, evocative and &#39;artistic&#39;. And then it begins to strip away at the artifice.Whiteley&#39;s video for In My View is a meta-satire&nbsp;that like others of it&#39;s ilk&nbsp;works on at least a couple of levels - not least in presenting Young Fathers in a fascinating&nbsp;light. It coincides with the announcement of the band&#39;s third album, and makes you want to hear it.&nbsp;

Jack Whiteley and Laura Brownhill's winning video for Elton John's music video competition The Cut&nbsp;imagines his mid-70s classic&nbsp;Bennie and The Jets&nbsp;as a gorgeous black and white dance film inspired by classic Hollywood.With nods to Busby Berkley musicals and the work of Fritz Lang, the promo imagines a retro-futurist dance competition floating through space. With wonderful choreography, set design, costume, make-up, camerawork and editing all working in perfect synchronicity to evoke a modern twist on a distinct era, the video is a wonderful celebration of Expressionist cinema.

Jack Whiteley and Spring King are back with a hilarious sequel to their <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2016/09/05/spring-king-detroit-jack-whiteley">'Detroit' video.</a>For those who don't remember, part one of this two-part Euro-trash blind date spoof saw Penelopete pick Bartek as their date, winning a trip to (yes, you guessed it) Detroit.This video sees the couple catch up with the show's host and tell all about how the dream holiday went. It's more of the same great 90s pastiche we saw in the Detroit video, only now the characters are out in the real world. However, it's not long before the cracks start to show and it becomes painfully clear that this isn't a match made in heaven.

Jack Whiteley helps those unlucky in love in part one of a surreal Nineties style two-part dating show for Spring King.We're introduced to the characters and it's Blind Date&nbsp;as and true, hammy Eurotrash '90s pastiche,&nbsp;right down to the overly colourful sets and hideous graphics. Hopefully part two will see the winning couple's holiday recap. Who knows if they'll stay together?&nbsp;

James Canty gives a captivating performance in this one-take&nbsp;video for his song Putney Bridge, directed by Jack Whiteley, whose previous video is the acclaimed video for <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2015/01/26/staves-black-white-jack-whiteley" target="_blank">The Staves&#39; Black And White</a>.This is very different from that one, and the video&#39;s strength relies on Canty&#39;s expressive performance and the scope of emotions laid bare &ndash; enhanced by&nbsp;some classic cinema&nbsp;lighting setups to set a visual&nbsp;tone. And the video was shot in a genuine single take, in an old school hall in Liverpool...&nbsp;

In quite a change of direction for a video for folk outfit The Staves, Jack Whiteley has directed this very sharp comedy for Black &amp; White, in which an '80s Australian evening news show goes into meltdown off-camera when the lady newsreader (played by Nell Mooney) discovers, as the programme starts, that her suave co-host is cheating on her with the weathergirl.Building the tension&nbsp;between what the viewers are seeing on TV, and what's really going on in the studio - with the Stave girls appearing as onlooking crew - it's a delicious car-crash moment, beautifully&nbsp;executed&nbsp;by the crew in front of the camera, and the one behind it.

Dan Croll 'Nobody Knows' ft. The Very Best by Jack Whiteley

DAN CROLL | Nobody Knows [Director's Cut]

A truly psychedelic journey is on the cards for Liverpool's Wave Machines. Their synthy electro-pop is perfectly suited to Jack Whiteley's camera and computer experimentation with colour in abundance. Jack and his team have used a variety of different ingenious tricks to create the promo's many different visual effects. This included projection mapping, special effects programs, affected CGI and, most intuitively, playing music through thin layers of water.Here's what Jack had to say about it: "All the footage of Tim (the lead vocalist) singing the verses (where he's lit by blue and orange light) were achieved for real by having him lie on the floor and placing a glass door in front of his face with a thin layer of water on it. Speakers were then attached to the edges of the door and synth sounds of varying frequencies were passed through it to create the distortions you see on his face."The distorted texture of the water varied depending on the frequency of the sound, some created smoother ripples, others were more spikey, and it was a case of trial and error to get them to respond in time to the songs rhythm and pace."

Jack says: "Mikhael had always wanted to shoot a video in his grandparents' hometown of Ustina (Mikhael's father is Bulgarian) as he'd always been fascinated by the local gypsies who live there growing up. So we came up with a story based around the area that incorporated the local gypsy community. We then shot the video over a period of a week with a cast and crew of four plus our driver Angel (pronounced 'angle') who was Mikhael's cousin.""Nothing was organised in advance of us flying out there. We had the storyline in place and a basic shot list written down but it was really a matter of figuring out how we were going to do it once we arrived which was a little scary but ultimately very rewarding!"
