Oh my lord. Did Ants really do that? Yes, he really did. Apparently those are all his own salsa moves.Oh yeah, and that thing where he's on the top of the plane flying through the Alps? He did that too.Incredible stuff. The next episode in a music video adventure with Tom Emmerson and London rapper AntsLive that really got going with Number One Candidate - multi-nominated at the upcoming UKMVAs23 - is jawdropping.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Samuel Bradley teams up with The 1975 for I'm In Love With You, the third video of the campaign for upcoming album Being Funny In A&nbsp;Foreign Language, created by Bradley, creative director/stylist&nbsp;Patricia Villirillo and 1975 frontman Matty Healy.&nbsp;In keeping with the previous two videos for&nbsp;the campaign, the promo is shot on 16mm film, and as with <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2022/07/12/1975-part-band-samuel-bradley/77293" target="_blank">Part Of The Band</a> establishes an attractively vintage black and white aesthetic. But this one, written by Healy, also acts as a sequel of sorts&nbsp;to&nbsp;one of the band's most memorable videos - and one of Healy's most memorable performances as a Chaplin-esque circus clown -&nbsp;in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2016/04/25/1975-change-heart-tim-mattia/40941" target="_blank">A Change Of Heart</a>, released back in 2016.[imgtoken data:1]Acting as a nod to the past -&nbsp;whilst reflecting on where the band are now, six years on -&nbsp;it's a beautifully made visual. And there is also noteworthy performance from&nbsp;Katie Collins, reprising her hero role from the A Change Of Heart video, and who also choreographed the piece.The film features everything from dancing clowns - to a special guest appearance from Phoebe Bridgers.

Léa Sen stays at home&nbsp;with her pet chameleon in Molly Burdett's soothing&nbsp;video for I Feel Like I'm Blue.&nbsp;In a series of beautifully composed scenes in a comfortable home, Sen is in a state of relaxed contemplation - accompanied by her&nbsp;chameleon named Blue.&nbsp;Within the setting&nbsp;Burdett explores&nbsp;a metaphor for changing identity and Sen engages in conversation with her future self.[imgtoken data:1]In Lea’s words: "Blue the chameleon is an extension of me. It was also a hint at the challenge of being an immigrant in London and sometimes having to (whether you’re conscious of it or not) change yourself to fit this foreign picture you’re now apart of."Sen's performance is heartfelt and understated, which matches the melancholic vibes of the track, and the desaturated colour palettes and lingering shots help&nbsp;elevate this mood.&nbsp;

Charlie Robins directs a mesmerising one-shot promo for Eliza.&nbsp;The video for Straight Talker takes place against a desolate industrial backdrop, with eerie, atmospheric cinematography and a spellbinding performance at its core.&nbsp;The progression from fluid movement to a primal, strobe-lit explosion of dance is inspired, and the camera team - especially DoP&nbsp;Jaime Ackroyd and steadicam op Beau Pritchard-James - deserve a special mention for pulling this one off as smoothly&nbsp;as they have.&nbsp;

Shan Phearon returns with an electric visual for maverick rap star and cult wordsmith Potter Payper.&nbsp; Street-futurism, big set-piece spectacles and subtext collide as introspective Potter travels a long, dark road in a glowing VW Golf flatbed truck ridden by outlaws, and performs the confessional Gangsteritus amongst mysterious, symbolic figures in the abyss of the night.Taking the texture of UV in a forward-thinking direction, Shan and his team devised and built one of the world's first UV blacklight drones for film, to achieve the striking vision. The music video is part of Apple Music's The Agenda series, pairing UK music's most important contemporary performers&nbsp;with trailblazing filmmakers.

Dave Bullivant directs a profound promo for London Grammar's America.&nbsp;The video opens with London Grammar vocalist&nbsp;Hannah Reid sat at the counter of an American-style diner, as the camera begins to pan left and right.&nbsp;The track kicks in, and apparitions of everyday activity appear in the revealing camera movements. As the haunting hustle and bustle unravel in slow motion, the focus stays on Reid's performance, creating a contrasting, stylistic aesthetic.&nbsp;Beautifully shot by DoP&nbsp;Jaime Ackroyd and produced by Joseph J. Goldman, the video is a&nbsp;tour de force&nbsp;of creativity, and a great addition to the body of work by Bullivant for London Grammar.&nbsp;

Joesef is on a mission to bury his past, in Greg Hackett's enigmatic promo for Fire.&nbsp;In the depths of a forest, we see the artist digging a hole, guided by the beams of his car headlights.&nbsp;Under a pitch black sky, the concept takes a twist when we see what is waiting to be buried in the boot, raising abstract questions and metaphors as it builds to a claustrophobic climax.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]Hackett takes a relatively simple concept and elevates it with mesmerising cinematography by Jaime Ackroyd, and a brilliant performance from Joesef.&nbsp;"Fire is about that feeling of wanting to burn all your stuff and start over," says the director. "It’s about escaping the emotional weight that places and people carry after too much has happened, but realising nothing ever really leaves you in the end anyway."
