Aidan Zamiri takes an iconoclastic leap into new territory, and shows that the stuffy British legal drama is ripe for reinvention in his wonderful video for indie duo Jockstrap.The video for the band's splendid Greatest Hits takes on a familiar story throughout&nbsp;pop and rock history, when fame and success leads to in-fighting, legal wrangling, and ends up in court in a blaze of publicity.&nbsp;The genius&nbsp;of the video is how Zamiri gives this story a properly rock 'n roll treatment.Princess Julia - DJ, writer,&nbsp;"beloved mother of London’s underground" (The Gentlewoman), whose first video appearance was in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMPC8QJF6sI" target="_blank">Visage's Fade To Grey</a>&nbsp;-&nbsp;and actor John Foley are superbly cast as&nbsp;the feuding rock couple at the centre of the story, around whom a courtroom epic plays out,&nbsp;delivered through the prism of a lo-fi, trashy, surreal&nbsp;version of&nbsp;Court TV.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;As a continuous scrolling news tickertape relays details of the somewhat incomprehensible legal&nbsp;case, witnesses arrive and testify and legal&nbsp;officials of the courtroom&nbsp;mouth lyrics of the song. And the portrait by the courtroom artist bursts into full&nbsp;animation.With an unfeasibly large cast of characters and cameos - including Don Letts as a witness and Jamie xx on a legal team - this is&nbsp;a satire on fame and media frenzy that&nbsp;hits the mark without ever losing&nbsp;its sense of fun or cool.In fact, in our judgement, it's supercool.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Jockstrap 'Greatest Hits' by Aidan Zamiri

Jockstrap - ‘Greatest Hits’ (Official Video)

Aidan Zamiri directs a brilliantly offbeat promo for&nbsp;Obongjayar.Stepping into the middle of a pitch black studio, with an expectant audience watching on, we see the artist flex his muscles and nod his head to the beat, as each of his biceps reveal a set of lips.&nbsp;The surreal vision of displaced, lip-syncing&nbsp;body parts proves too much to handle for most of the audience, as they each walk off apathetically, later recalling the event and questioning what it means. But one girl falls in love, and spends the rest of the video embraced with him.&nbsp;We've come to expect a certain surreality from Zamiri, and this video amps it all the way up, whilst retaining a sense of reflective poignancy which contrasts the absurdity of the concept.&nbsp;

Luke Casey &amp; Alex Leese's third video for&nbsp;Beabadoobee&nbsp;is a breezy, hazy performance video for Sunny Day.&nbsp;Exuding late summer&nbsp;vibes and a retro aesthetic, the video sees Bea jump from her floral-inspired bedroom into a fantasy garden just outside, full of stop-motion mushrooms, eccentric flora and a guitar-playing frog.&nbsp;It's a suitably nostalgic visual for a track that sounds like it's been pulled out of 2006 (or even 1996), and Bea radiates a relaxed, understated energy throughout.

Aidan Zamiri directs a fabulous lo-fi romp for Swedish rapper Yung Lean and FKA twigs.&nbsp;The video for Bliss sees twigs waiting to be picked up for the prom by Lean - messaging him on Microsoft Excel in true <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WYHDfJDPDc">Nelly &amp; Kelly fashion</a>&nbsp;- and eventually going on a very British, very lo-fi journey through suburbia.[imgtoken data:1]There's a horse, a car with chandeliers attached to the front and a frantic older woman chauffeuring them around... and that's all in the first few moments.&nbsp;In true twigs fashion, it's off-the-wall but surprisingly fluid, and&nbsp;plays to Zamiri's Noughties fashion sensibilities. The whole video looks like it was shot on Hi8 - and it's brilliantly edited by Jack Foster and Zamiri.Most importantly, they make a great pairing of contrasting attitudes that entirely rings true for the concept: Lean is playing it cool, and managing to be almost entirely deadpan; while twigs&nbsp;is arguably at her most coquettish.&nbsp;It really is Bliss.[imgtoken data:2]

Luke Casey and Alexandra Leese direct a glossy performance promo for&nbsp;Beabadoobee.Stood in the middle of a light-up dancefloor, with a Sunburst Fender slung across her body, we see the artist perform amongst an enthusiastic crowd of friends and fans - and surrounded by a cluster of oversized red-capped mushrooms.&nbsp;The blend of slick, clean&nbsp;art direction and busy&nbsp;composition creates a lively contrast, whilst the fisheye shots and nostalgic camera effects feel like they belong in an ultimate Top Of The Pops performance from the future.&nbsp;

Ben Cole &amp; Odunsi (The Engine) direct a&nbsp;trippy promo for Half A Tab.&nbsp;Running at eight minutes in length, the short film opens with a group of friends getting ready to go out, and quickly culminates in a surreal night out full of futuristic fashion and chromatic visual effects.&nbsp;Taking place in an abstract, almost parallel world, the video has a haunting, unique vibe, and perfectly suits the Alté soundtrack.&nbsp;

LA-based creative studio&nbsp;Actual Objects&nbsp;direct a warped portrait of Sega Bodega for his new single, I Need Nothing From You.&nbsp;What starts as a close-up on the artist's face soon glitches, twitches and loses its proportions, as Bodega distorts in real time, morphing from human to something ripped straight from the uncanny valley.&nbsp;Remotely directed from LA, the understated concept lingers far beyond its runtime, unconsciously committing&nbsp;itself to memory&nbsp;ready to reappear as a nightmare somewhere down the line.&nbsp;
