Rich Hall puts indie band Elephant Kind on an intergalactic tube train chockful of aliens - in his superb video for Love As.The production team at Riff Raff&nbsp;says: "Possibly the most extreme recce we’ve done in a while, was to the Moon and back. Rich Hall wanted to set Elephant Kind’s video there, so we popped over to get the vibe. But the train on the way back to Earth was just so packed with characters, it was like a casting director’s hallway. So Rich said f*** it, let’s just shoot it now."The DOP decided zero-gravity worked in favour of a spinning train carriage shot, and the producer agreed to pay travel expenses for being outside the M25, only because they’d save on camera kit by using alien drool to a dolly effect."So the band warmed up, and busted out their single ‘Love As’. And that’s how we got a video for an indie band about intergalactic space train love.*"*actual sequence of events may have differed."[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2][imgtoken data:3][imgtoken data:4]

Willliam Williamson has directed a mesmerizing one-take video, capturing a marvellous quartet of dance talent for Philip Selway.The video for Check For Signs Of Life, the first release from Strange Dance, the forthcoming solo album from Selway&nbsp;- best known as the drummer for Radiohead - features four&nbsp;renowned and award-winning dancers and choreographers: Siobhan Davies, Kenneth Olumuyiwa Tharp, Simone Damberg Würtz and Liam Francis.Produced by Uncommon Creative Studio, with black and white cinematography by Adric Watson, the idea behind the video came from the artist, who has envisaged a series of dance videos to accompany several tracks from the new album. Selway wanted this piece to explore imagined conversations between future and past selves, and to be based around this particular quartet of dancers.In the video, the camera takes the role of a fifth dancer with Steadicam operator Jake Whitehouse executing that highly demanding&nbsp;role. As William Williamson explains, it was an approach that emerged out of rehearsals with the dancers.&nbsp;“Working closely alongside Philip and choreographers Simone and Liam we set out to explore the complex relationship between future and former self through the medium of contemporary dance," he says. "Transcending time and moving through varied emotions, we wanted to create a film that will inspire the audience to hang their own narrative on."As we rehearsed, the intimacy and fragility of the choreography became so clear I decided to shoot it all in a single take. It meant pulling together the dance, camera and lighting, to communicate a sense of unity and power, which stays focused in the moment.”

Claire Arnold's latest video for Ashnikko&nbsp;depicts Ash in three paradisiacal settings while they perform to camera.“I wrote this song pre-pandemic when I was on vacation," Ashnikko has said about&nbsp;Panic Attacks In Paradise. "I had been working really hard, just going going going... When I actually stopped to be with myself and be still, I didn’t know what to do. I was having really horrible mental health problems and I ruined my vacation for myself; so I quite literally had a panic attack in paradise.”

Brock Neal Roberts directs a visual essay on family and music for Berwyn's Vega.The film explores&nbsp;the depth of who Berwyn is,&nbsp;and features all of the tracks contained in Berwyn's debut EP&nbsp; Demotapes - whilst also exploring his self-affiliation with the Vega star system.Effortlessly poignant and reflective, the documentary-style structure and touching vignettes build an engaging&nbsp;narrative of Berwyn's life story so far. When contrasted with&nbsp;images of the inconceivably vast universe around us, it also reminds viewers&nbsp;how important our individual stories are, and how they build the fabric of the world we inhabit.&nbsp;

Too hot, as a matter of fact...Leading to an explosive finale, the promo is&nbsp;a masterclass in contemporary aesthetics, infusing polished cinematography with a hint of nostalgia, hard-hitting choreography and a huge dose&nbsp;of fun.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

New pop hope Griff turns in a splendid live performance of Black Hole in Thomas Ralph's film shot at the newly restored Hackney Church. In the process it&nbsp;shifts from infinite darkness to space and light, and then back and forth between day and night.Griff is initially seen against total blackness - actually a&nbsp;black infinity wall that&nbsp;is revealed as such when the camera moves outwards to reveal the location and the teenage singer's fellow musicians. Then the church is revealed and a sense of space and light streaming from a giant stained glass window is a real mood-lifter.Most importantly of all, Griff reveals herself as a genuinely exciting talent with a great version of this excellent song.[imgtoken data:1]

Danish director Nina Holmgren has created a gorgeous showcase for the rising singer Justine Skye, that's also a knowing commentary on our obsessive relationship with screen technology - and features some notable members of Skye's celebrity fanbase.In the video for Intruded - which is bookended by two other tracks from her debut album Space &amp; Time - Skye is the glamorous figure in various scenarios that riff upon corporatism, surveillance culture, outmoded yet classic technology and voyeurism.Whether she's surrounded by rows of CCTV cameras, or banks of TVs and DV cams, Skye is the cool, self-possessed, high-fashioned presence in a&nbsp;range of visceral textures, from vinyl to leather to silk.[imgtoken data:1]The cameras carry multiple images of the singer from the range of cameras, and also of the notable others - Timbaland, who produced her album, Lil Yachty and Bella Hadid, the latter uttering random phrases.Holmgren was influenced by the pioneering video artist Naim June Paik, with at least one explicit nod to his screen-based artworks. And this is something of a work of art in itself. A wonderfully crafted work by a director with a forceful eye.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Filmed for an episode of&nbsp;The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon in late January, Samuel Taylor captures this riveting performance by Fontaines D.C., performing the title track of the Grammy-nominated A Hero's Death&nbsp;in the Auld Shillelagh pub in Stoke Newington, London.In Sam Taylor's words it's "one of the thinnest pubs in London town", which DoP Eira Wyn Jones has lit beautifully, colour-coding different parts of the room.&nbsp;Kudos to Steadicam op Jake Whitehouse too, for negotiating this tricky space - moving up and down the length of the pub through the band and Guinness-supping regulars - to capture&nbsp;the live version in one hypnotic take.Unfortunately, it's the closest to the inside of a pub that you will get this weekend. Cheers anyway.

Fontaines D.C. 'A Hero's Death' (Live) by Samuel Taylor

Fontaines-D.c.-'A-Hero's-Death'-by-Samuel-Taylor

Bring Me The Horizon frontman Oli Sykes once more takes up directing duties on the band's latest release, to impressive effect.For the video for Teardrops&nbsp;– taken from their new EP Post Human: Survival Horror&nbsp;-&nbsp;Sykes draws on his personal relationship with depression channelling it into the visual representation of him drowning.This&nbsp;involved him spending a full day filming in an underwater tank, and this is juxtaposed with Sykes' lonely bedsit world, a combination of the mundane and highly symbolic. It's a horror, where the Sykes's saviours turn out to be his fellow bandmembers.&nbsp;&nbsp;“It is my favourite song off the record," says Sykes.&nbsp;"I’m so excited to get this single out, it feels like a classic Bring Me The Horizon tune but without it feeling like anything we’ve done before. I feel like Teardrops is some of the best work we’ve ever done, musically and lyrically as whole.”• Watch the BTS Making of the video <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5qeIiMoOBc" target="_blank">here</a>
