A man (Michael Sheen) and his futile efforts to make toast.Kasper Häggström has a brillant central concept in his latest video for Kelly Lee Owens: a moment when something that we can always rely upon happening, does not happen. Fortunately, he has one of the greatest&nbsp;screen actors&nbsp;to bring this concept to life.&nbsp;This is the third collaboration between Welsh DJ producer Kelly Lee Owens and the Norwegian director. The previous two have been marvellous (and include a UKMVA winner), but the combination of Häggström, Owens and another Welsh legend John Cale on Corner Of My Sky, and the brilliant Michael Sheen takes&nbsp;this to the next level of surreal joy.&nbsp;

Little Mix set off to Mars for some virtual R&amp;R,&nbsp;in Sophia Ray's video for Holiday.&nbsp;Heavily inspired by fantasy and surrealism, we see the girls perform in a series of computer generated environments, switching their look from real-life mermaids to giant goddesses on a space beach.Combining a VFX-heavy concept with a more commercial pop vibe, the video remains pure Little Mix - confident and sassy&nbsp;with an overarching sense of fun.&nbsp;Brendan Bennett's magical VFX work contributes to the overall aesthetic, adding a kaleidoscope of colour and textures to complement the dynamic performances.&nbsp;

Dave Bullivant, aka Bison,&nbsp;makes a haunting and peculiar greyscale video for Stevie Parker.Created using 3D mapping, but not building the base layer, the video is an ethereal performance from Parker where depth is implied through the fuzzy shadows that surround her. With one multicoloured&nbsp;character sprinting through the otherwise desaturated world, there&#39;s a sense of being followed or hunted (in line with the song&#39;s title), making for a tense edge to the blurred serenity of the clip&#39;s aesthetic.

Joshua Osborne's promo for Chase and Status is a moving and intimate portrait of a young traveller and his family.Osborne and the video's protagonist Gary Hearne first met in 2014 in a South London boxing gym, and Hearne and his family subsequently became part of a documentary series about modern culture in the traveling community. Three years on, with Hearne now 19 and starting a family of his own, sees Osborne revisit him in this documentary portrait film. Hearne cuddles with his newborn, boxes at the gym and hangs out with friends.He's candid and unguarded which combined with the beautifully composed, slow-moving camera movements adds an element of hyperrealism to the clip. It's a moving and rare portrait of an overlooked and often vilified community.

Raine Allen-Miller uses the motifs of classical religious painting and gives them a contemporary relevance in her video for Denai Moore.As the camera moves out from Denai&#39;s face, she is revealed as the&nbsp;central figure in a tableaux featuring characters each representing different aspects of the human condition. The symbolic nature of these characters is reinforced by bursts of animation and finally,the arrival of balloon sharks floating above the scene.

London indie rock outfit Little Cub have released this resonant and melancholic video by Lily Rose Thomas, offering up a&nbsp;glimpse into the life of a Londoner&nbsp;in her mid-twenties.&nbsp;It&#39;s&nbsp;a mature, beautifully shot portrait of London&#39;s twenty-something&nbsp;generation, an often vacuous and isolating&nbsp;experience where joy is chased through booze and drugs, kinship&nbsp;is fleeting&nbsp;and the&nbsp;disconnect between the expectation of&nbsp;what adulthood&nbsp;would be and the reality of it&nbsp;leads to a&nbsp;depressing&nbsp;dissonance.&nbsp;Post-industrial South London provides an excellent backdrop for this lonely urban tale, which we see repeating itself the next day in&nbsp;a&nbsp;continuum of unsatisfied&nbsp;emotional needs and occasionally hopeful text messages.

Ozzie Pullin&#39;s House Work video takes the household products advert format to a whole new level of strange.In the dystopian future we&#39;re currently living in -&nbsp;a world in which Cillit Bang have gotten rid of Barry Scott and replaced him with a younger, sexier model &ndash; it can feel like there&#39;s little hope to cling onto. That&#39;s where Jax Jones and Ozzie Pullin come in.This brilliant clip is a surreal descent into the madness of a man trying to hold it together to sell some dish soap. The set is perfectly familiar to viewers of daytime TV as,&nbsp;probably, is the cold, dead, thousand-yard stare of the protagonist.&nbsp;

Between going to the shop, buying food, getting her hair done and force-feeding tea and biscuits to her tied-up neighbour, it&#39;s an active and eventful day&nbsp;in the life of a&nbsp;middle-aged dominatrix for&nbsp;Tom Beard&#39;s humorous new&nbsp;promo&nbsp;for&nbsp;Jamie T&#39;s track Power Over Men.And it&#39;s a recognisably Tom Beard production too, sharing the same seedy darkness and lo-fi look as his previous, unsettling&nbsp;collaboration with Jamie T for <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2016/07/13/jamie-t-tinfoil-boy-tom-beard" target="_blank">Tinfoil Boy</a>.

Jamie T 'Power Over Men' by Tom Beard

Jamie T - Power Over Men

Tom Beard&#39;s video for Jamie T - his first for the London artist, having worked with him on several other kinds of visual projects previously&nbsp;&ndash;&nbsp;is disturbing and compelling, even though not that much happens. As a teenage girl starts her day, she preens in front of her cameraphone - and from that point everything she does, as she meets up with a boy and they set off on a day out,&nbsp;is caught on that camera.&nbsp;The relentlessness of the track - and lo-fi performance footage of Jamie T and band is cut into the narrative&nbsp;&ndash;&nbsp;encourages&nbsp;a sense of unease that works on at least a couple of levels. Quite apart from the threat of something bad about to break the&nbsp;mundanity in the video, it&#39;s that constant&nbsp;self-documentation - and the distancing effect it creates &ndash;&nbsp;that really strikes a chord. It&#39;s not what might happen, because&nbsp;it already has.&nbsp;

After their excellent videos for the likes of LarzRanda and <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2015/09/10/sheep-dog-wolf-breathe-thunderlips" target="_blank">Sheep, Dog &amp; Wolf</a>&nbsp;in New Zealand,&nbsp;Auckland-based directing duo&nbsp;Jordan Dodson&nbsp;and Sean Wallace - aka THUNDERLIPS &ndash; make an impressive first British video for the returning Two Door Cinema Club. It&nbsp;is&nbsp;a thing of grotesque, slightly&nbsp;bewildering beauty.In the the video for Are We Ready? (Wreck) video, the&nbsp;three members of&nbsp;TDCC&nbsp;are all noxiously cheesy spokesmen&nbsp;for a series of terrible ads for&nbsp;brands with names corresponding to the song&#39;s lyrics.&nbsp;Two of them have been luridly&nbsp;transformed,&nbsp;by Melissa Lackersteen&#39;s makeup job,&nbsp;into puffy-faced, surgery-enhanced&nbsp;versions of themselves. But there&#39;s a battle going on between this artificiality and reality underneath, expressed through lead singer Alex Trimble&#39;s angst and&nbsp;slowly disintegrating face.It&#39;s visually arresting and&nbsp;audacious, and after a couple of views (maybe trying to figure it out what&#39;s going on), another catchy TDCC song will be stuck in your brain.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Ozzie Pullin has directed this thoroughly&nbsp;enchanting&nbsp;video for&nbsp;Tourist -&nbsp;aka London-based electronic music producer Will Phillips - which sees a couple running to find each other through a sprawling forest,&nbsp;and meeting out in the open&nbsp;countryside.The video takes human attraction and gives&nbsp;it a powerful&nbsp;esoteric quality as&nbsp;the two individuals - who are&nbsp;separated by quite a distance -&nbsp;suddenly&nbsp;hear each others&#39; presence&nbsp;as a siren call. And once they&#39;ve&nbsp;set&nbsp;off running to find each other, they strip off their clothes, coming together as&nbsp;their most authentic&nbsp;and&nbsp;vulnerable selves.

Tourist 'Run' by Ozzie Pullin

It&#39;s been a few years since their last collaboration for <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2012/05/24/jake-bugg-lightning-bolt-michael-holyk" target="_blank">Lighting Bolt</a>, but&nbsp;Jake Bugg has paired up again with Michael Holyk for his&nbsp;new single&nbsp;Gimme The Love.&nbsp;And it&#39;s an aggressive&nbsp;proposition, with the singer&nbsp;in a large warehouse,&nbsp;surrounded by the menacing buzz of impending brawls about to break&nbsp;out all around him.Bugg&nbsp;stares&nbsp;down the camera,&nbsp;delivering&nbsp;his performance amid&nbsp;flaring strobes and disorientating cuts to various&nbsp;confrontational&nbsp;scenes, channelling a tone of extreme tension and incipient violence&nbsp;- which appears to be in direct contrast to the intent of the lyrics.&nbsp;The singer has commented that&nbsp;he welcomed working with fellow Nottingham native&nbsp;Holyk again, and being more involved in the creative process than on his previous videos. &quot;We came up with the treatment together, which was cool because I was so sick of turning up to video shoots with no idea with what I was doing and having people write ridiculous scripts,&quot; says Bugg. &quot;I feel videos can put an interpretation in people&rsquo;s minds of what the song is about, so with that in mind I wanted a video that left the lyrics open to interpretation.&quot;&nbsp;
