Grammy-nominated director Paul Dugdale, best known for his brilliant work in live concert filmmaking, steps into music videos to herald the return of Liam Gallagher, performing with his live band on the roof of the iconic Midland Hotel in Manchester.Dugdale's video emphasises the optimism&nbsp;of Better Days by adding&nbsp;visual effects, layered into the skyline behind the band,&nbsp;elevating that&nbsp;sense of optimism within the lyrics and creating a feeling of psychedelic euphoria.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;It also&nbsp;taps into Gallagher's love of all things Beatles-related, from the track itself referencing the Fab Four's&nbsp;groundbreaking Tomorrow Never Knows, while the video is almost certainly&nbsp;tipping&nbsp;a hat to The Beatles' final live performance,&nbsp;on the roof of their Savile Row&nbsp;building - filmed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg in 1969, recently restored by Peter Jackson for his remarkable documentary&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles:_Get_Back" target="_blank">Get Back</a>.&nbsp;The uplifting&nbsp;track is the latest release from&nbsp;Gallagher’s upcoming third solo album,&nbsp;C’mon You Know, to be released next month.&nbsp;All UK proceeds from Better Days will be donated to War Child for the rest of this year.

Paul Dugdale&nbsp;directs an exhilarating promo for Coldplay's People Of The Pride, from latest album&nbsp;Music Of The Spheres, based upon the band's live show&nbsp;at&nbsp;the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle last year.&nbsp;The video jumps between the high-octane live footage from the group's performance in Seattle, and an animated dystopian tale about an oppressed population rising up against an enigmatic overlord.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;The use of glitchy effects and textures helps seamlessly bond the two distinct setups, and the retrofuturistic anime-inspired aesthetic gives the concept a universal, timeless feel.&nbsp;With revolution in its step, the video explores political tensions and the power of rising up against tyrannical establishments, in a visually spectacular package.&nbsp;

Joshua Osborne directs the new music documentary for Tom Misch and Yussef Dayes' debut album What Kinda Music.Switching between conceptual performance setups and behind the scenes, fly-on-the-wall filming, the visual delves into the background of production and collaboration, as well as the artists' respective journeys and influences. Punctuated by shifts in tone and pace, the documentary is intimate and informative as well as being brilliantly entertaining.&nbsp;Shot on 35mm, DoP&nbsp;James Rhodes reflects the concept&nbsp;with a dreamy and relaxed aesthetic, elevated by slow and steady camerawork, often acting as spectator in the background whilst the creative process unravels on screen.&nbsp;

Alexandra Green's video for&nbsp;French musician and producer Oklou is simple, cool, and exquisitely effective.Oklou, dressed in red, sits among black rocks in a blacked-out space, an otherworldly studio set. She performs her Mura Masa-produced song Entertnmnt to camera, as it rotates around her. That's it, more or less.&nbsp;But the contact between her eye and the camera, as it executes a parabola - moving away and then getting closer again as it circles around her&nbsp;- is transfixing.James Rhodes' camerawork is executed so that Oklou is always the centre of attention, while the set -&nbsp;an arrangement of rockery by art director Afra Zamara - is quite&nbsp;intriguing in itself.Overall this is a great example of director and choreographer Ally Green relying on the movement of the camera rather than the subject to grab the viewer's attention.&nbsp;

New Black Dog Films signing India Sleem directs emerging North London singer-songwriter Mae Muller in her Kentish Town and Camden Town &#39;ends&#39; for Anticlimax.Mae goes for a walk, meeting the locals and her friends - captured on 16mm - while she drops a massive put-down of an ex, within a sweet and catchy melody. A Lily Allen for a new generation, perhaps?&nbsp;&ldquo;Anticlimax is a feel-good song about a not so good situation,&rdquo; said Mae. &ldquo;I wanted to capture that feeling of disappointment when you&rsquo;ve liked someone for ages and then you finally end up giving it a go and it&rsquo;s nothing like what you thought it would be.&rdquo;&nbsp;

Gemma Yin Taylor brings her mixed media animation approach to Django Django with very pleasing results.She takes DD&#39;s frontman Vincent Neff into a dimension bubbling with sea life, using a combination of pixellated live action of neff, cutouts and her own line drawings and other illustrations. A stop motion with a light post-Warholian aesthetic.

Raja Virdi expands&nbsp;from his signature live performance promo style with this ambitious production for Dimension, shot in Peterborough Cathedral.Dark narrative elements accompany a performance by the electronic artist in the remarkable space, shot in black and white to fit in with Dimension&#39;s trademark monochromatic visual style.But there&#39;s also a rave-like energy to the piece, courtesy of a lighting rig&nbsp;of nearly 50 lights/strobes and a huge arena laser, designed by LD Thomas Mason-Smith.&nbsp;And a heavy lift drone carrying an Alexa Mini&nbsp;and Kowa Anamorphics captures&nbsp;the&nbsp;full scale of the location.&nbsp;
