Bruno Mars's sweet soul project with Anderson .Paak and Silk Sonic hits it out of the park first time out with this brilliantly slick video, co-directed by Mars and Florent Dechard.It's framed as a studio performance of the song - but it's really a choreographed performance in the manner of a vocal singing group from 60s or 70s.It also manages to have it both ways in being rather tongue-in-cheek, but also precision-tooled to make you go all fuzzy and gooey inside. The reaction of&nbsp;the girls on the other side of the glass in the studio is entirely justified.&nbsp;

Bruno Mars keeps it simple but utterly captivating for the video for That&rsquo;s What I Like, directed by Jonathan Lia and Mars: he commands the screen from start to finish, with some hand-drawn animations relating to the lyrics adding the only flourishes to the natural Mars charisma and fancy footwork.There is another element that gives Bruno&#39;s dancing a special kinetic quality. Lia filmed him performing to the audio track played at half it&#39;s normal speed - so the single take video was nearly eight minutes long.&nbsp;Then Lia played back the footage at 200% that speed to achieve a delightfully surreal effect.&nbsp;.Yes, it&#39;s the same effect as Garth Jennings used in Vampire Weekend&#39;s A Punk video all those years ago, and it turns out it also works very well with a bone fide pop showman like Mars. And, according to Jonathan Lia,&nbsp;it all came about by accident.&nbsp;&ldquo;It was originally written as a completely different concept,&quot; he says. &quot;We held a test shoot in LA, and weren&rsquo;t getting what we wanted. So we turned off all the lights except one and he just danced; it was magical and we immediately knew that was the video.&rdquo;The literal approach to the choreography allowed Lia and Mars to map out a few of the animations prior to filming, however purposely left some frames unplanned to see what would best support the visuals in post. The team at GenPop in Los Angeles expertly handled the scope of animation work.&ldquo;This was very much a true co-direction,&rdquo; says Lia. &ldquo;Bruno is one of the most humble yet invested artists I&rsquo;ve ever had the pleasure to work with. Despite his hectic schedule, he was involved every single step of the way. This video was very much a vehicle to just let Bruno be Bruno &ndash; you don&rsquo;t need anything else.&rdquo;

Jennifer Lopez sticks it to The Man - and in passing, the patriarchy&nbsp;- in her uproarious&nbsp;50&#39;s throwback video for Ain&#39;t Your Mama, directed&nbsp;by Cameron Duddy.Employing second-wave feminist movement&nbsp;character tropes, the singer plays&nbsp;the newsanchor, the housewife, the secretary and an industrial line worker -&nbsp;&nbsp;each&nbsp;of them fierce, each of them&nbsp;Mad as Hell.It all starts when newsanchor J-Lo - underappreciated and taken for granted by her partner&nbsp;- has had&nbsp;enough. On the air, she&nbsp;galvanises the masses with her slogan &#39;I ain&#39;t your mama&#39;&nbsp;and inspiring&nbsp;all the housewives and working women&nbsp;to rise up, &nbsp;give &#39;em hell,&nbsp;organise through social media&nbsp;- and dance.The result is pretty much everything her legion of fans could want from J-Lo production: a&nbsp;stomping beat, plenty of Mad Men and Working Girl costumes, and boots so high they lock into her belt!

Cameron Duddy and co-director&nbsp;Bruno Mars follow up the mammoth Uptown Funk with&nbsp;this lovely video for Mark Ronson&#39;s even-more-funky&nbsp;Feel Right, set at a high school talent show, presented by Florence Henderson (of The Brady Bunch fame).But the real star is a wickedly&nbsp;charismatic young boy who performs the song to a very tough crowd, and absolutely kills it. The win over everyone, including&nbsp;Mark Ronson, Mystikal and Bruno Mars themselves, playing the judges of the talent show, giving him the&nbsp;much deserved spread of straight&nbsp;10s. Top-notch entertainment.&nbsp;

The X Factor singer views the night's events in retrospect via her clever 'rewinding' iPhone (there's an app for that) - recalling guests in animal costumes, wild dancing, revellers jumping in the pool and all manner of drunken shenanigans...

Daughtry, the 5-piece rock band from North Carolina fronted by, ahem, American Idol finalist Chris Daughtry, team up with Christopher Sims for new single September from their second album Leave This Town. 
The polished, well-made performance promo for the rousing Nickelback-esque ballad was shot in an empty theatre (to emphasise the autumnal lyric) nicely lit and shot by DP Jessica Young.

Daughtry’s September by Christopher Sims

Daughtry’s-September-by-Christopher-Sims

Jay-Z's fifth single from The Blueprint 3 brings Sam Brown back to promos - he's now usually occupied making ads - to make a compelling, bold and beautiful take on the hip-hop video.Packed with stunning imagery, and intriguing characters, it's essentially a series of seemingly disconnected portraits and setpieces. And the video has been the subject of a huge amount of web conjecture, based around its apparently references to Freemasonry and the Illuminati.If anything this is Sam making a point of putting some of the dyed-in-the-wool conventions of the hip-hop video aside, and moving on - his take on the theme of the song.It's his best for a long time - with a brilliant edit by Amanda James.Sam Brown on making the video for Jay-Z's On To The Next One"I was very much into things that capture the music but don't exactly relate to each other. I think that's a more interesting way of working. At this stage, I'm not interested in a conventional narrative or doing a straight performance video."The imagery is quite unusual, and people have read things into it. I didn't realize that there have been all these stupid rumours of Jay-Z being in some occult sect. I had no idea."It was the sound itself that got me into the dark stuff. The song has a harsh repetitive sample, the first time I heard it I thought it was like a song going backwards - like the ones that get interpreted as demonic messages. The song sounds so oppressive and that's what I wanted - something dark, oppressive and brutal."The song is about progress, about not getting stuck doing the same thing, and hip-hop can be oddly conservative, with conventions that are very rarely broken. Jay-Z has been more openminded, looking outside hip-hop for inspiration. So the video is really about being a funeral for clichéd rap imagery."You have to destroy one thing in order to create another. Before you can bring in something new. Did Jay-Z get that Well, he gave me the brief, and I showed him a lot of images, but didn't really get to explain my thinking. He really let me get on with it."We shot at Coyote Studios in LA for two days with two cameras. No big sets or complicated lighting. The 4:3 format is a reaction to that as well. The characters don't do much and, like the clown-type guy, have a pent-up brooding presence - again, the track is like that. The fluid seeping into objects is like a whitewashing of things, before you can start again."We did get the car from Jaguar - I'm pretty new to the world of product placement. But it's the fifth video off the album and the budget was relatively tiny. And it was part of it for me: I'm going to get this and I'm going to destroy it."When you get a big opportunity like this, then why not push it a bit And people were receptive. Jay-Z loved the edit, and only really wanted one thing changed. Amanda [James at Final Cut] absolutely killed it. I told her I wanted it to be brutal and she nailed it. I didn't really want anything to happen in it - people don't do much. But what they do, Amanda captured it."
