The second in a series of videos by William Williamson for Philip Selway of Radiohead's forthcoming solo album Strange Dance continues the story begun in the first. The video for Picking Up Pieces&nbsp;features the same quartet of iconic dancers as the video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2022/12/09/philip-selway-check-signs-life-william-williamson/79675" target="_blank">Check For Signs Of Life</a>:&nbsp;Siobhan Davies, Kenneth Olumuyiwa Tharp, Liam Francis and Simone Davies - with the piece also choreographed by Liam Francis&nbsp;and Simone Davies.Once again, it is filmed as a one-shot, with cinematography by DoP&nbsp;Adric Watson, this time working with colour 16mm film.&nbsp;The video features a spinning camera movement designed to mimic motoric pulse of the track, and takes it’s gorgeous golden brown autumnal colour palette from a painting made by artist Stuart Geddes in response to Selway’s new album.[imgtoken data:1]“We all viewed this film as a continuation of the last, with the choreography having echoes of our characters worlds whilst simultaneously unfolding new elements and emotions," says Williamson."I love the idea of creating a synergy between the music and the camera movement. So we not only decided to shoot this as a one take again, but the motorik pulse of the track and the powerful lyrics perfectly lent itself to a predominant circular camera movement. "Working closely with the dancers we wanted the constantly moving camera to be always revealing different components and layers of the performance, drawing attention to specific points within each frame as it passes by and the story slowly unfolds.“

Philip Selway 'Picking Up Pieces' by William Williamson

James Theseus Buck and Luke Brooks - aka Rottingdean Bazaar - bring their innovative&nbsp;mixed media magic to Audiobooks' new promo for Lalala It’s The Good Life.Working with longtime collaborator&nbsp;Annie Collinge, they styled and photographed the band in a studio to create stills for detailed fabric prints.&nbsp;They then poke hands through, fold, wobble, and vacuum the prints against&nbsp;a variety of muted backdrops, allowing them to pop off the screen.By packing each frame with clever movements to create the impression of moving lips, guitar playing and dancing - and that's just the start of it -&nbsp;the video has instant replay value. In true Rotttingdean style, they capture the chaos and fun of the track while creating something that is distinctively them.&nbsp;Following on from their adventurous abstract fashion film Scale, their music video&nbsp;for the band Dry Cleaning, and&nbsp;pieces for Burberry, Bottega Veneta, Microsoft and Paul Smith, Rottingdean Bazaar continue to push boundaries and expand their impressive portfolio into new and exciting places.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Molly Burdett’s second collaboration with Glaswegian soul singer Joesef celebrates the freedom and energy of youth, and the infectious power of dancing like no one is watching.The video focusses upon a working class community, life in a social club, and a sense of wellbeing and confidence of a young boy within that setting, to go off to dance on his own in the indoor bowling area. And that inspires Joesef and his mates to follow his lead, and chance their arm at some impromptu dancing.Burdett dovetails the documentary look with a bit of heartstring-tugging entertainment - shot on 35mm film by Miles Ridgeway. No wonder she describes the style as "Billy Elliot meets Andrea Arnold."

Joesef 'Does It Make You Feel Good' by Molly Burdett

Joesef-'Does-It-Make-You-Feel-Good'-by-Molly-Burdett

A mini-lightshow illuminates various places across the UK, in&nbsp;Sam Davis and Tom Andrew's video for Metronomy's Whitsand Bay.&nbsp;The surreal visual follows a disco light - salvaged from an old Italian club in the '80s - filmed in various urban and natural environments across the country, from&nbsp;Tottenham to Hampshire, Suffolk and the Essex coast, to the landscapes of Pembrokeshire - and beyond.Editor Joe Walton keeps a calm and considered pace throughout, meditating on the environments and the juxtaposition of light and dark. The bursts of light are hypnotic to watch, and bring an almost alien energy to the visual - the light is unexpected and out of place, yet creates a calm, almost relaxing effect as it moves around the country.

Metronomy 'Whitsand Bay' by Sam Davis & Tom Andrew 

Metronomy--'Whitsand-Bay'-by-Sam-Davis-&amp;-Tom-Andrew-

In this director&#39;s cut of Courtney Phillips&#39;s video for Dermot Kennedy, you get the full force of an absorbing story of courage and determination, set in the heart of Havana, Cuba.It&#39;s all about a girl boxer who wants to be the best - not just among her fellow females, but against the boys too. Her motivation is utterly believable - we see her homelife, where she and her younger sister have no mother figure to defend them against a father who oozes malevolence. She needs to somehow escape.This comes with the context of Cuba itself. It has&nbsp;that unique character that makes it so good on film - and it&#39;s never looked more richly atmospheric, thanks to brilliant work by the DoP&nbsp;David Procter. But the appraoch, combining drama and&nbsp;documentary, is also revealing about the true hardship&nbsp;under which people live. Havana may be beautiful, but as Phillips&#39; excellent video shows, it&#39;s also an extremely tough place.&nbsp;
