Franklyn Banks&#39;s first music video since joining&nbsp;Gas&amp;Electric is&nbsp;a brooding, evocative&nbsp;film for Billie Marten&#39;s track Bird,&nbsp;shot over one long day in the spectacular surroundings of the&nbsp;Lake District.The video alternates between day and night shots of the same scene,&nbsp;illustrating the feeling of stasis expressed in the lyrics, &#39;&#39;caught as a bird once free.&#39;&#39;

Billie Marten 'Bird' by Franklyn Banks

Billie-Marten-'Bird-'-by-Franklyn-Banks

Francis Wallis has directed the story of the absorbing affair of an attractive young couple in Rio&nbsp;de Janiero, taking in the city&#39;s gorgeous&nbsp;locations, but also involving a&nbsp;dramatic climax &ndash; for&nbsp;Blonde&#39;s Feel Good. Working with an entirely local crew, he has done an excellent job in creating an engrossing watch that also ticks all the right pop video boxes.When a girl meets her man when he&#39;s released from&nbsp;prison, they&nbsp;catch up lost time as they visit a number of old friends in the favelas and across town. They make a lovely couple, but when the young man characteristically does a good thing, he becomes the victim of injustice - and then we can question why he was in prison in the first place.

Laurie Lynch&#39;s second video for Oscar is in stark contrast to his first for Daffodil Days, a gritty drama which Lynch discusses in the latest episode of&nbsp;<a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2015/07/20/ruthless-cuts-oscar-daffodil-days" target="_blank">Ruthless Cuts</a>.&nbsp;For the nostalgic pop of Beautiful Words he&nbsp;has delivered a straight&nbsp;performance video with Oscar Scheller performing in front of colourful and abstract film projections.The video was inspired by American visual artist James Turrell, and plays out like an experimental moving image screening, with a focus on the expressive potential of colour, pattern and&nbsp;texture.&nbsp;

Oscar 'Beautiful Words' by Laurie Lynch 

Oscar - Beautiful Words

Jon Leese-Pomfret, who recently joined&nbsp;Four Walls to head up&nbsp;the company&#39;s new Baselight colour grading suite,&nbsp;has been one of London&#39;s busiest colourists working in music video this year, grading&nbsp;promos&nbsp;for a variety of artists including&nbsp;Sigma,&nbsp;Tough Love, Gaz Coombes, and recent videos for Seafret, Kwabs and Fuse ODG - and a bunch of commercials besides.&nbsp;We thought we&#39;d get to know Jon a little better by having him answer our infamous Questionnaire...Education:&nbsp;GCSEs, college and then a degree in Digital Media Development at Brighton Uni.Previous occupations:&nbsp;Paper round, pizza shop, potwash, call centre, barman, carer, youth worker, edit assistant.Favourite music video of the past 12 months?&nbsp;I&rsquo;d say Flying Lotus,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2014/10/03/flying-lotus-ft-kendrick-lamar-never-catch-me-hiro-murai" target="_blank">Never Catch Me</a>&nbsp;by Hiro Murai or Paolo Nutini &lsquo;Iron Sky&rsquo; by Daniel Wolfe.<blockquote>Favourite video of all time?&nbsp;Used to love Dave Meyers&rsquo;&nbsp;videos for Missy Elliot.</blockquote>Favourite publications/websites:&nbsp;I seem to spend half the day on Twitter without even tweeting anything. Also, Pigeons &amp; Planes, Little White Lies, It&rsquo;s Nice That, UFC.com, and of course, Promo News.Favourite food/restaurant:&nbsp;Hands down my folks&#39; Christmas dinnerFavourite drink/drug:&nbsp;Espresso MartinisLast movie you saw (and was it any good)?&nbsp;Slow West by John Maclean - unusual Western, beautifully shot too, but not one I&rsquo;ll probably remember to be honest.Favourite directors:&nbsp;Hype Williams, Chris Cunningham, Dave Meyers, Daniel Wolfe, Spike Jonze, Michael Mann, Scorcese, Steve Mcqueen, Jacques Audiard.Last gig you went to (and was it any good)?&nbsp;Went to a concert at Southwark Cathedral - an amazing space to hear music.Favourite bands/artists:&nbsp;What, ever? I guess Radiohead, Portishead,&nbsp;The Smiths, Massive Attack.Currently reading/favourite book:&nbsp;Currently reading Out Stealing Horses by Per Petterson. Definitely recommend it.<blockquote>What would most improve your life?&nbsp;A cleaner.</blockquote>What was the first music video you worked on - and what were you doing on that job?&nbsp;Assisted on various promos back in the day. The one I remember though is Ryan Hope&rsquo;s White Light for George Michael. The one with the zebra.Favourite job of the past 12 months?&nbsp;There&rsquo;s no one particular job. Every day is different and I love the variation the role brings.What&rsquo;s the next Big Thing you&rsquo;re working on?&nbsp;We&rsquo;ve hit the ground running here at Four Walls and there&rsquo;s a number of exciting projects on the horizon.Best moment, or fondest memory, of your career thus far?&nbsp;Setting up the slick new suite at Four Walls.<blockquote>Worst moment?&nbsp;As an assistant once deleting a day&rsquo;s worth of work by one of the senior colourists.</blockquote>Biggest frustration?&nbsp;Late feedback and sign-offs!What&rsquo;s the big issue or issues facing music video makers right now?&nbsp;Standard stuff - smaller budgets and tight turnarounds.Person you most admire?&nbsp;Can&rsquo;t think of one person in particular. However, I did see a documentary recently about the Burmese Railway and one of the prisoners of war who built it is still working as an expert in Immunology at the age of 103. Pretty inspiring stuff!<blockquote>What advice would you give to someone starting out in music video production?&nbsp;Learn as much as you can. And don&rsquo;t drink too much at work parties.</blockquote>Any hot tips on who will be the future stars in music video in the next couple of years &ndash; directors or otherwise?&nbsp;Lucky to have worked with some really talented directors recently including Laurie Lynch, Greg Davenport, Craig Moore and Anthony Byrne.

Fuse&nbsp;ODG&#39;s video for his&nbsp;new single&nbsp;Only,&nbsp;directed by Craig Moore, had&nbsp;him go out to&nbsp;Johannesburg to capture some colourful African vibes in the heart of the motherland.Under Craig&#39;s guidance, the&nbsp;British musician of Ghanaian descent celebrates the flavour of what makes Africa special in the video,&nbsp;showcasing&nbsp;the buzz of Jo&#39;burg&nbsp;with its interesting characters,&nbsp;colourful textures, and wild animals &ndash; including a lion.He may be from South Africa himself, but Craig Moore&nbsp;won&#39;t forget&nbsp;the lion in&nbsp;a hurry. &quot;That lion was fierce - such a boss!&quot;

Greg Davenport&nbsp;has delivered this&nbsp;emotive&nbsp;video for Seafret&#39;s Be There, profiling a variety of relationships in considered vignettes, while&nbsp;the band deliver a tender performance of their song.It&#39;s power resides in the true-to-life feel of the video - from the&nbsp;serene&nbsp;interaction between a boy and his pet turtle, to a young couple&#39;s&nbsp;agitated fight. By giving the same importance to one interaction as the other, Davenport provides a&nbsp;broad perspective on the diverse patchwork of individual&nbsp;relationships.

With a heavy nod to that classic Hype Williams style for&nbsp;Missy Elliot and others (on a fraction of those budgets), Carly Cussen directs Brit hip-hop duo Krept &amp; Konan&nbsp;in bling and fur-coat mode, hanging with the scantily-clad ladies in a Far Eastern &#39;gentleman&#39;s club&#39;, and being thoroughly Nineties,&nbsp;for&nbsp;Freak Of The Week.&nbsp;
