Director

Jonathan Mowatt

Continuing their longstanding collaboration with Noel Gallagher, Dan Cadan and Jonathan 'Scully' Mowatt continue where they&nbsp;left off in the previous promo&nbsp;<a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2021/05/17/noel-gallaghers-high-flying-birds-were-our-way-now-dan-cadan-jonathan-scully/70884">We're On Our Way Now&nbsp;</a>, exploring the lives&nbsp;of lovers in a nouvelle vague-flavoured London, played by Matt Smith and Gala Gordon.Flying On The Ground builds upon the enigmatic narrative of the previous video, with plenty of improvised scenes and visual nods to French-wave films A Bout De Souffle&nbsp;and&nbsp;Bande A Part.&nbsp;Whether or not viewers are familiar with the French new wave&nbsp;is less important&nbsp;than the compelling performances and suggestion of a plot combine to create something absorbing to watch. And certainly&nbsp;Noel Gallagher's cameo role in the film&nbsp;becoming more significant - particularly in the fate of the Matt Smith character.[imgtoken data:1] &nbsp;

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds 'Flying On The Ground' by Dan Cadan & Jonathan 'Scully' Mowatt

Dan Cadan and Jonathan 'Scully' Mowatt's latest video for Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds&nbsp;brings the French nouvelle vague&nbsp;to modern London, and as with previous work for Noel, features a big name cast: Matt Smith and Gala Gordon play the lovers in a story inspired directly by Godard's Breathless.The video for We're On Our Way Now provides a snapshot of the lives of the couple, where an ambivalence and darkness lurks under the surface of a true romance. The directors also leave enough to the viewer's imagination to try to piece together a bigger story.As with the Jean-Paul Belmondo character in Breathless, Matt Smith is mixed up with some shady goings-on - either working for, or possibly against Noel Gallagher, who features in a cameo as a gangland figure. Smith bring depth to the part and is ideally cast. Both he and Gordon - her second video for Gallagher - are both captured wonderfully in a timeless-looking London by Danish DoP&nbsp;Niels Reedtz Johansen.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

In their fourth collaboration with Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, Dan Cadan and Jonathan 'Scully' Mowatt deliver a richly atmospheric&nbsp;setpiece&nbsp;starring Jack O'Connell. In fact, the video for Blue Moon Rising&nbsp;feels like part of a bigger narrative - a gangster movie,&nbsp;also featuring&nbsp;Noel himself as the head of this particular family business.While Noel is in the back office, discussing serious matters with his associates, O'Connell appears as a more fun-loving guy - rather worse for wear, and lured onto the dancefloor of a deserted club by a mystery woman, played by Gala Gordon. All the while they are&nbsp;observed by another, more serious young&nbsp;man (James Nelson Joyce).&nbsp;&nbsp;It's a very cinematic scenario, with some electric chemistry between O'Connell and Gordon, well-paced to work with the track. It's also a video that does that rare thing of putting Noel Gallagher's brooding charisma to good use. By the end you want to know more about this set of characters, and the relationship between them.

After the success of their video for Black Star Dancing, Dan Cadan and Jonathan Mowatt (aka Scully) whirl us into '60s and '70s psychedelia for their next outing for Noel Gallagher.It's&nbsp;a trippy throwback, with Noel and the band give a headlining performance of This Is The Place, intercut with lo-fi graphics and old-school TV reels. A thoroughly immersive transporting&nbsp;to the colours and chords of a halcyon age...

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds 'This Is The Place' by Dan Cadan and Jonathan Mowatt

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds - This Is The Place (Official Video)

Dan Cadan and Jonathan&nbsp;Mowatt direct&nbsp;a video of pure Northern class for Black Star Dancing - the new single by Noel Gallagher&#39;s High Flying Birds, taken from the forthcoming EP of the same name - inspired by (and including footage from)&nbsp;&#39;70s British TV show, The Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club, featuring Noel and the band star as headliners.Cadan and Mowatt trawled through 32 hours worth of archives to find an authentic audience and atmosphere. It&rsquo;s seamlessly edited together, in a genius fusion of old meets new.&quot;Recreating the Wheeltappers stage was a craic, from the curtains down to the fluorescent cardboard signs advertising &lsquo;Peas on a Saucer&rsquo; for 5p,&quot; says Cadan.&nbsp;&quot;Noel and the band gave a brilliant performance on the stage which we intercut with our friends from The Wheeltappers.&rdquo; &nbsp;
