Some relationships don&#39;t exactly turn out for the best, as Josh Thomas and Darcy Prendergast illustrate perfectly in this creature mini-feature for Millington.It&#39;s a simple, common tale of girl meets boy, girl falls in love, boy turns out to be a hideous parasitic creature that fuses to her, impregnates her after a drug-fuelled night and causes terrible amounts of misery and bloodshed.The video is hilarious and disgusting from the get-go and just when you think you know how it&#39;s gonna wrap-up, they serve you a gory curve ball. With some incredible prosthetics and VFX work, mixed in with strong, humourous storytelling, this video (unlike the parasite it follows) doesn&#39;t outstay its welcome.

Here&#39;s a superior sort of lyric video for Morcheeba&#39;s Gimme Your Love (from their new album Head Up High) by Steven Spencer of Nice Monster&nbsp;- featuring polygons, colours&nbsp;and, of course, words. Which required a lot of rendering at Nice Monster.&nbsp;&nbsp;

This enjoyably&nbsp;eye-popping video for Temi Dollface&#39;s Pata&nbsp;Pata&nbsp;by James Slater (otherwise known as half of directing team Good Times) was inspired by the idealized, pastel suburbia that is 1950s TV advertising.It was shot on 16mm film by DOP Carl Burke to give it an authentically grainy feel. But the retro aesthetic is dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century, by populating the period 50s interior with high energy African dancers (Temi is from Nigeria). The combination makes for nicely twisted and highly watchable offering by James.&nbsp;

Here's an ingenious one-shot video for Aussie synth-pop outfit Clubfeet's Everything You Wanted by Josh Thomas at Melbourne's VFX hub Oh Yeah Wow, which is all the more satisfying for being able to see the trick coming a mile off... 
Clubfeet singer Yves performs the song while walking down a road - towards a still image of himself, and then 'matches' the image as he reaches it. And that process is repeated ,in more complex ways and involving other band members (and ultimately, umbrellas) during the duration of the video. Not only is it a compelling effect, Josh reveals that everything in the video derived from a single take. 
"The raw footage was shot on the Red Epic at 5k resolution, all in one take, at 50 frames a second - No multiple passes were used," Josh explains. "The effect was achieved by masking out each still pose or element and then tracking it backwards in 3D until it leaves frame. Some of the still elements were manipulated and distorted to reduce the flatness when closer to camera.
"The trickiest part was the choreography of the band on the day. It was shot at twice speed, so the band were moving much faster than they seem to be. Every pose had to be timed precisely to beats in the song and it took many takes to get it right. We ended up using the last take of the day. The lead singer was getting very tired and the umbrellas kept breaking. Nine umbrellas were killed in the making of this video..." 
Thankfully, those brollies did not die in vain...

Alex combined his love for Hong Kong action films with sci-ci classics like Star Wars and The Matrix – and this succeeds in giving the boys a more mature, yet still playful image. Nice VFX work out of Nice Monster in London, and produced by the recently revamped Mrs Grey. You will believe this is just one guy...
