Dynamite French duo Jonas Euvremer and François Rousselet &ndash; aka Jonas&amp;François &ndash; have never been ones to shy away from frenetic pop explosion, and this promo for the aptly named Electric Guest is no exception. The new&nbsp;Les Miserables&nbsp;not for you? Well then maybe this impressive stage-based song and dance with a 1920&prime;s theme is more up your street.A very impressive dancing performance by Electric Guest singer Asa Taccone is back up by an incredible dancing ensemble who&rsquo;s slippery antics are sure to impress.Jonas said: &ldquo;The shoot took only one day but we worked out the choreography the week before with a company of choreographers named &lsquo;I could never be a dancer&rsquo;. We had no time to adjust a scene when it was done, and each day [of rehearsals] there were two scenes made. For the tone of the video, we wanted to define it in the 1929 American great depression, and put a Kodachrome color palette on it.&rdquo;This was Jonas&amp;François last video with production company Soixan7e Quin5e before moving to Division for promos and Les Telecreateurs for ads in France and the US. They are still with Riff Raff Films in the UK.

Filmed on location in Los Angeles and Paris, we meet a succession of eccentric people expressing themselves to the full in Jonas &amp; François' promo for Labrinth's Express Yourself. 
Pop Art meets The Simpsons with a colourful and quirky effect...

For new single Always Loved A Film, Underworld team-up with directing duo Syrine &amp; Pej who unleash this '4 old skateboarders tearing up America' raucous road movie. Its a baby-boomer Cinnamon Chasers - and at least one of those old rascals is skating for real.
Syrine &amp; Pej are recent signings at El Niño - where you can also catch their video for Monomaniax' Sexy Turismo. Which is sexy.

MGMT buy a big box - which leads to all sorts of surrealism.

Mathematic in Paris were responsible for the visual effects, employing After Effects, Flame, Maya, to create the 3D transformations of the box in a mere three weeks.

An absolute treat from Jonas &amp; Francois for Audiobullys' Only Man - especially for trainer obsessives. 
Shot from underneath a sheet of plate glass onto which the band perform and all manner of shenanigans take place. And then there's the trainer-porn: custom-made trainer soles stomp the glass (and the Bullys), spelling out the song's lyrics.
There are clear echoes of J&amp;F's breakthrough Justice video here, but this time its done in live action - with added violence, graffiti, and milk. It also happens to be the second video for the Bully's Only Man, after Paul Dugdale's <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/2010/02/17/audio-bullys'-only-man-by-paul-dugdale/" target="_blank">original</a>.

For Kid Cudi's Pursuit Of Happiness, directing collective Megaforce yet again display an excellent knack for the surreal - with seamless camera trickery, apparent zero gravity and otherworldliness in what is all in all, a very imaginative promo.

Some herbal tea from Air, in Moon Safari mode, and Mrzyk &amp; Moriceau, and probably several other clever people based in Paris. 
Not brand new by any means, but a good one for those stressful moments.

We've had title sequence videos galore. Now, ingeniously, is the 'end credits' video, for the Justice's Lenny Kravitz remix by Keith Schofield. 
Which includes Keith completely nailing the whole trouble with end credits, and possibly when it all really started getting out of hand. He's created the final yards of a mid-Eighties movie, with a Michael J Fox-type lead guy in trademark puffa jacket. It's perfectly pitched - and the credits roll on and on... 
Superb. You can see the version with more 'movie' on Keith's website - and, of course, you can all have all sorts of fun namechecking...
