Remy Cayuela directs a hyperstylised promo for&nbsp;Paul Woolford &amp; Pessto's reworking of the Destiny Child classic Bills, Bills, Bills.The video for Can You Pay follows the cycle of a $100 bill, through the ups and downs of day-to-day life.&nbsp;From a lucky passer-by to a stripclub to gambling tables, to a high flying exec's nose, and numerous other transactions, the money is shown in close-up as it traverses the US.It's all about the Benjamin - and then there is&nbsp;a shock finale to round things off. It's a wonderfully executed video&nbsp;for a&nbsp;fresh spin on a timeless&nbsp;track.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]"The fun thing about doing a video for the rework of a famous track is that we can come up with a total new take on things," says Cayuela. "I wanted to make something really fun and entertaining to watch but at the same time come up with a concept that would really echo the theme of the track.&nbsp;"As a storyteller, I’ve always been curious about the life of inanimate objects. Things that we pass on, over and over -&nbsp;like money - and how interesting it could be visually to follow it. It takes you to places that are so different, makes you cross path with all sorts of people, tells a really fun story."The idea here was to switch the perspective and follow a $100 bill on its journey, passing from a person to another, a scene to another and giving us a glimpse of what its story could be. I wanted the video to be centered on the bill and use the life around as a medium to make it travel. That’s why I decided to shoot it mostly with close ups and make it the hero."

Frozen moments capture an instance of unknown trauma in Isaac Ravishankara's super video for Active Child.“At its core All Eyes On You, is a devotional piece for companionship," says Active Child about the song. "A testament to one's sacrifice in the pursuit of love, even if becomes unhealthy. There’s a beauty in the submission of self to someone else in hopes of creating a pure partnership in life.”The camerawork is the star of the show in Ravishankara's take on the song, with&nbsp;long, fluid takes that feel&nbsp;like an out of body experience. The camera explores&nbsp;the space around our characters, as they are stuck in freeze-frame in different situations. The visual effects work here is seamless, and the slow unravelling of the narrative fits perfectly with the stylistic cinematography choices.Performers&nbsp;Reshma Gajjar and Larkin Poynton are both very strong, and you will struggle to take your eyes off of them as you start to hypothesise about what could be going on. It's a question that you might still be left with at the end, but this project is ripe for repeat viewings, so you have more than enough opportunity to think of your own theories.&nbsp;

Mimi Cave&#39;s dance film for Sylvan Esso is a stark and a beautiful, fluid work.With&nbsp;a stark, desaturated colour palette&nbsp;and spartan set, and strung together to appear as one continuous movement, the video begins on its side before flipping and meandering through a stunningly visceral dance performance by Gary Reagan. Around the halfway mark is where things start to develop further from the violent choreography executed by Reagan,&nbsp;as we&#39;re introduced to a frozen audience and a harshly-lit brief change of location.An incredibly physical and emotional piece of dance work that manages to depict a wild strength in vulnerability.

Dagny&rsquo;s debut track Backbeat has inspired a good-looking performance video with all the bells and whistles,&nbsp;directed by the prolific Malia James.The&nbsp;Norwegian singer dazzles the viewer, performing with a sparkle in her eye&nbsp;under the lights of a disco ball, then&nbsp;reflecting the&nbsp;blue glare from&nbsp;dozens of TV screens in a sequined outfit, and then multiplied on the screen in a&nbsp;kaleidoscopic&nbsp;effect. Its a playful promo for a&nbsp;fun, punchy song.&nbsp;

Mister Whitmore has teamed up with&nbsp;Alex Metric&nbsp;for&nbsp;the video&nbsp;Drum Machine, where&nbsp;two suave lookin&#39; renegades cruise to the&nbsp;club in a&nbsp;pimped out ride, after saluting each other with a particularly elaborate handshake. Once they get to the club though, they quickly realise that the music needs to be kicked up a knotch, managing to remedy the situation by bringing the beat back with some bombastic dance moves.&nbsp;
