Directing duo Sophie Diess and Jean-Christophe Saurel &ndash; aka Soandsau &ndash; have directed a marvellous, darkly comic video for She Burns by Hot Chip&#39;s Joe Goddard with Mara Carlyle on vocals.&nbsp;A man and a woman enter a room to attend to Mara, and as she begins to sing about regrettable recent events, her predicament is soon clear: she&#39;s dead. Injected with embalming fluid by the morticians, different parts of her body briefly spring to life.Filmed over a day in a flat in Peckham in London for what executive producer Russell McLean calls &quot;definitely a passion project where everyone was onboard because they wanted to be.&quot; Produced by Kim Strobl (also 1st AD), and photographed by Olivier Cariou, the grade was by Julien Baird at Finish - and this was also a rare outing in music videos for editor Paul Hardcastle.Sophie and Jean-Christophe previously worked with Mara on her video for I Blame You Not, and were pleased to get the chance to work with her again. &quot;We were asked to come up for an idea to fit the track. We liked the idea of there being frozen moments throughout, that although she is dead there are bits of her that are still alive. As she gets embalmed more of her comes to life on the screen.&quot;Jean Christophe adds: &quot;We&rsquo;re really pleased with the ambience that the promo creates. &nbsp;We put a lot of thought into how best to symbolise the world of death in a way that complimented the track and remained visually interesting. &nbsp;This was done with the help of our brilliant cast of Tom and Janet and of course the talented team of production and post crew we had on board.&quot;Sophie says: &quot;Working with Mara is an absolute pleasure. We have the upmost respect and admiration for her and her input throughout the shoot was always very positive. She is a great talent and brings with it great sensitivity.&quot;&nbsp;

Twin sisters Miller&rsquo;s Daughter (aka Louise and Christie Miller) join forces with John Turner for this charming promo to Since You Left.
Shot on a freezing day in Dungeness on the Kent coast, John takes advantage of the evocative setting shooting the Wiltshire duo performing at the beach, round a camp fire and by a disused railway track.

Cristiana Miranda's very sensual video for Eddi Front's Gigantic was shot on black &amp; white Kodak S16mm film stock at different frame rates (between 6fps and 50fps) to create an other-worldly presence of the singer. 
Shot in London at The Asylum and along the beautiful Cornish coastline, it was cut at Work Post, then scanned and graded at MPC. Beautiful - and in its own way, pretty damn sexy...
"I accidentally heard this track playing in the office and i instantly felt i had to work with Eddi," explains Cristiana. "I was so inspired by the lyrics and her voice, I felt there was something very raw, tragic, a very deep pain that is so palpable. But there is absolute beauty in this melancholic state. I wanted to shoot a music video that just made those emotions more palpable and that respected Eddi's identity and her taste. 
"We didn't really have a budget so it had to be a chance for all of us to just shoot something simple - that's why I was so determined to shoot in 16mm black and white. My main inspiration as a theme was wind - shaking wind that sweeps and shapes things as it passes by. But we wanted to shoot in an interior to make it more abstract. 
"We found this amazing location, 'the asylum', that just had the most amazing textures and an immediate feel of decomposition. I then went on my own with DOP Richard Stewart to Cornwall and shot elements of nature. Again I was in search of wind and the sense of a storm. But everything was still. There was absolutely no wind in Cornwall, which ended up being an interesting exercise because we then had to focus on finding other elements in nature that could convey a subtle feeling of discomfort and menace."

Smells like teen spirit, for help the aged, with ping pong playing nurses... Chris Curtis directs his second video for office rockers The Winter Olympics' I Prefer The Early Stuff.
Shot between the Windmill in Brixton and a catholic boys school in Harlesden, it's a bit like a cross between a Van Halen video and a Carry On movie...
