Broken Antenna return to East London,&nbsp;with a vivid celebration of&nbsp;community and culture for drum &amp; bass&nbsp;mainstay Turno, featuring&nbsp;grime scene heavyweights&nbsp;D Double E and&nbsp;Morrisson and&nbsp;up-and-coming singer&nbsp;Catching Cairo.Following their UKMVA-nominated video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2024/03/07/joe-armon-jones-hak-baker-wrong-side-town-broken-antenna/85549" target="_blank">Joe Armon-Jones and Hak Baker's Wrong Side Of Town</a>, the directing duo - Myles McAullife and Gustav Newby - create a whirlwind portrait of urban life for Brick Lane, Turno's high-energy ode to East London.It's a&nbsp;breathless ride through the eponymous street, based around the famous 24 hour bagel shops,&nbsp;and, further east, Newham's Queen's Market. Broken Antenna capture the essence of the capital’s vibrant culture, with mini-vignettes, fluid camerawork and incisive editing. And throughout, the guest artists ground the action,&nbsp;acting as our guides via&nbsp;their charismatic performances."First and foremost, the tune is really about community and togetherness," says Turno. "With the video we definitely wanted to capture the real East London and highlight all the different communities and cultures that make London the city it is."I want it to represent people supporting each other. We’re all out here trying to win in life, and the people around you make you.”[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]&nbsp;[imgtoken data:3]

Directing duo Broken Antenna's latest video for Hak Baker - their eighth - returns to&nbsp;Hak's home turf in London's East End once more. But after the critically acclaimed doc-style video&nbsp;for&nbsp;Wrong Side of the Street, for Hak's collab with Joe Armon Jones,&nbsp;they now swerve into gritty drama.The video for LUVLY features rising star Hero Fiennes Tiffin (The Woman King, After We Fall)&nbsp;and brings to life&nbsp;Hak’s own story, growing up&nbsp;on the Isle of Dogs. The song&nbsp;paints a portrait of a man who cannot receive the love from the woman who loves him - and poignantly, can’t love himself.That's visualised by Broken Antenna - Myles McAuliffe and Gustav Newby - in a whirlwind allegorical tale of a young man (played by Fiennes Tiffin), who on release from prison, quickly falls into his old ways - he falls foul of the local hood, played by&nbsp;Geoff Bell (The Business) - and the effect it has on the relationship with his devoted girlfriend.&nbsp;Through it's breathless narrative style, characterised by the fluid cinematography by Ahmet Husseyin, the ensemble cast and relentless pace forced by the cut by Ben Boullier, Broken Antenna build a full picture of the young man's nefarious situation. But similarly to the likes of Goodfellas&nbsp; - almost certainly&nbsp;an influence -&nbsp;this is not just about the gangsters' shady world. And when the real blow falls, it's not from a 'bad guy',&nbsp;and Hero doesn't see it coming.&nbsp;It's more evidence of a relationship, between Baker and Broken Antenna,&nbsp;that has been the one of the most creatively fruitful of the past few years.&nbsp;

Having already made a big impression at last year's UK Music Video Awards, Maceo Frost's superb video for Zigidi, the lead single from his own musical project with Robin Naziri, finally reaches a wider audience. And it really deserves to be seen.&nbsp;Kurdish/Swedish artist/actor Naziri and director/music producer Frost are collaborating as BIJI, acting as a lens into Kurdish culture through a blend of Kurdish and Western Asian music traditions with other influences, particularly hip hop. It's an audio-visual project which saw the pair travel to the Kurdistan region of Iraq&nbsp;last year to create the pulsating video for Zigidi.[imgtoken data:1]It's a great mix of high-octane, petrolhead-friendly&nbsp;action and social documentary, as Naziri embarks on an improbable mission to deliver the prized BMW of a local boss through the desert 'without a scratch', while recalling flashbacks of conversations with&nbsp;the high elders.&nbsp;Featuring some&nbsp;brilliant stunt driving by Rozh mohammed Al-sheikhani, Maceo Frost handles the combination of action footage and dramatic interludes&nbsp;with great flair&nbsp;and just makes you want to watch it again - and learn more about this fascinating project. Great stuff.

Directing duo Broken Antenna reunite with Hak Baker for his collaboration with Ezra Collective member Joe Armon-Jones's new project to create not just a terrific promo but a hugely powerful short doc about gentrification in London's East End.As Armon-Jones and Baker's song Wrong Side Of Town is about being priced out of a&nbsp;traditionally working class quarter of London, the video sees Baker cycling through the area he grew up in,&nbsp;observing the effects of gentrification, but also the surviving parts of a working-class community that continue to define the city.Myles and Gustav of Broken Antenna have addressed this subject with righteous passion and considerable skill. With their experience in mixed media, they use various tools to augment the already excellent camerawork capturing&nbsp;Hak's cycle journey. And they continue to introduce new elements to&nbsp;grip the viewer to their subject&nbsp;- even as the track follows an appealing laidback reggae rhythm - leading to a stirring final section involving interviews with some proud East Enders.[imgtoken data:1]Giving more context, Hak Baker says: “All our lives people have been looking down their noses at us but we used to have the safe haven of the estate, blocks and high roads to commune and be human. Now, we hardly have that. The wealthy come to our area to take over and not take part, shoving us outwardly looking down their biased beaks."Nah mate, not round here. I think it’s time to scream and shout that we’re here to stay and if you don’t like it, you must be on the wrong side of the town.”&nbsp;Ultimately this is a film which potentially transcends its nominal purpose as a pop promo to reach a wider audience, to raise awareness and emotions, putting the issue of gentrification on the political agenda. Something like that does not happen too often. Bravo to all involved.&nbsp;

Joe Armon-Jones & Hak Baker - Wrong Side Of Town

Twin sisters Elektra and Miranda Kilbey - aka Say Lou Lou - are back with their cover of Kate Bush’s You’re The One, and an emotionally rich visual for the track, directed by Chloe Hayward.In Hayward's video, the duo play two sides of the same woman, each battling her own inner obstacles which manifest into physical realities when trying to leave a relationship. While Miranda is in a domestic setting, Elektra (also an actor, recently&nbsp;in Apple TV+ show Shantaram) is constantly on the move, by car, foot and hitching a ride, to get to her destination.[imgtoken data:1]“The song is about the different choices we each make in love,&nbsp;that limbo of deciding to stay or leave," says Hayward. "We decided to play with the duality of the twins very directly and present these alternate versions of a love that might exist and simultaneously be a dream.“We were inspired by the Dogma filmmakers, so we set rules for the video as if it were a film. We never see the two girls in the same frame, Elektra is only ever seen outside and Miranda is only seen inside the house to echo these two versions.”Ambitiously executed, even with the aforementioned restraint in the concept, the use of lo-fi edit moments and creative cinematography helps elevate this video to true artistic heights, and it's a mesmerising watch.&nbsp;

The third in Dylan Hayes' trilogy of videos&nbsp;for Chris Clark's tenth album Sus Dog&nbsp;visualises the sonic chemistry that the electronic artist achieves with guest collaborator&nbsp;Thom Yorke on Medicine.&nbsp;Bringing the textural feel of his previous videos for the album, for Clutch Pearlers and Dolgoch Tape, Hayes features Clark and Yorke in performance separately, then brings them together so they appear to briefly merge, via the craft of editing and the clever use of state of the art tech.&nbsp;“Chris and I have always bonded over a common endeavour to conceal the digital," says Hayes. "This is interesting considering we’re using a very digital medium as an element for ‘Medicine’ - deepfake.&nbsp;"I was intrigued in using AI in a way that remained subtle. Typically, when deepfake or another AI element is employed, it is the main focus whereas for Medicine I wanted to bury the effect and layer it with additional textures, making it just one of the many components. Through the use of the technology Chris and Thom’s characteristics merge, which creates an uncanny synergy of both their faces and voices, causing a question of who’s who and a theme of the malleability of their voices."I wanted a shift of tone for Medicine. In Clutch Pearlers and Dolgoch Tape there were strong singular themes. For Medicine I wanted to adopt a complexity, looking at the degradation of the body and location with a heavy influence of Kafka’s Metamorphosis&nbsp;and Stan Brakhage’s Mothlight&nbsp;short film. As a trilogy they are held together by location and character forming."

Nathan James Tettey solidifies his creative collaboration with rapper Dave, co-directing the video for Sprinter - Dave's new single with Central Cee - shot in London and Monaco.The first single from the pair's EP&nbsp;Split Decision, which arrived just before both rappers celebrated their 25th birthdays - they were born one day apart, with Central Cee’s 25th on Sunday (4th June) and Dave’s yesterday (5th June) - sees both on top form, front and centre in the video.Despite the glamour that surrounds them - the locations, the cars, the girls - this is all about the artists and their performances, as they demonstrate their abundant talent, charisma and chemistry in every scenario. The reason that this is going to be huge. In fact, it already is.

Directing trio Three Shades direct&nbsp;a&nbsp;colourful, fun and emotional promo for D.O.D’s summer dance anthem So Much In Love.As self-confessed lovers of music festivals, the trio&nbsp;found themselves revelling in the creation of an intimate forest getaway, where a couple reminisce about the honeymoon period of their relationship at a summer festival&nbsp;surrounded by friends.&nbsp;Bookended by rainy shots of the&nbsp;couple in the car, their relationship soured and miles away from the happy vibes of the fest,&nbsp;the video perfectly encapsulates the highs and lows of a relationship, with a fresh, energetic backdrop.&nbsp;“As well as getting great chemistry between the main couple, we also lucked out with the supporting and additional cast that all came down, everyone had such great energy," say Three Shades. "We felt the excitement of summer just around the corner, which definitely helped fuel the love and joy on set we needed.”Messy campsites, shared rollies and sweaty forest raves - a&nbsp;place Three Shades know well... Good times.D.O.D. 'So Much In Love' Director's Cut - link below:

D.O.D 'So Much In Love (Director's Cut)' by Three Shades

Dylan Hayes gets glitchy with nature, in his mesmerizing video for composer, electronic producer and performer Christopher Clark - aka Clark.In the promo for Clutch Pearlers - from Clark's forthcoming album Sus Dog - Hayes manipulates key images of wintry English countryside, including looming trees and giant stones, and portraits of Clark himself, through the prism of analogue TV screens. Through the repetition of the gold-tinged imagery through a vibrantly&nbsp;kinetic edit, it draws in the viewer and maintains a hypnotic grip.For this song about social awkwardness and insecurity - told with self-awareness and self-deprecation by Clark, who's fully focussed as a vocalist on the new album&nbsp;for the first time - Hayes channels the influence of a bygone age of British experimental filmmaking, from Derek Jarman's A Journey To Avebury, to cult 70s kids TV series&nbsp;Children Of The Stones. Lovely work.[imgtoken data:1] &nbsp;

Knucklehead have announced the signing of directing team Three Shades - aka Dean, Sim and Warren - to their music and content directors' roster.Three Shades describe themselves as a 'one-hive mind, three creative brains' who synchronise their ideas and vision into one. Within two years, the trio has managed to build up a portfolio of work creating music videos for Bastille, Josh Barry, Inji and others - as well as working with brands such as M&amp;S, DAZN, Urban Outfitters, KLM Airlines, and Levi’s.Friends since childhood, Three Shades bonded over their shared love of film, music and travel, cutting their filmmaking teeth on a 2.5 year round-the-world trip, which was documented on their popular YouTube channel Travel Blaggers.When they returned home with a showreel of music promos and content, they began shooting music videos, fashion, food and everything in between. Three Shades’ ability to cover a lot of ground quickly facilitated their rapid rise and development, and during lockdown, they decided to focus their energy on directing as a trio and honing their style.“People are often very intrigued by the directing trio dynamic and it’s something we pride ourselves on, being such close friends with similar tastes but also how we push ourselves and bring the best out of each other, constantly pushing the limits of our creative output,” they explain.The trio have already directed two videos with Knucklehead for the dance artist Luude - the second of which, for <a href="https://wdrv.it/60307cfd0" target="_blank">Oh My</a>, has just launched.“You know 2023 is going to be a big one when you find out you’ll be joining the Knucklehead crew!" say Three Shades. "Having worked independently for the last few years, we felt this was the right time to reach out to a production company and the connection couldn’t have been more natural."Their reputation and experience in pushing creative standards is exactly what attracted us and we’re humbled they wanted to take us on. It’s an honour to be on a roster with so many incredibly talented individuals and we’re ready to start this next stage of the journey with the team!”Knucklehead’s Head of Music Video &amp; Content, Ore Okonedo: “Three Shades are smart, they're talented, and the process with them is always fun. I’m excited to see what we make together.”• Watch Three Shades' showreel at Knucklehead <a href="https://wdrv.it/9a56e3b06" target="_blank">here</a>

Nathan James Tettey reunites with Headie One to direct&nbsp;a cinematic promo for viral track Martin's Sofa.&nbsp;The director leans into the themes of the track, which pay tribute to a friend who helped the artist right at the start of his career.&nbsp;A montage of&nbsp;vignettes play out across the four-minute runtime, ranging from dreamlike, vibrant set pieces to exterior performance sections, all tied together with a sense of community and friendship. And having just signed to Knucklehead for global representation, it's a great way for Tettey to start a new chapter in his career.&nbsp;&nbsp;"Making Martin's Sofa was the most out of body experience I’ve endured in a while but I loved every second of it and to see the response from Headie’s fans has been incredible to witness because really making this video was for them as well as for Headie and Martin," Tettey has said. "Martin's actual sofa is real and was used in the video but the sentiment of what Headie is talking about is also real as well and for me was perfectly illustrated in the process all of us went through trying to bring his vision to life. Getting up each day at the crack of dawn and working into the deep of night to try and solve as many problems and tick as many boxes as is humanly possible before getting back up to do it all again the next day. "I just want to thank every member of the immediate team...&nbsp;Myself, Headie and Martin couldn’t have done it without you…"&nbsp;

Broken Antenna return to music videos with this playful, technically adept video for Fatima and Joe Armin-Jones.The track&nbsp;#1, a song about a lover that’s emotionally disconnected due to past trauma, is paradoxically paired with a visual that demonstrates that love and compassion can still exist. The day to day goings-on in a&nbsp;domestic life are&nbsp;captured in a single tracking move, with its complexity highlighted by an additional layer of video squares, highlighting small details.&nbsp;It's a welcome return to music for the directing duo, whose work includes acclaimed videos for Hak Baker, Clark and Slick Don.&nbsp;

A lone choirboy in his choral gown collects fragments of electronic equipment along mudflats in Broken Antenna's poignant video for Clark's Small.The track is taken from the electronic musician and soundtrack composer's latest album&nbsp;Playground In A Lake, released on classical label Deutsche Grammaphon, and features young Nathaniel Timoney on vocals - who plays the beachcoming choirboy&nbsp;in the video.Filmed in the Thames estuary, this is a tonal departure for the directing duo&nbsp;- that's&nbsp;Myles McAuliffe and Gustav Newby&nbsp;- compared to previous videos for&nbsp;Hak Baker and others. But the result is a&nbsp;distinctive vision of a Ballardian 'Drowned World' evoked in Clark's new album,&nbsp;with a splendid&nbsp;performance&nbsp;from their young lead.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

For their latest video for Hak Baker, Broken Antenna&nbsp;try something different: a mini-drama of a London wedding in the early 2000s, that brings white and black families together, shot entirely on Hi8.Hak and his band provide the entertainment as the wedding party in a local church hall gets into full swing - performing his latest ode, Venezuela Riddim. There's drinking, dancing and other stuff. Tempers fray, connections are made... and fans of Hak Baker's previous videos will not be surprised to learn that&nbsp;the charismatic troubadour&nbsp;is soon in the thick of it.&nbsp;This is&nbsp;a subtle change-up into drama for Broken Antenna - that's Myles McAuliffe and Gustav Newby&nbsp;- which&nbsp;they handle with aplomb. Everything feels right about it - the sizeable cast is pitch perfect, the use of the home video camera helps to deliver that sense of authenticity. And although the wedding is not genuine, the party probably is.An excellent addition to the Hak Baker canon by Broken Antenna, which includes&nbsp;the UKMVA-nominated <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2017/12/19/hak-baker-it-or-lump-it-broken-antenna/51088" target="_blank">Like It Or Lump It</a> and Wonderland.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hugh Rochfort's video for punk-jazz combo&nbsp;Melt Yourself Down is a frenzied and euphoric examination of society's outcasts and their refuges.Though all vastly different, the characters share an internalised claustrophobia, which is brought to light as they're not&nbsp;able to satisfy their natural desires, and their need to belong. They are consciously or unconsciously trying to shield their own spleen from the societal 'Boot'.Colourful and wacky, the video is relentlessly frenetic courtesy of the quickfire edit by Greg Hayes, allowing just enough time to catch your breath before it goes somewhere even wilder than before. The extensive use of closeups helps to portray the feeling of claustrophobia, the unusual camera angles adds to disorienting effect - pretty much perfect for the&nbsp;uncompromising Boot And Spleen.&nbsp;
