Chris Fowles directs a poignant promo for Cavetown's Fall In Love With A Girl, featuring&nbsp;Beabadoobee.The video sees the artist - real name Robin Skinner - create a series of narrative setups in a dollhouse, using small figurines and a selection of to-scale props. One of those small figurines follows the song's lead - they are placed in a conventional&nbsp;heterosexual relationship; but each time Cavetown's character returns to the doll's house, they have mysteriously turned away from this stereotypical set-up.&nbsp;Then a turning point changes the course of the narrative - triggered by the arrival of Bea, when Robin is absent. The figurine can then embrace the&nbsp;same-sex relationship they dream&nbsp;of.[imgtoken data:1]Fowles shows impressive storytelling craft in making this all work. He approaches it in an&nbsp;an accessible, artistic way,&nbsp;and DoP Terrence Wilkins' superb cinematography - both in and out of the dollhouse - elevates the entire project. The performances of the artists also strike&nbsp;the right note.&nbsp;&nbsp;"I was so excited when this brief came in,"&nbsp;says Fowles. "The track was such an earworm and an incredible chance to work with artists like Robin and Bea, who I’ve been a fan of for a while."The video is a playful lesson in not being able to control who you fall in love with. An attempt to control your destiny and finding (or in this case, creating) the perfect person."[imgtoken data:2]&nbsp;

Chris Fowles's one-take video for Griff's live performance of her latest banger One Night toys with our perceptions.&nbsp;It begins in Griff's tiny bedsit, but she steps directly out into the Great Outdoors - a tree-packed wood, where she joins her band.The video was shot on 16mm. "With limited film, we had only a handful of takes to get it right," says Fowles."The video plays on the idea of home not feeling like the safe space it should be. When you're kept awake at night, wishing to be transported somewhere else."
