Lewis Cater

Lewis Cater follows the enigmatic promo for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2023/01/26/shinedown-dead-dont-die-lewis-cater/80130">Dead Don't Die</a> with another Shinedown collaboration - this time for A Symptom Of Being Human.&nbsp;The video deals with the unique yet universal challenges that are part and parcel of being human, touching upon anxiety, the cost of living&nbsp;and the overarching search for meaning in the everyday.&nbsp;Visually representing the highs and lows of life, the video focuses on a young girl, who discovers a book in a grand library with completely blank pages. She soon projects her fear and anxieties onto the page, until a breakthrough moment shines a light on the brighter side of life, and the friends who help her navigate the storm.[imgtoken data:1]The slick, filmic aesthetic perfectly contrasts the golden light of the library with the cold, clouded gloom of her fear vignettes, and the central performance helps marry the different setups to great effect.&nbsp;&nbsp;"There’s something quite magical about filming in London in December and we quite literally captured this underneath the festive glow of Westminster," Cater explains. "We were blessed with such an amazing team who stepped straight onto this after we wrapped on the Dead Don’t Die video."

Shinedown 'A Symptom Of Being Human' by Lewis Cater

Shinedown - A Symptom Of Being Human (Official Video)

Lewis Cater directs a minacious promo for Shinedown, where under the ominous surveillance of an unspecified evil, the US rock band&nbsp;look fear straight in the eye.&nbsp;The video for Dead Don't Die jumps between a rowdy performance section in an ornate structure, and enigmatic vignettes with frontman Brett, where various weapons and objects hang mid-air, threatening to break through and injure him - but unable to do so.It's a thrilling addition to both the band and Cater's videography, and packed full of filmic moments and great performances.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;&nbsp;"We shot the video for Dead Don’t Die straight after the band’s Wembley headline show last month," Cater says.&nbsp;"It was a special shoot as it was the first time that the band had shot a video outside of United States."It’s a video about resilience, the strong-willed, the bend but never break human spirit. The power of the mind is extraordinary. The band use their strength within to control the darkness and retreat to a more positive space."We follow Brent (Shinedown's frontman) as he is pursued by an unspecified evil. He passes by each band member as they use their energy to control a moment of wickedness. Brent is then confronted. Using MoCo, we had bullets build up around Brent. The power of his mind pushes to the forefront as the bullets are suspended. After overcoming each of their obstacles, the band are united for one final test."[imgtoken data:2]&nbsp;

Craig Gorman and his biker gang wheelie their way through Dublin's suburbs, in&nbsp;Lewis Cater's promo for Workout.&nbsp;In the video, we see vocalist Alex Hosking lead&nbsp;a fitness class in a warehouse space, intercut with the biker action just up the road.&nbsp;Eventually, both worlds collide as the boys crash the class, and Gorman gets on the decks to amp up the party vibes.&nbsp;Aidan Gault's cinematography carefully treads the line between gritty exterior scenes and polished interiors, creating the contrast between the worlds, and the lighting in the warehouse space - consisting of several pastel-coloured light sources illuminating different sections of the space - really elevates the aesthetic.&nbsp;

A couple make a break for the coast as an asteroid threatens the earth, in Lewis Cater's promo for Ella Henderson's Risk It All.&nbsp;Shot against a backdrop of the Seven Sisters cliffs in Sussex,&nbsp;the&nbsp;video sees the couple cross off a last minute bucket list, as they live out what is potentially their Last Day on Earth.&nbsp;Touching upon the dichotomy of fear and love, it's a brilliantly realised visual, with a surprising feel-good factor. Elevated by a breezy performance section - featuring Ella and the House Gospel Choir - the video manages to balance the pre-Apocalyptic sense of drama with an exploration of young love and a gratitude for being alive.

Lewis Cater directs an intimate live promo for Sarah Proctor.&nbsp;Shot in an industrial space, joined by a group of musicians and with only a microphone to interact with, the video is focused purely on Proctor's performance and the emotional journey of the track Tired - and it works beautifully.&nbsp;Flooded in golden light and shot with calm, deliberate camera movements, the visual keeps things simple and straightforward, and that proves to be a smart choice.This is a fine showcase of talent at play - both artist and creative team - and a memorable visual accompaniment to a stirring song.&nbsp;

When small pets start going missing from the neighbourhood, Cavetown (aka Robin Skinner) plays amateur sleuth - and gets caught up in an unfolding injustice - in Lewis Cater’s riveting video for Ur Gonna Wish U Believed Me.Switching between a courtroom scene - where Cavetown&nbsp;is the defendant - and the events that preceded it, Cater makes an utterly absorbing drama from this small yet timely story. Cavetown pleads his case to the stern magistrate on the bench by performing the song, and the prosecutor and shifty pet shop owner - claiming ownership of the pets - invert the truth and falsely accuse him&nbsp;of theft.With taught directing and editing, Lewis Cater creates a new&nbsp;take on the classic scenario of the individual unjustly caught on the grinding wheels of justice and establishment power. It’s also a great showcase for an intriguing artist and their song, reminiscent of another much-missed underdog, Elliott Smith. A terrific video.[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]&nbsp;

Max Moore directs breakout newcomer Foster&nbsp;in the promo for Fools (Can't Help Falling In Love).&nbsp;Shot in both Nashville and London, the video depicts Foster at a drive-in movie theatre, with Sody is shown performing in an interior elsewhere&nbsp;- filmed in London by 2nd unit director&nbsp;Lewis Cater.&nbsp;&nbsp;Sampling the iconic Elvis Presley track, the visual has a decidedly anachronistic aesthetic, balancing traditional iconography with a youthful perspective.&nbsp;DoP&nbsp;Nate Spicer intercuts silky-smooth gimbal shots with vintage 16mm textures, elevating the nostalgic vibes.&nbsp;

Holding Absence - Afterlife

Lewis Cater directs a vibrant new video&nbsp;for The Hunna, following a community of young outcasts who are splintered off from society.&nbsp;Shot around the grounds of Fort Borstal in Kent, the cinematic video is punctuated by car racing, pyrotechnics&nbsp;and post-apocalyptic styling, with an abstract narrative running alongside the action.&nbsp;Frontman&nbsp;Ryan Potter gives a suitably brooding performance, and each of the cast are believable in their respective roles.&nbsp;The use of drone footage and action cameras adds a huge amount of production value, and helps bring the near-future world to life in a spectacular fashion."The narrative is centered around an alternative community for those who feel outcasted or looked down upon," Lewis Cater tells us.&nbsp;"We created a positive space that people can escape to and feel accepted whilst surrounded by others like them. The video&nbsp;celebrates youth, it’s about showing strength, power and success. It features fast cars, positive vibes and a lot of fire!"&nbsp;

Lewis Cater directs the second part of an abstract narrative for Stand Atlantic, in the video for Blurry.&nbsp;Back in the same maze of rooms first introduced in the <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2020/07/06/stand-atlantic-jurassic-park-lewis-cater/65552">first segment</a>, vocalist Bon is trapped once again as a darkness spreads like a disease, rotting the candy-coloured set and everything within it.&nbsp;DoP&nbsp;Lorenzo Levrini ramps up the drama with cold, clinical lighting and off-kilter camera angles, whilst Cater's focus on real-life issues and world events gives the concept an uncomfortably realistic undertone.&nbsp;
