Isaac Ravishankara finds a highly original way to combine a storyline with music performance - inventively merging the two parts together in every shot - in his lovely video for&nbsp;George Ezra's Green Green Grass.Ravinshankara nods to a few screen classics and gives it a nice modern twist, with a diner-robbing loved-up couple also being females of a certain age. Meanwhile, George smoothly observes everything, telling the story of the 'young lovers' with his trusty guitar, all the way from the diner to getaway vehicle to the field where the pair bury their ill-gotten loot.&nbsp;The device of an on-screen musical narrator device is not remotely new, but Ravishankara takes it too a new level here, with a sense of fun that is entirely suitable to the George Ezra persona and musical oeuvre.Theoretically there is competition in every shot between the narrative and the performance. In fact, they work seamlessly together, due to the clever construction of the shots and also some terrific performances - from&nbsp;Amy Stoch and Michele Matheson as the happy criminals, and Ezra too.&nbsp;&nbsp;And it looks absolutely marvellous. DoP Logan Triplett filmed this on 2-perf 35 mm 200T 5213 film stock, so it always will.[imgtoken data:1]<blockquote>To pull this off turned out to be much harder than we thought.</blockquote>"The concept that came to mind when I first heard Green Green Grass was a simple narrative - two not-so-young lovers rob a diner, joyride out of town, and bury the money with the rest of their retirement fund out in the middle of nowhere then dance with joy. Pulp Fiction meets Thelma and Louise meets Harold and Maude," says Isaac Ravishankara."However, we really wanted to anchor the video on a unique and dynamic performance from George. I really loathe simply intercutting a performance with a narrative. So we proposed an experiment - what if George is performing WITHIN every shot of the narrative? What would that feel like?&nbsp;"To pull this off turned out to be much harder than we thought. Working with the wonderful DoP Logan Triplett, and our brilliant choreographers Jillian Meyers and Dana Wilson, we had to pre-visualize the video in advance to determine which shots in the narrative would correspond to which lines of performance. Then on the day, the concept was really brought to life by our two 'young lovers' - Amy Stoch and Michele Matheson - and obviously George Ezra as well!"In the end, I think it's really fun to be able to watch the video with a different focus each time, and I'm really excited by how the whole "experiment" turned out."&nbsp;&nbsp;

Allie Avital’s video for new pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo&nbsp;is a vibrant tale of mutual obsession and merging identities, where the director creates an elevated, dreamy reality that’s entirely fitting for&nbsp;the track’s title Deja Vu - the follow-up to her huge international hit Drivers License.Drawing inspiration from a wide array of films and television such as Ingrid Goes West, Killing Eve, 3 Women and Persona, Avital cleverly crafts what initially appears to be a one-sided curiosity, as Olivia Rodrigo obsessively studies her favourite actress&nbsp;- watching her on TV screens, copying her and literally 'trying on' her life.&nbsp;But as the film progresses, Avital slowly reveals a mutual infatuation between the two girls, ultimately culminating in a merging of identities. With a touch of humour, pop vibrance and lightness mixed with cinematic visuals, the short pulsates with energy and straddles the line of reality. By the end you are left wondering - who is copying who?“Olivia is such a collaborative and generous creative spirit and it made the process so much fun," says Avital about the making of the Deja Vu video.&nbsp;"There’s a particular internal logic to the video, and I was so lucky that Olivia, the crew, and the editor were as excited as me to develop and pursue a concept like this.&nbsp;"We were all speaking the same language by the end of the project, communicating on another level based on the rules within the world we’d built.”[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

Colin Read employs technical ingenuity to chronicle a man's descent to the brink of madness for Doves.In the Broken Eyes video it's the same room, the same camera move (more or less) being replayed again and again. Each time a fraught domestic situation gets worse. It's a lockdown nightmare, basically.But can this selfish, self-destructive individual pull himself together before it's too late?&nbsp;

Allie Avital reunites with Moses Sumney to create a poignant fantasy for Me In 20 Years, with the singer-songwriter transformed into an old man living in a strange, dystopian world.The elderly Sumney is trapped in a small apartment in a&nbsp;tower block with Soviet-era amenities and no food - only milk. He is living on memories, and not much else. And then there's that strange pool, on one side of his bed, like a portal to another dimension.As with her previous videos&nbsp;- including&nbsp;the <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2017/10/02/moses-sumney-lonely-world-allie-avital/49860" target="_blank">Sasha Lane-starring Lonely World</a>&nbsp;and <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2018/04/23/moses-sumney-quarrel-allie-avital-moses-sumney/52778" target="_blank">Quarrel</a> - Avital uses Sumney's remarkable voice for the platform of a simple narrative that reveals elements of myth and mystery. The pictures retain a close connection to the words, and through his memories and pain, and brief transformation back to his younger self, the fate of old Moses is sealed.This is a very assured work, where you can perceive a number of important influences - including Orwell, William Burroughs, Bowie - but none are as important as the creative chemistry between the artist and the director.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Now they reunite&nbsp;to present another wonderfully uplifting mess of kinetic song-and-dance for Heart Attack, from the forthcoming album I Can Feel You Creep Into My Private Life.Cave&#39;s colour coordinated dancers are arranged in different locations, then&nbsp;suffer simulataneous faux-coronaries when they remove paper bags from their heads,&nbsp;while Garbus cuts a theatrically agonised figure under a heavy spotlight.&nbsp;They all eventually gather together for a final throw of life&#39;s dice, while Garbus does the best &quot;heart attack-ack-ack-ack-ack&quot; since <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6J1jgQs1Cg" target="_blank">Billy Joel&#39;s Moving Out</a>.No one really does the overly dramatic quite like her, certainly not in what is generally termed &#39;alternative music&#39;.&nbsp;

Andrew Thomas Huang&#39;s video for Perfume Genius is a hyper-saturated theatrical firestorm come to life. Dancing effortlessly between a colourful-curtained facade and the luxurious fields and meadows of the outside world, this video is a magical exercise in escape and escapism.With lightning-quick cuts and a camera that refuses to stay still, it&#39;s a dizzying sprint between worlds that blurs the line between reality and fantasy - feeling like a sincere and joyous love poem to videos like Smashing Pumpkins&#39; Tonight, Tonight&nbsp;&ndash; itself a nod to the theatrics of early cinema &ndash; only on a smaller scale.
