Tom Misch and Yussef Dayes return with Lift Off,&nbsp;a song that infuses jazz and funk through modern sensibilities, complete with a lovely video from&nbsp;Douglas Bernardt documenting their live performance of the track&nbsp;with Rocco Palladino, shot on 16mm film in Kiev.&nbsp;DoP&nbsp;Adolpho Veloso utilises drawn-out Steadicam&nbsp;shots, which float through the warmly-lit studio as an&nbsp;orange&nbsp;sun orbits the artists&nbsp;on a track. In the background, a couple are performing choreography as the guitar and bass lines crescendo to an addicting groove.It's a simple and clear concept, and Bernardt finds the magic within the hypnotic performances.&nbsp;

Tom Misch & Yussef Dayes (ft Rocco Palladino) 'Lift Off' by Douglas Bernardt

Tom-Misch-&amp;-Yussef-Dayes-'Lift-Off-(feat.-Rocco-Palladino)'-by-Douglas-Bernardt

Paranoia takes hold in&nbsp;Douglas Bernardt's thrilling vision for Tom Misch &amp; Yussef Dayes.&nbsp;Traversing an&nbsp;subway station in Kiev, the lead character - played by&nbsp;Demian Piatakov -&nbsp;snaps his neck back and forth, trying to catch a glimpse of the eyes trained on him. Everyday people morph into threatening figures as they glare and gossip, and all Piatakov can do is keep walking.Moments later, Piatakov is running through&nbsp;a vast forest, representing his confused emotions and the labyrinth that is his mind. Inside this world, he has a chance to pause and consider his surroundings, a juxtaposition to the dark&nbsp;city and its cacophony of noise and violence.&nbsp;DoP&nbsp;Adolpho Veloso contrasts the two locations through considered lighting and composition:&nbsp;the forest shots utilise slow zooms and breathtaking natural lighting, whilst the train has pulsing artificial light and lots of close-ups. A judicious use of VFX add a huge amount of production value to the project, and help create the haunting and ethereal world inside the character's mind.&nbsp;
