Young Replicant rounds off his visual trilogy for Sam Dew, with the intriguing promo for DJ.This is the third video for Dew by Alex Takacs aka Young Replicant, in a series for the singer's debut album Moonlit Fools, which&nbsp;follows a network of mysterious workers, unseen by anyone, who deliver bubblegum card-like messages in the middle of the night. These then act as catalysts for emotion, stirring up heartache or desire in the recipients.The delightful first video for NTWFL sets the scene for this enigmatic scenario.[vidtoken data:0]&nbsp;Then in Gone, we begin to see the same action from a different perspective, adding characters and deepening the mystery in a classic noir style.[vidtoken data:1]The video for DJ brings Sam Dew more to the forefront in a performance setting without compromising the overall dreamlike quality. A woman is drawn by the card of Dew to a screen in a carpark where she finds him and is then transported to a deserted beach, where another&nbsp;screen blots out the night sky.Posing abstract questions about our purpose on Earth in the age of technology, and what might be stopping us from becoming our best selves, the video is painted with a melancholic aesthetic, mixing intimate, slice-of-life vignettes with jarring reminders of technological influence, in the form of these omnipresent screens and displays.&nbsp;Young Replicant has long been able to establishing a visual universe and internal logic to his work that is entirely unique, and he has refined that further in this trilogy. It's a lovely thing - while also being a terrific&nbsp;showcase for Sam Dew's talent as a vocalist.

What could be more horrific than human pubic hair that comes to life and then wants to exact revenge upon its owner?Actually this wiry little ball could hardly be cuter. Christopher&nbsp;Watson-Wood and his team at Mad Ruffian have somehow managed to turn something that normally clogs up your drainpipe into a lovable, lonely hero, in this latest video for Anglo-Swedish indie outfit Francobollo. And that&#39;s despite the fact that his CGI creation is irrationally&nbsp;jealous and&nbsp;possessive towards its former owner, and sets about attempting to sabotage her hot date.It&#39;s an interesting, fun take on the Freudian Oedipus complex, and with a horror-tinged ending that matches up with the personality of the band - and perfectly timed for Halloween.

Francobollo 'Wonderful' by Christopher Watson-Wood

Francobollo | Wonderful [Official Music Video]

Christopher Watson-Wood - nominated for Best VFX at the UKMVAs last year for his work on Darwin Deez&#39;s <a href="http://promonews.tv/videos/2015/06/17/darwin-deez-kill-your-attitude-dent-de-cuir" target="_blank">Kill Your Attitude</a> &ndash; has now done a remarkable job remodelling still photos into an entirely 3D world in this promo for the10th anniversary&nbsp;In The Woods Festival - featuring a soundtrack by Glass Animals.&nbsp;&nbsp;This involved meticulously modelling the still photos in CG and projection mapping and digitally painting the images, ultimately allowing the camera (and, therefore the viewer) to float over the scenes that are seemingly frozen in time. Then the immersion goes a stage further, as Glass Animals&#39; Holiest kicks in, and the inner souls of revellers are revealed...Mad Ruffian have also created an illuminating&nbsp;Behind The FX&nbsp;film that shows how they used Houdini to model the scenes from the photos - and then hand-sculpted lots of new elements in CGI to create the 3D effect. Quite ingenious.&nbsp;&nbsp;
