Depzman, aka Joshua Ribera, a rapper who was stabbed to death aged 18 in 2013,&nbsp;comes back to life in this emotional&nbsp;music video using Deepfake technology, directed by directing duo BRIGHTNIGHT.After opening with a short series of videos of the young rapper performing and his breakout on YouTube, the video then displays a message that gives context to the project - co-commissioned by The Joshua Ribera Foundation, the charity that combats knife crime in his name, and SBTV - and how it came about.&nbsp;BRIGHTNIGHT came up with the idea and pitched it to the charity, in partnership with advertising agency McCann London. The team recreated Depzman using Deepfake video technology and a rapper body double who could lip sync the lyrics and mimic Depz’s characteristic movement, down to the movement of the head and hands.In conjunction with the film, an original track with digitally manipulated vocals and a classic 140bmp grime beat were&nbsp;produced. Rapper ShadowCV ghostwrote the lyrics with Alison Cope, Depzman’s mum, and took inspiration from Depz’s life story and his old videos. Some of his old lyrics were also incorporated into the song.“Deepfake technology gets a lot of criticism in the news but we wanted to show that it can be used for good," say BRIGHTNIGHT.&nbsp;Absorbing and poignant, the video is a standout use of the technology, and an example of the good that can come from creative collaboration.&nbsp;

Depzman 'Life Cut Short' by BRIGHTNIGHT

Jess Cope&#39;s new animation for Metallica is a pitch-dark ode to revenge.Steeped in dark imagery of expressionist fairy tales, horror films and a little bit of Hitchcock thrown in for good measure, the seven-minute clip&nbsp;follows an anthropomorphised&nbsp;hyena who hunts female animals of all varieties&nbsp;for sport. The&nbsp;heads&nbsp;of his victims, and their dresses, hang on his walls like trophies, as he prepares to take his next victim:&nbsp;the suburban housewife-deer who lives across the valley.&nbsp;However, things take a turn for the vengeful as the ghosts of his past victims help to turn the tables on his plans. It&#39;s all as slow-burning, brooding, and tense as the track - from Metallica&#39;s new album Hardwired.... To Self-Destruct &ndash;&nbsp;with a dark animation style reminiscent of Edward Gorey, by way of the Brothers Grimm.

They&#39;re back! All Saints &ndash;&nbsp;the British &#39;90s girlband you would actually want to hang out with &ndash; have a new single, which comes with a stripped-back, black and white video&nbsp;directed by Tom Beard.With the monochrome look harking back to the iconic Vaughan Arnell-directed&nbsp;Booty Call vid, the added lo-fi effect is also a nod to the girls&#39; favourite female singers of the 1980s.&nbsp;And with the&nbsp;minimalist set Tom Beard shows off his continuing passion for intimate character observation.

Walking On Cars 'Always Be With You' by Filmawi & Esrael

Walking On Cars - Always Be With You

For their collaboration Who Do You Love,&nbsp;Adam Bainbridge&nbsp;aka Kindness, and Robyn have made a video with&nbsp;Daniel Brereton that could hardly be more personal. As both Kindness and Robyn explain...&nbsp;Kindness: &quot;This video and this song is about people and connection, and how you can identify who you are by those you love. Those people say a hell of a lot about you. Daniel&rsquo;s idea was a series of portraits of our closest friends and family &ndash;&nbsp;in a way, the most revealing portraits of us possible. There&#39;s something about seeing all these people together, all these people that would do this for us &ndash;&nbsp;it makes the song make a little more sense, and a little more powerful.&quot;Robyn adds: &quot;There is so much information in the faces of people. And some of the people I love more than anything are in this video together with people that mean the world to Adam, so for me it has many dimensions. But for anyone watching it has a beautiful way of communicating the different layers in the song.&quot;
