We may have just left behind the hottest day on record, but that doesn't stop Lizzie Reid showing off her impressive jumper collection, in Gregg Houston's promo for Warpaint.&nbsp;As Lizzie performs, the jumpers are launched at her from off-screen. She takes it all in her stride, matching the reflective themes of the track, making for a&nbsp;refreshingly simple yet absorbing visual. But it wasn't as simple as it looks, as Gregg Houston explains.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]"Warpaint is probably the most upbeat song I've heard from Lizzie so my taste for having artists remain like statues in a video wasn't going to work as well here," he says. "Speaking with Chris at the label we decided that as well as showing a fun side - whatever that means -&nbsp;we should also try and show her lovely array of woollen jumpers."It turned out that Lizzie actually had a bit of a phobia about putting jumpers on and things around her neck. I only learnt that on the day. Being a great sport she pressed ahead and we decided to attempt it only three times."When she is struggling in this video it is most certainly real! I find those moments the most revealing and likeable and am so pleased that we got to keep them in."

Curse Of Lono vocalist&nbsp;Felix Bechtolsheimer goes on a journey of rediscovery, in Gregg Houston's thought-provoking promo for&nbsp;Let Your Love Rain Down On Me.&nbsp;The abstract narrative unfolds slowly across the three and a half minute runtime, and leaves plenty of room for interpretation.&nbsp;Bechtolsheimer is shown digging something up and taking it to a new destination, but this is all that is given away.&nbsp;The slick cinematography, paired with gritty film textures and a lonely nighttime setting, create an otherworldy vibe throughout the video, which feels as if it could be in a parallel world or somewhere not quite anchored in our reality.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Joseph J. Jones has a mournful look around his hometown in Gregg Houston&#39;s clip for&nbsp;Gospel Truth.Wandering through his hometown of Hornchurch before he embarks on the next chapter of his life, Jones sits in various locations that are personal to him - the family living room, the local pub, and the greasy spoon cafe.&nbsp;The atmosphere is contemplative and the intercut performance sees him mostly draped in harsh shadow, making for an aesthetically striking contrast to the soft, even light of the every day. The past versus the future.

Gregg Houston and his crew have pulled off this stunning,&nbsp;one-shot live session, located at Clubs 2004 in Hornchurch, Essex - a&nbsp;working men&#39;s club frequented by the singer&#39;s father, and one which he himself&nbsp;has performed in&nbsp;many times over the years.In this video, Joseph manages to&nbsp;deliver a great performance while Steadicam op&nbsp;Josh Brooks walks around him, capturing it all live.&nbsp;And Gregg Houston says that it was no easy task to achieve.&quot;On the night we had everything set up before the regulars arrived. In order to get the take we had to turn the football off [the TV], and so there was a certain amount of pressure to get the performance nailed as soon as we could. We ended up doing three takes although Joseph nailed it in one and the first take is the first one used here.&quot;

Ariana takes a drive around London&nbsp;at night in her video for Dirty Dancing, in which Gregg Houston (aka Babysweet) transferred the footage he shot from digital to film in order to create that unmistakeable film look, and also physically manipulate the images by scratching into the emulsion.&nbsp;&nbsp;The result is a subtle but distinctive visual effect.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Gregg Houston aka&nbsp;Babysweet has delivered this&nbsp;new music video for Circa Waves&#39; Young Chasers&nbsp;shot during the band&#39;s performance at Alexandra Palace, confirming that good rythmic&nbsp;editing and varied shots of the band&#39;s pre-gig hang-outs, fast-paced&nbsp;performance and the crowd&#39;s energetic response can go a very long way.&nbsp;
