David Wilson explores the breakdown of a nuclear family in his oddball promo for Glass Animals' Tangerine.&nbsp;Taking place on a surreal car journey - with vocalist Dave Bayley playing a Mother, Father and child at various ages - the story follows a typical modern day life-cycle... Boy meets girl, they have a&nbsp;kid, get annoyed with each other and end up splitting, just for the process to repeat when the kid reaches adolescence.The poignant message is wrapped in a layer of quirky imagery, with subtle visual effects allowing the three characters in tandem.The execution is top-notch, and a clever way to get around social distancing and the various challenges that have carried over from the year so far.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Glass Animals 'Tangerine' by David Wilson

Glass Animals - Tangerine (Official Video)

The Shantics&#39; lead singer Jimmy Morris has taken it upon himself to shoot the video for Heaven- a real homemade homage to the classic rock &#39;n roll frontman that we see all too rarely now.&nbsp;It&#39;s just Jimmy strutting his stuff, performing Heaven, in front of a simple but graphic backdrop, shot on a locked-off, lo-fi digital camera. He&#39;s got a bit of the&nbsp;Jaggers, the Iggys, and the Davids (Johanssen and Lee Roth, that is)&nbsp;about him. But he happens to be in a generation that doesn&#39;t usually do that stuff, which makes this all the more surprising.And when Jimmy takes his vest off... well, that&#39;s just pure&nbsp;&#39;Diet Coke&#39;...

Brett Simon has directed videos for all ten tracks on the new Snow Patrol album Wildness. The video for Soon was the first to be filmed, and also happens to be one of the most moving pieces of work in the medium for a long time.&nbsp;Snow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody wrote the song about his father, and the video is an insight into his&nbsp;family life, the emotional bonds between parents and son, and how generational responsibilities&nbsp;change over time. The brilliant use of home video footage - it begins with the moments when the teenage Gary leaves home for the first time - is the platform for the poignant comparison between then and now, and for a visible turmoil of emotions on the face of the &#39;adult&#39; Lightbody as he watches these home videos with his now elderly father.This great footage of the pair watching the videos on TV was achieved, as executive producer Matthew Clyde explains, with a real technical acuity, filming them through specially devised screens. It&nbsp;was important not only for this film, but setting a standard for all of the films that followed.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;&quot;We wanted to achieve a feeling of absolute intimacy between Gary and his Dad &ndash; a safe space, so to speak,&quot; says Clyde. &quot;Brett had been testing shooting through teleprompters, but wanted to up the ante and see both the subjects AND the home videos that were being played to them, effectively through a change of focus shifting, from the footage to the reaction to the footage.&nbsp;&quot;Portaprompt Ltd packaged a lightweight portable &lsquo;Z&rsquo; system &ndash; two monitors conjoined by a diagonal glass, each monitor reflected in each side of the glass. Both monitors were able to manually fade to black so we could dictate the opacity for shooting through. It worked a treat. We were on our way.&quot;And it was clearly a very moving experience for Gary Lightbody. He has written:&quot;soon is about my dad. three years ago he was diagnosed with dementia. i wanted to write a song that connected us both and let him know i was with him and would be always. the video we made for this (directed by brett simon) is me and my dad sitting together watching old home movies. filming it with him was one of the best days i ever spent with my dad and i&rsquo;m so grateful he got to share in the day and spend some time in my world. it meant everything to me.&quot;

Snow Patrol 'Soon' by Brett Simon

Snow-Patrol-'Soon'-by-Brett-Simon

A boy and a girl embark on a classic pre-romance rite of passage - the mock-serious chase - in and around the&nbsp;unmistakeable streets and buildings of Havana, in Brett Simon&#39;s&nbsp;video for Snow Patrol&#39;s Empress.Beautifully shot by Dustin Lane, winner of Best Cinematography at last year&#39;s UKMVAs, the action and chemistry between the young actors is captured with the fresh yet classic style of the French Nouvelle Vague. It&#39;s a superb&nbsp;accompaniment to a properly rousing Snow Patrol song - the second single from the band&#39;s new album Wildness is their best in ages.Brett Simon has created imagery for the whole album, to be unveiled when it&nbsp;comes out later this month. The Empress video seriously whets the appetite for that.

Snow Patrol 'Empress' by Brett Simon

Snow-Patrol-'Empress'-by-Brett-Simon

Snow Patrol return with Don&#39;t Give In, and&nbsp;a video directed by Brett Simon that reflects the heartfelt yearning at the heart of the song.At the start, it seems to be just a simple band performance against black. But as the lighting changes, a sheer black slope appears behind the band, and young men and women start to run up the slope, then acrobatically throw themselves from it.While Snow Patrol singer Gary Lightbody gives an&nbsp;emotional performance directed at the camera, the action around him intensifies, and becomes more coordinated. The young people combine and organise as they atempt to challenge the black slope - a visual response to Lightboy&#39;s&nbsp;plea: Don&#39;t Give In.Simon&#39;s video is the first of a series he&#39;s made for Wildness, Snow Patrol&#39;s first album in seven years.&nbsp;
