Rita Ora has the time of her life with a surprising supporting&nbsp;cast, in Joseph Kahn's show-stopping video&nbsp;for Rita's take on the Fatboy Slim classic.Although Praising You is a Norman Cook-approved interpolation of Praise You, Joseph Kahn avoids referencing it's legendary video. He very much&nbsp;does his own thing - of course he does&nbsp;- which is to create a colossally entertaining spectacle, and a fabulous vehicle for Rita Ora.&nbsp;&nbsp;We start with Rita performing&nbsp;in the church in the desert, a unconventional preacher, performing to a rapt congregation - who turn out to be a small army of mannequin dolls, with very unmannequin-like qualities. Every time they are in shot, they are all posed into hilariously uncanny positions.&nbsp;One of them is playing the organ... A few of them are raising their hands in amazement... And by the end, when Rita and her gang head out into the desert, a few of them are lying in a pile of disembodied pieces.&nbsp;The visual has the widescreen cinematic aesthetic you expect from Kahn's work, and some standout VFX - No.8 and POD LDN going above and beyond on the project on this project. Overall, it's a triumph - and a great team up. Kahn&nbsp;frames Rita's undeniable star quality in the best possible way. With explosions, obviously...[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2][imgtoken data:3]

Andrew Donoho brilliantly blends CG and live action in his promo&nbsp;for George Ezra's Anyone For You, using Extended Reality (or XR)&nbsp;technology to drive the concept, and frame another winning Ezra performance."To parallel the idea of George being 'anyone for you', I captured him in five natural environments with a distinct atmosphere to match his ever-changing appearance," explains Donoho, who also acted as VFX artist for the video.&nbsp;"We filmed the video in an XR stage [in Los Angeles] using entirely CG backgrounds, rendered live on a 80 foot screen, to playfully give his backgrounds their own digital identity crisis.[imgtoken data:1]"As his artificial worlds break down like a person changing themselves for love, we introduce one of my favourite techniques of all time: a live, digital feedback loop of George projected behind George ad infinitum over the walls and floor."Ezra brings his customary playful energy to the project, and is mesmerising to watch throughout - especially when that feedback loop of his performance takes over the screen, perpetually repeating over and over like an infinity mirror.&nbsp;The combination of artificial and real elements feels fresh and seamless, and Ezra's bubbly presence heightens the carefree mood.&nbsp;

Not to be outdone by his old mucker Gary Barlow,&nbsp;Robbie Williams also has a new video out. And the concept is weirdly similar &ndash;&nbsp;up to a point.Like <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2013/10/18/gary-barlow-let-me-go-ben-winston" target="_blank">Gary&#39;s Let Me Go</a>, Robbie also heads for America&#39;s&nbsp;city streets in Marc Klasfeld&#39;s video for Go Gentle. He&#39;s just a little bit more ambitious: no mere upright joannas for him, plonked in the street for a good old singalong in NYC. Robbie&#39;s come to LA, and&nbsp;brought his own ship...&nbsp;&nbsp;
