Dave Meyers directs a high-concept fairytale fantasy for&nbsp;Megan Thee Stallion's team-up&nbsp;Dua Lipa.Based on a concept by Megan Thee Stallion, the video follows two men as they wander into an otherworldly forest, before encountering the artists as you've never seen them before.&nbsp;Dark, sultry and enigmatic, the pair are introduced in the throws of a chaotic abode, which has gyrating legs for doors and a neverending spiral of spiky teeth lining the walls inside.&nbsp;The video only gets more absurd and visually complex from there, and the sheer scale of the concept - and the staggering amount of VFX&nbsp;work - pays off in an explosion of glossy set pieces and first class performances.&nbsp;It's jawdropping work - but that is what we have come to expect from the&nbsp;remarkable Dave Meyers and the brilliant team around him.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

Chris Martin and Selena Gomez are worlds apart in this evocative promo for Let Somebody Go, directed by Dave Meyers.&nbsp;We see the artists in a distorted New York cityscape, surrounded by an environment&nbsp;that steadily&nbsp;contorts into a surrealist dreamworld.&nbsp;Building upon themes of loss and moving on, we see Martin and Gomez tread the same path in seemingly parallel worlds, coming together for a short moment in a freefall, before parting again at the resolution of the video.&nbsp;The distinctive black and white style achieves a balance of French New Wave-era aesthetics and a dizzying display of visual effects prowess, resulting in a visual that is powerful and timeless.&nbsp;

Ed Sheeran and Dave Meyers collaborate once again to take us into a cartoonish world of all-out action. And this time for Shivers, it is back to the more&nbsp;benign, boy-next-door, version of Ed than the barely recognisable version&nbsp;in the devilish Bad Habits.Ed's out to get a special girl - who gets to show just how special she is.&nbsp;

Unquestionably one of the biggest blockbusters of the year so far.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Dave Meyers directs an emotional and pertinent&nbsp;visual for Anderson Paak's Lockdown.Reflecting on racial injustice, police brutality and the global pandemic, the video is an introspective exploration of how society has reached its tipping point, and a call for systematic change.&nbsp;Featuring cameos from&nbsp;Dominic Fike,&nbsp;Andra Day, Jay Rock, Syd of the Internet and .Paak's son Soul Rasheed, amongst others,&nbsp;Lockdown is made up of several performance vignettes, stylised in a subtle way with offbeat angles and composition, but pared down from some of Meyers' more fantastical work. The intimate performances are the focus here, and the video ensures&nbsp;the issues at hand remain centre-stage.&nbsp;The animation at the end of the video, detailing the names of those killed through police brutality, is a striking wake up call: "The People Are Rising". All cast and crew salaries were donated to Beam, Dream Defenders and Color Of Change.&nbsp;&nbsp;

C Prinz directs a vibrant futuristic promo for sister double act Chloe x Halle's Forgive Me - the director and artists'&nbsp;follow-up to the post-modern <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2020/05/27/chloe-x-halle-do-it-c-prinz/64987" target="_blank">Do It</a>.&nbsp;Opening with the lyrics "Don't ever ask for permission, ask for forgiveness", the fiery visual depicts the sisters dragging an unconscious, bound man to the middle of a rainforest set, backdropped by a glitchy greenscreen.&nbsp;Switching between several performance setups, the focus is very much on styling and aesthetics, with live action footage being intercut with 3D scans, irridescent VFX, and lo-fi dance cutaways.&nbsp;Refreshingly bold and stylish, the high-energy promo is a riotous trip through avant-garde concepts and unforgettable performances.&nbsp;

Once again, lockdown ends up being the mother of invention in Ariel Fish's charmingly shambolic video for JAWNY.On the one hand its a ragbag of internet -flavoured sight gags. And that would be quite good in itself, but artist and director have also thrown in some poignant stuff about the problems of finding love - especially now.&nbsp;While everyone ignores JAWNY's&nbsp;calls, internet searches throw up&nbsp;a stuffed toy bunny who doubles as a 'camgirl', an animated fruit salad - and a cynical friend who warns him against looking for love. Oh, and in the corner of his shabby apartment, his pile of dirty socks starts lipsyncing.&nbsp;“We were going to shoot a video and then we had the lockdown, so we switched up to an animated video… and then that didn’t work out. Finally, Ariel sent this crazy idea through and we chatted about it for a minute and came up with this video,” JAWNY has said of the Anything You Want video. “A quarantine love story… you can find love anywhere, anytime man.”Mainly shot at JAWNY's house and a garage, during lockdown in a socially distanced fashion. "Ariel was just a sick creative partner. She had really sick ideas and was also super collaborative with me. I felt comfortable with her and I think her and her team killed it."

Mimi Cave has directed&nbsp;a trilogy of&nbsp;live performance videos for Long Beach band&nbsp;half.alive, captured in performance with a fifteen-piece orchestra at the Capitol Studios in Los Angeles - before lockdown, of course.&nbsp;[vidtoken data:0]In each piece, Cave and her DoP&nbsp;Tom Banks make excellent use of an intimate space, utilising smooth and steady camera movement by Steadicam op Chris Loh, who&nbsp;weaves between the musicians, creating an easy-going yet exciting aesthetic.[vidtoken data:1]&nbsp;Characteristically the choreographer-turned-director also punctuates the performance element with&nbsp;unfussy choreography and other artistic elements. She&nbsp;has taken the reworked the tracks - including the 2018 hit Still Feel&nbsp;-&nbsp;and supercharged them into three&nbsp;consummate promos, with zesty energy and pure artistic passion.[vidtoken data:2]&nbsp;

Wafia celebrates a new chapter in her life in Eugene McMahon's&nbsp;lockdown video for Pick Me.&nbsp;Utilising a block colour background and a variety of self-shot footage, Wafia relaxes into a new way of life, away from worries about men or work. Instead, she is connecting with her friends over video call, hanging out as they each&nbsp;spend their days doing something they love.&nbsp;Like many lockdown videos, the locations and setups are obviously kept to a minimum, given the nature of shooting options right now. That said, each performance feels refreshingly understated and intimate, a nice contrast to the dance-challenge videos that populated our feeds at the start of lockdown.&nbsp;

Khalid and Summer Walker get&nbsp;fast and furious in Daniel Russell's high octane video for Eleven.&nbsp;Packed with vibrant colour and early 00's exuberance, the video explores a drag race across Los Angeles (with cars, not drag queens), where Khalid is pitted against a selection of eclectic characters.Glossy, smooth and oozing with production value, it's a brilliant visual complement to the enigmatic track. A high-energy choreography section at the climax of the video strengthens the 00's throwback, reminiscent of the days where budgets where wild and the ideas were even wilder.&nbsp;

Atlanta singer-songwriting sisters (and Beyoncé protegées) Chloe X Halle have their breakout hit Do It visualised in a classic-with-a-twist video by director/choreographer&nbsp;C Prinz (aka Sarah C Prinz).The Bailey sisters perform the song through a number of sumptuously art directed studio set-ups. But Prinz tweaks the notion of a conventional glossy video: camera positions reveal the edges of the sound stage; VFX suddenly intrude, at times moving the girls' around the set.Then the edit contributes to the deconstruction too, by bouncing between&nbsp;scene to scene from the start. The rule-book, to gradually reveal each set-up, has been thrown away, which will make&nbsp;it all the more interesting to its&nbsp;visually literate viewership.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Missy Elliott builds upon her brilliantly absurd videography with the Daniel Russell-directed Cool Off - featuring&nbsp;Missy and friends making performance art in a modern art museum.&nbsp;As a&nbsp;protegé of Elliott's frequent collaborator Dave Meyers, Russell has a deep understanding of the visual language and&nbsp;qualities that make a Missy Elliott video so fresh and punchy: high-energy performance, surreal concepts, cutting-edge styling. This video encompasses all of the above, with Russell's own flair thrown in.&nbsp;With a trademark beat and catchy refrain, the visual depicts Elliott as an art exhibit, on-display alongside a group of glitching, floating characters. Within moments, everyone breaks into breathless choreography, introduced by a complete change in colour palette and super-vibrant styling.&nbsp;Elliott doesn't disappoint with her performance - a quickfire flow, dynamic movement&nbsp;and impressive balance... which will all make sense when you watch it (and particularly to anyone old enough to remember Weebles... ed.)&nbsp;Drawing&nbsp;upon the groundbreaking visuals&nbsp;of her early mainstream work, the track and video capture a sense of nostalgia, whilst contemporising the themes and adding a unique perspective to the mix.&nbsp;
