Director

Nick Carter

Nick Carter's video for musician and DJ Dimension and singer Karen Harding is a&nbsp;stripped-back live performance elevated to something cinematic and expansive.Set within AIR Studios' iconic Lyndhurst Hall in North London, the film leans into contrast - pairing the scale and grandeur of the space with an intimate, emotionally-led performance of Guardian Angel. Strings, live instrumentation and Harding’s vocal take centre stage, while Dimension’s production is reinterpreted with a softer, more human touch.It's an expansive, absorbing visual, which allows viewers to meditate on the performance through&nbsp;gently lingering shots and a breezy edit. Lovely work.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

Nick Carter directs a striking visual interpretation of Sara Landry and Alt8's hard techno anthem around dancer&nbsp;Aimée Ruhinda's vibrant performance.With a combination of dynamic choreography and performance by Ruhinda - who embodies the music's driving intensity - and the atmospheric industrial setting, Carter creates a powerful synergy&nbsp;between sound and movement, with visuals that&nbsp;mirror the underground roots of the track, as both the director and DoP.With a visual palette dominated by shadowy tones, interspersed with vivid flashes of light that punctuate the track’s crescendos,&nbsp;the video for&nbsp;Heaven&nbsp;not only amplifies the track’s emotional impact but also cements Sara Landry’s place as a defining voice in hard dance.[imgtoken data:1]

Sara Landry, Alt8 'Heaven' by Nick Carter

Nick Carter and&nbsp;Obaro Ejimiwe - aka Ghostpoet - co-direct&nbsp;a&nbsp;thought-provoking promo for the artist's&nbsp;track Oh Lord!Taken from the twice Mercury Prize-nominated artist's new EP Am I The Change I Wish To See?, the song&nbsp;was inspired by a moment of contemplation about what it would look like to see Black people enjoying themselves in Heaven. And for its part, the video takes the viewer on a communal journey that transcends the conventional depiction of Heaven.Instead of portraying the final destination, it envisions an intermediary space - a spiritual halfway point where the essential inner work required to reach Heaven is carried out.&nbsp;This space encourages viewers to think, connect, forgive, show love, and find self-acceptance- elements we often struggle with in our daily lives.Imbued with an aesthetic inspired by Romanticism-era art, the video is atmospheric and arresting, feeling almost liminal in its presentation.&nbsp;With a heavy focus on art direction and textural, abstract cinematography, it's an absorbing visual that leans into the themes of the concept.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;
