Just two guys, father and son, having a friendly game of tennis under floodlights... But it all gets thoroughly, wonderfully nasty in Michael Lawrence and Oliver Goodrum&#39;s video for Yuck&#39;s Middle Sea, as dysfunctional&nbsp;inter-generational rivalry comes to the fore.With the casting of Yuck&#39;s Seth Rogen-lookalike drummer Jonny Rogoff as the younger man, and a Sydney Pollack lookalik actor as his dad, this has a classic American comedy,&nbsp;almost Woody Allen feel about it - even though it was&nbsp;actually captured at the Eastbourne tennis club (where top women tennis players normally play a pre-Wimbledon tournament every year).&nbsp;It was also a one-off pairing of the prolific Michael Lawrence, who came to this job during a long American tour, pulling his friend Oliver Goodrum on board, when confronted with a quite a specific brief involving Jonny&#39;s tennis playing from the label (as Michael explains on the entertaining BTS film also here).&nbsp;And the&nbsp;end result is very amusing indeed, for a splendid slab of Yuck alt-rock...&nbsp;

Oliver Goodrum's second promo for Casually Sunshine tells a tale of inner-city hell masking the emotive soundtrack of Consequences Of The Kill.
Bolstered by an impressive cast that would be equally at home in a full-scale tv drama, the adventurous mini-movie is beautifully lensed by Justin Brown.

Shot earlier this year on a freezing February night, Oliver Goodrum's inventive promo for Soul Intent, sees actor Jack Davis giving it his all to the hypnotic beats of Be Strong.
Goodrum: "It was a team effort - Justin Brown delivered with a microscopic amount of lighting, Claire McGonigal had a long painful task of editing the whole mess together, Toby Tomkins did a great job matching two very different sets of rushes and Iain Murray did an amazing subtle job on the very small amount of post we did."

Soul Intent’s Be Strong by Oliver Goodrum

Oliver Goodrum's promo for this introspective tune from Casually Sunshine highlights the intense emotion and sparseness of the track by placing singer Alexander Craig in a remote, empty house.

Marco Puig on making the video for Kooks' Sway
"Sway is all about losing a friend. I wanted to create a film which explored how losing someone close to you really felt; it feels shit!
"In the promo we see an underground dressing room tear itself apart. I guess the dressing room is a metaphor for Luke's heart - it breaks up till Luke is left alone with nothing. I decided to put Luke in a chain mail shirt to again emphasize the idea of him trying to protect his heart, but even that comes off at the end.
"All the effects are done in-camera. Paul Mann at Machine Shop did an amazing job. I just kept asking for more and more, and he just kept giving me more. He's my second favourite person.
"The first is Tom Gander, the production designer, who did an incredible job. Working as a production designer myself for the last ten years, I think I may have been a little bit of a control freak when it came to the set! The ceiling being blown off has to be one of the most fun moments on the shoot. We had loads of SFX hands up in the gantry running at break neck speed, pulling wires attached to the panels below. I was also really pleased with the long tracking shot through the debris.
"Olly Goodrum, the producer managed to persuade ten students from Bournemouth College to come down, be 'mummified' in black drapes and puppeteer huge sections of broken set whilst two dolleys hurtled past them.
"Denzil Armour-Brown made everything look really beautiful. I wanted to make something that looked like film, not this shitty crisp video I see everywhere else. Denzil really embraced the early Wong Kar-wai look I was trying to achieve. We pushed the stock to the extreme and used uncoated lenses from the 1940's.
"Finally Simon Hargood (The Quarry) did an incredible job in the edit. I think he took the film to a whole new level. I love working with Simon cause he gets so involved in a project, really making the work his own. All in all I loved directing my first ever promo. And I can't wait to make another!"

The Kooks’ Sway by Marco Puig

The setting is wintry, the mood is bleak, and it may well strike fear into your very being. But try not to let the British summer get you down.
Here's Olly Goodrum's impressive video for Al McKay's Spires Of St. Pancras. In truth, it's a bit of a bone-chiller too, featuring, as it does, someone who's buried alive. But it's well worth a look.
"The video was shot in one day on Wheathampstead Common, just the DP and myself," explains Olly. "We went there the day before to dig the hole - the park ranger came across us during the shoot and told us off, but he didn't fancy filling in the hole so let us be.
"Mick (the grave actor) was buried to his waist, leaving an air hole at his feet for over an hour. He was a very good sport. It was shot on a Sony Z1 with no other equipment - I had to climb trees to get the top shots!"
