Oscar Sansom

Director Oscar Sansom delivers another striking visual work for Biffy Clyro,&nbsp;this time in the form of a ten-minute long concept encapsulating two tracks.&nbsp;The first segment of the video&nbsp;is a paint-drenched performance concept, featuring the group in an industrial warehouse, playing whilst kicking, throwing and splattering blue paint everywhere.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;The second part of the video takes a more abstract, surreal turn, narratively exploring a cult-like group in the forest, with glitchy vignettes of people running away, circling the group and the appearance of enigmatic black squares floating in the atmosphere.&nbsp;A regular collaborator with the band, Oscar has created a truly striking work here which features some incredible visual moments, intriguing storytelling, and explosive (and at times extremely&nbsp;messy) band performance.[imgtoken data:2]

Oscar Sansom captures a Royal Blood performance for a US talk show, with the excellent staging&nbsp;of Trouble's Coming for&nbsp;The Late Late Show with James Corden.Boasting bold production design and a pronounced orange and blue colour palette, the curved lighting rigs and staging compliment the dynamic cinematography.&nbsp;The saturated aesthetic has an almost 80s neon feel, which matches the band's effortlessly cool performance.&nbsp;"I really wanted to show how incredible Royal Blood are live," states Sansom. "This was the first live performance the guys have done since the release of the new album (Typhoons) and so we wanted to make something really exciting visually,&nbsp;but it was also really important to me that we didn't distract the focus from the band's performance."&nbsp;

Oscar Sansom directs a melancholic live promo for Liam Gallagher's All You're Dreaming Of.&nbsp;Shot for&nbsp;The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, the film sees the legendary ex-Oasis frontman perform at sunset on a barge, as it sails&nbsp;up the river Thames into central London.The stunning cinematography and&nbsp;dramatic location come together to form a truly unforgettable moment.Gallagher's vocal chops are as good as they've ever been, and the performance is nothing short of magical, exuding an understated energy and a slice of carefree nostalgia.&nbsp;"Working on this film with Liam has been one of those true once in a lifetime experiences," says&nbsp;Sansom. "The logistics of coordinating and undertaking the project has been extremely complicated but when it actually came to the moment of the performance starting, it felt kind of effortless."Liam is without doubt one of the greatest frontmen of our generation and we wanted to create something unforgettable for this show. I remember that moment going through the Thames Barrier at the start of the show and just thinking; this is going to be something really special..."

Oscar Sansom has collaborated with&nbsp;Brighton rockers Royal Blood on two performances for American talk shows and here's the first: a frenetic and striking version of their single Typhoons for ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live."Working with a band like Royal Blood is just a joy as a director," says Sansom, who has also created live music films for&nbsp;Biffy Clyro and Liam Gallagher."Mike and Ben are such incredible musicians and performers that they just blow me away every time we work together. It makes my job a lot easier and I am really just focussed on trying to find the best way to translate the energy of their live shows through the lens."&nbsp;&nbsp;

Oscar Sansom has created an explosively creative, characteristically energetic video for Biffy Clyro’s Tiny Indoor Fireworks, a mix of live action performance shot during lockdown, and striking animation styles.Sansom's third promo for the band is somewhat different to previous collaborations for fairly obvious reasons, with him directing remotely and the band having to recruit their 'better halves' in helping to shoot the live action footage, using custom-made rigs designed for the project. And despite the domestic settings, the video skilfully brings the band together, captures the band's trademark energy as performers.Meanwhile, the dreamlike animated scenes - produced by The 2D Workshop - reference internal creative struggles, but with an optimistic sense of release that appears forward looking... ‘dreaming of better days’.[imgtoken data:1]

Following the brilliant video for&nbsp;Born Cold - nominated for best video at the Heavy Music Awards 2020&nbsp;-&nbsp;director Oscar Sansom returns to direct Cyanide, the second instalment in&nbsp;a trilogy of videos for Creeper.&nbsp;This promo for Cyanide&nbsp;delivers a captivating performance for the TV cameras from the band, with frontman Will Gould's rock 'n roll star persona on full display,&nbsp;while the video also hints at other&nbsp;aspects of the album's narrative.DP&nbsp;David Liddell contrasts the almost clinical lighting of the band performance with a more subdued setup backstage, creating a&nbsp;striking juxtaposition, whilst utilising plenty of camera movement to reflect the hyperactive energy of Gould's performance.

Oscar Sansom releases the first video from his collaboration with Creeper for&nbsp;theatrical nightmare Born Cold.Blending elements of theatre and performance with cinematic vignettes, the visual is an introduction to a new era for the group, and&nbsp;to a darker set of characters and themes. Thematically borrowing elements from dystopian fiction, glam rock and iconic videos in the genre, it's a visual feast that promises to expand and deliver even wilder imagery in the chapters that follow.&nbsp;

Oscar Sansom and Ciaran Lyons, directing colleagues at The Forest Of Black, have collaborated for the first time as a directing team on this lovely video for Belle &amp; Sebastian's Poor Boy.They take us to a classic Glasgow tenement, where a young lad takes a voyeuristic interest in the strange behaviour of his neighbours (including several members of B&amp;S).Like a very eccentric Glaswegian Rear Window, and nicely bolsters the burgeoning reputations of both Sansom and Lyons in one fell swoop.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Michael Sherrington celebrates humanity in a simple and pure set-up for Belle &amp; Sebastian.Sherrington&#39;s video for I&#39;ll Be Your Pilot (from the Scottish band&#39;s new album How To Solve Our Human Problems, Pt 2) situates his cast in a photographic studio and invites his subjects to enjoy some&nbsp;peaceful contemplation. And Davd Lidell&#39;s luminous cinematography contributes greatly to the viewer&#39;s experience.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Amazons got all scratched up by Oscar Sansom and lived to tell the tale.With a performance shot on 16mm, Sansom took to "mutilating the negative" as he puts it. In fact, he has shown terrific delicacy in enhancing the power of the performance with physical marks on the neg. &nbsp;

Oscar Sansom strips things down to the bare essentials in this hazy, intimate analogue portrait of Biffy Clyro&#39;s Simon Neil.Shot on 16mm film in and around the singer&#39;s home, the video is a soft-focus, close-up study of Simon in which Oscar gives the lyrics room to contextualise the images.

Director Oscar Sansom takes the Peep Show approach &ndash;&nbsp;with added VFX &ndash; for his video for Twin Atlantic&#39;s anthemic The Chaser. It&#39;s a&nbsp;frenetic, multi-perspective POV video set around a single hedonistic evening in a neon-saturated nightclub. And it was shot in the same club in Glasgow&nbsp;that the band played their first show.&nbsp;

Oscar Sansom goes for a simple but striking approach for Newton Faulkner&#39;s new video, launching the artist&#39;s new album Human Love.It sees a&nbsp;stripped-back, emotional performance from Newton Faulkner singing&nbsp;his&nbsp;cover of&nbsp;Major Lazor&#39;s&nbsp;Get Free.&nbsp;As Newton starts lopping off great chunks of his signature red dreadlocks the camera sweeps around him to examine the procedure&nbsp;in detail.&nbsp;The emotion playing out on his face ranges from fear to pain to surprise, and definitely some exhilaration as the pile of hair grows. Finally coming to rest on his sharp new look, a wry smile suggests Newton is back and ready to&nbsp;surprise us.&nbsp;

Newton Faulkner 'Get Free' by Oscar Sansom

Newton-Faulkner-'Get-Free'-by-Oscar-Sansom

Ciaran Lyons explores the territory between stills photography and animation in his impressive&nbsp;two-part film Sleepwalker, which serves as a promo for two tracks by Hot Since 82 (aka Leeds-based DJ and producer Dan Padley), Restless and The Core.With the influence of animation genius Jan Svankmeyer clearly evident, the clever bit is how, rather than sequential, the two parts form a kind of film palindrome. In the Restless video, a sleepwalker is pulled by a string through an urban hinterland, past dream images and a&nbsp;sleepwalking woman, towards a high-rise, and into that woman&#39;s bedroom. In The Core, the woman makes the return journey... &nbsp;
