Life unfolds in the context of an extended&nbsp;road trip, in&nbsp;Maïlis' breathtaking promo for Half Moon Run.&nbsp;Journeying through a series of awe-inspiring locations, we follow band members Connor, Dylan and Devon as&nbsp;they embark on an individual but unifying road trip through nostalgia.During hours spent on a long car-trip, the consciousness is free to let emotions pass through our minds without judgement, and it is this sense of freedom that gives the visual such a sense of intimacy and significance.&nbsp;Truly captivating, impactful&nbsp;work, with some outstanding cinematography to boot.&nbsp;

Louis-Jack directs a breathtaking promo for French band EMPRS (or Empereurs).&nbsp;The video for The Void is a stirring amalgam of performance and movement, anchored by a surrealistic, otherworldly dance piece, performed by dancer Emma Belabed. She's moving within what seems like a long corridor and has the ability to float.The performance unravels in an enigmatic fashion - the camera actually looking upwards at Belabed, who is suspended on wires, on the inside of a tower -&nbsp;before the dance breaks out into a gravity-defying feat on the exterior of the&nbsp;tower.&nbsp;A bold and noteworthy introduction to EMPRS, with a strong&nbsp;concept at its core.&nbsp;

Stanley Brock directs an engrossing promo for Potter Payper.&nbsp;Tracking from left to right through a series of contained domestic sets, the video sees Payper and a cast of characters in their natural environments, interweaving narrative vignettes with intense&nbsp;performance shots.&nbsp;It's a powerful concept, influenced by society at large and the artist's journey to date, and the careful attention paid to design and executing the concept elevates the visual to one of his best yet.&nbsp;Another excellent addition to&nbsp;Potter Payper's impressive videography, and another demonstration of the skills of&nbsp;director Stanley Brock.&nbsp;

Maïlis' latest video for singer-songwriter Laroie&nbsp;explores the idea of a woman finding the energy to continue going through life, even after losing everything.&nbsp;Interweaving atmospheric shots of the artist inside a stripped-back building and glitchy digital cutaways, the aesthetic feels incredibly contemporary yet nostalgic, which matches the wistful soundscapes in the track.&nbsp;It's another evocative video from Laroie and&nbsp;Maïlis, following in the footsteps of other breathtaking collaborations like <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2023/02/02/laroie-stuck-here-ma%C3%AFlis/80204">Stuck Here&nbsp;</a>and <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2022/10/18/laroie-i-keep-hiding-way-back-ma%C3%AFlis/78825">I Keep Hiding.</a>&nbsp;

Sleepy Soul go on a musical road trip in Dustie Carter's promo for new release Self.&nbsp;Deeply introspective, the track explores the&nbsp;loneliness and insecurity that accompanies the artist's experience of being in their mid twenties.&nbsp;The coming of age themes&nbsp;are&nbsp;paired with an understated, laidback promo that gives viewers a glimpse into the duo's world, as their car drives down the narrow roads of a small Midwestern highway, in&nbsp;Saint Louis, Missouri.Regular collaborator&nbsp;Mike Dalton lays down a desaturated, soft aesthetic that balances dreamy vibes with a sense of uncomfortable realism, which is a perfect fit for the angsty concept.&nbsp;

Two lovers are on the run from the law in Dustie Carter's mesmerising promo for German band Lovebyrd's Wanna Die Before You Do.&nbsp;Following their otherworldly video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2020/04/03/vancouver-china-maybe-its-best-dustie-carter/64136">Vancouver China</a> back in May, Carter and DoP Mike Dalton carry over the colour-washed hazy style that made it so impactful, and elevate the drama to new heights.&nbsp;&nbsp;The look of the video balances nostalgia and Americana, and it feels as if we are&nbsp;almost watching someone else's memories in our own minds. Shot on Super 8mm film, the video is absolutely stunning in its execution, and perfectly encapsulates the sense of regret and heartbreak in the track.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]DUSTIE CARTER:“I Wanna Die Before You&nbsp;is essentially a short film about two lovers on the run from the law.&nbsp;As one bleeds out in the rear seat, the other, riddled with guilt for allowing this to happen attempts to elude the police.&nbsp; The concept immediately resonated with the band and I. The story and song share a kindred tone and once we added the visuals we could sense the harmony. Looking at the finished piece, it is hard to imagine one existing without the other.&nbsp;<blockquote>Super 8 not only gave us the look and texture we were going for, but also created a new atmosphere on set.</blockquote>"From the beginning Mike (DP) and I knew how important the look would be in order to meld with the song's tone. After talking with Mike, we decide to go for it and shoot on Super 8mm film. The film not only gave us the look and texture we were going for, but also created a new atmosphere on set. I found it allowed me to be completely present with the actors since I wasn't watching a monitor, and forced me to stay closely connected with the story, thinking about every edit since the amount of film we had was limited. This really encouraged me to trust my gut as a director.”[imgtoken data:2]MIKE DALTON:&nbsp;"In the early stages of pre-production, Dustin and I knew that we wanted to capture the driving scenes all in-studio using rear projection and poor man’s process lighting. We had only done this process once in the past (without rear projection), and while it turned out fairly convincing then, we learned plenty of valuable lessons for our next go. With those learned lessons and our incredibly talented gaffer, Tim Hawn at our side, we had the confidence we needed to pull this off.<blockquote>We wanted to capture the driving scenes all in-studio using rear projection... and decided we needed to shoot our own plates.</blockquote>"One of the more challenging parts to this process was sourcing the background plates we would end up projecting for the driving scenes. Dustin and I searched multiple stock footage websites, but ultimately decided that we needed to shoot our own plates as we had a very specific look in mind."We ended up finding the perfect locations for the driving scenes and the opening scene and scheduled a couple evenings to shoot out of our studios trusty minivan. For the front plate we mounted via RigWheels Cloud Mount, a Black Magic Pocket Cinema 4k to the hood. The side plates were captured with Panasonic GH5’s. And finally, the back plate, was captured with the Red Helium on a Freefly Movi Pro."This project couldn't have been done without an extreme level of trust and collaboration between everyone. Because Lovebyrd are based out of Germany, we collaborated via Facetime/Zoom/Instagram every step of the way - finalizing the script, casting, wardrobe, production, and finally post. Add to this, production wrapped just days before a state-wide stay-at-home order went into place due to COVID-19. This meant that Sam and Brian (colourist) had to handle all of the post remotely, utilizing frame.io and Zoom chats to stay connected with myself, Mike, and the band, as we brought the piece to life."[imgtoken data:3]
