The video for Very Noise by French ‘metal-electronica’ producer Gautier Serre – aka Igorrr – comes from French animation collective Meat Dept and more or less defies description.A combination of surreal humour, spectacular destruction and, body horror, delivered with extraordinary imagination and style. Genuinely amazing.

London-based Tjoff Koong Studios - that&#39;s RCA graduates Tezo Kjungdon Lee and Leeneskog - have created this super-stylish neon-hued lyric video for Banx &amp; Ranx.&nbsp;Using traditional hand-drawn 2D animation techniques and a vibrant palette, the video has an organic yet sightly otherworldly feel, offering brief glimpses into a glamorous night out, and&nbsp;lyrics presented in a handwritten style, reminiscent of Noughties design for&nbsp;Ed Banger&#39;s acts Justice and others.&nbsp;

Well, what a treat this is. Gorillaz are back and so, of course, is Jamie Hewlett&#39;s wonderful cartoon version of the band. Murdoc, 2D, Noodle and Russel&nbsp;are at once familiar, but Hewlett never lets things stay entirely the same. There&#39;s always a slight variation on what&#39;s gone before - and this in this case he&#39;s managed to go both forward and back.In some ways they are more like the original (mostly 2D)&nbsp;version, that popped out at the turn of the century, would you believe. Russel, for instance, is not a 30 foot giant any more. But then they&#39;ve also entered a whole new dimension - the video comes in two versions, and one of them is the VR/360 version of the adventure that has the band enter what appears like the classic haunted house &ndash; again, shades of the original Clint Eastwood video &ndash; before slipping through a portal into deep space, next to Saturn.[imgtoken data:1]Produced once again through Passion Pictures, the VR version of Saturnz Barz was developed through Google&#39;s own VR studio, Google Spotlight Stories - and the video is &#39;supported by YouTube&#39;. And <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVaBvyzuypw" target="_blank">the VR version</a> really is something to behold.&nbsp;

Welcome to the personal pop project of commercials and music video director Tim Hope (Coldplay, REM, Jimmy Eat World), and an awesome primal scream of a music video, where Barbie doll versions of Hope and musical collaborator Gary Le Strange get imaginatively&nbsp;homicidal with Britain's biggest blabbermouth&nbsp;DJs.Well, their cardboard cutouts anyway. It's a cri-de-coeur&nbsp;against the inane babblings of (mainly) blokes on radio that comes, says Tim Hope, from him being&nbsp;"bored of trying to get label commissioners to take an interest in [my] idiotic ideas."So he commissioned the band, the song,&nbsp;and created this weirdly intense slab of&nbsp;lo-fi&nbsp;ultraviolence&nbsp;himself. And how very satisfying it is too.

Prepare to embark on an erotic cosmic odyssey courtesy of Axel Courtiere and Poom.An exploration of the more expressionistic side of the first time a couple has sex, Courtiere uses playful imagery, suggestion, and metaphor in this mixed media voyage through space. Galaxies intertwining with naked bodies, and underwear the size of this ISS are just some of the visual adventures undertaken here. It&#39;s certainly a lot more interesting than watching an awkward fumble on a field.The interplay between the real and the fantastical here is enhanced with subtle visual cues, letting you get lost in between fantasy and reality.

Simon Landrein&#39;s&nbsp;gorgeous, simple animation for Coco Banana is a bizarre calamity of stylish sex and violence. Featuring a&nbsp;hitchhiker, a gunfight, a legally safe knock-off of Batman, and a smattering of public fellatio.Landrein&#39;s signature style across all his videos is to present the action in a square in the centre of the frame, whilst working to a very strict and limited colour palette. His style combined with his bizarre imagination makes for some striking visuals, and a lot of imagery to unpack in a two minute clip.

Lucy Needs&#39; long association with Slow Club - this is her sixth video for the band - has resulted in memorable one-shot star turns&nbsp;with <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2010/04/20/slow-club%E2%80%99s-giving-love-lucy-needs" target="_blank">Mackenzie Crook&nbsp;on Giving Up On Love</a> and <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/news/2012/06/20/slow-club-beginners-lucy-needs" target="_blank">Daniel Radcliffe on Beginners</a>. But her video for Complete Surrender brings an element definitely missing with those projects - glamour.&nbsp;&nbsp;SC&#39;s Charles&nbsp;and Rebecca have been transformed from the Sheffield indie kids of yore&nbsp;into a sophisticated couple &ndash; with&nbsp;Rebecca, in particular, the full-on&nbsp;ravishing beauty and pop video star.There&#39;s excellent photography by DoP Dave Miller, choreography by Francis Angol, to help Lucy Needs achieve a video of style and finesse - and if there&#39;s a tongue in a cheek somewhere, its barely noticeable.It&#39;s also&nbsp;Lucy&#39;s first&nbsp;video produced through Passion RAW, her new home for promos. It&#39;s a very auspicious start.

For this beautiful and&nbsp;unique promo to The Beatles&#39; rendition of Buddy Holly&#39;s Words Of Love - taken from the&nbsp;album&nbsp;On Air - Live at the BBC Vol. 2 - Passion Pictures&#39; creative director Pete Candeland and directors&nbsp;Lee Gingold and Giles Dill collaborated and researched stories and footage from 1963 - the year&nbsp;The Beatles progressed from being the opening act on tour to very much the main event.The resulting&nbsp;video captures that heady period with a combination of archive news&nbsp;footage, material shot by director Richard Lester for the Fab Four&#39;s first movie A Hard Day&#39;s Night, and&nbsp;original frames of animation that&nbsp;create a narrative, part based in the fact of the band travelling Britain during the freezing winter of 1963, with an added whimsical graphic&nbsp;element. The witty pencil-rendered drawings, partly added to the old footage, suit the song and the period, but also feel fresh as a daisy. It&nbsp;looks like&nbsp;Lennon may have added doodles to the film himself.&nbsp;&nbsp;The directing team found that the archival footage had a naturally beautiful quality about it; grainy and ridden with imperfections, so a pencil-rendered finish was the best style for the designs. &ldquo;After listening to the album, the song that really stood out for us was the cover of Buddy Holly&rsquo;s Words of Love,&quot; says&nbsp;Belinda Blacklock, executive producer at&nbsp;Passion NYC. &quot;We felt that this song really helped us tell the story of the rise of The Beatles,&nbsp;and we tried to use that contagious energy from the album for our music video.&quot;&nbsp;And&nbsp;Pete Candeland adds,&nbsp;&quot;Having worked with The Beatles in the past, it was nice to come together again with everyone at Apple Corps to create and bring to life this visionary year.&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Directing duo Sophie Diess and Jean-Christophe Saurel &ndash; aka Soandsau &ndash; have directed a marvellous, darkly comic video for She Burns by Hot Chip&#39;s Joe Goddard with Mara Carlyle on vocals.&nbsp;A man and a woman enter a room to attend to Mara, and as she begins to sing about regrettable recent events, her predicament is soon clear: she&#39;s dead. Injected with embalming fluid by the morticians, different parts of her body briefly spring to life.Filmed over a day in a flat in Peckham in London for what executive producer Russell McLean calls &quot;definitely a passion project where everyone was onboard because they wanted to be.&quot; Produced by Kim Strobl (also 1st AD), and photographed by Olivier Cariou, the grade was by Julien Baird at Finish - and this was also a rare outing in music videos for editor Paul Hardcastle.Sophie and Jean-Christophe previously worked with Mara on her video for I Blame You Not, and were pleased to get the chance to work with her again. &quot;We were asked to come up for an idea to fit the track. We liked the idea of there being frozen moments throughout, that although she is dead there are bits of her that are still alive. As she gets embalmed more of her comes to life on the screen.&quot;Jean Christophe adds: &quot;We&rsquo;re really pleased with the ambience that the promo creates. &nbsp;We put a lot of thought into how best to symbolise the world of death in a way that complimented the track and remained visually interesting. &nbsp;This was done with the help of our brilliant cast of Tom and Janet and of course the talented team of production and post crew we had on board.&quot;Sophie says: &quot;Working with Mara is an absolute pleasure. We have the upmost respect and admiration for her and her input throughout the shoot was always very positive. She is a great talent and brings with it great sensitivity.&quot;&nbsp;
