Broken Antenna&#39;s clip for Swet&nbsp;Shop Boys is an explosive celebration of British Asian culture.Riz Ahmed and Himanshu Suri, supported by a cast of Asian youth are carrying fireworks, illuminated&nbsp;by drones and occupying estates in a very intentional play on prejudice. Broken Antenna is setting up a wry bait-and-switch: nothing sinister is about to take place, despite the ideas an audience might get from the images presented to them. The cast light up the night sky in celebration of culture and community, Diwali Style.Swet&nbsp;Shop Boys and Broken Antenna here delivering a distinct piece of political commentary.

If you thought the&nbsp;video for <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2014/06/20/throne-tharsis-sleeps-nicos-livesey-tom-bunker" target="_blank">Thone&#39;s Tharsis Sleeps</a> - made up of individual frames created entirely on industrial weaving machines - was a unique achievement that could never be matched &ndash; well, you were right. But Tharsis Sleeps&#39; co-director&nbsp;Nicos Livesey has now delivered another slab of awesome animation achievement.&nbsp;His video&nbsp;for rock band Radkey&#39;s Glore is&nbsp;joyous piledriver of a video highlighting the untramelled nutty&nbsp;delights of claymation.Made for the revamped Random Acts on Channel 4, Nicos brings us a&nbsp;breakneck journey of psychedleic destruction, through deranged versions of Radkey&#39;s favourite and most hated TV moments&nbsp;- incorporating a few nods to a few lightly-disguised icons &ndash; all crammed into just over two punk rock&nbsp;minutes...Harking back to the great old days of Jackie Wilson&#39;s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CTs8a7dVa0" target="_blank">Reet Petite</a> and The Housemartins, and using a variety of claymation techniques influenced by pioneers such as Bruce Bickford and David Daniels,&nbsp;Nicos teamed up with&nbsp;&lsquo;claysplotation artist&rsquo; Lee Hardcastle, working as an animation tag-team,&nbsp;until they realised they needed more animators - and lots more interns &ndash;&nbsp;for a lot of weeks...For all you animation nerds,&nbsp;the&nbsp;stats make impressive reading: it took 10 weeks from start to finish, 5 stop-motion animators on 10-12 hour days, 18 interns, two 5am starts; two 5am finishes; one all-nighter;&nbsp;435 bars of clay, &quot;which weighs as much as <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H52l8HINuDA" target="_blank">this man is deadlifting</a>&quot;, two bottles of factor 50 kids suncream); and &quot;miraculously only one trip to the pub.&quot; That last one is quite hard to believe.[imgtoken data:1]

Radkey 'Glore' by Nicos Livesey

Radkey - Glore

Zoo Kid is just 16 and precocious enough to be releasing his first single, Out Getting Ribs, on indie label House Anxiety. He also has a lovely quiff that's a lot more indie than La Roux's.
