Raja Virdi directs his latest video for regular collaborator Holly Humberstone - another example of the artist delivering a charismatic performance in a scenario&nbsp;of unfolding dramatic tension.&nbsp;In fact, for The Walls Are Way Too Thin, Raja and Holly are channelling&nbsp;Die Hard, no less. We find Holly frantically crawling through a vent, having seemingly set the place on fire.Yippee-aye-oh...[imgtoken data:1]

Raja Virdi directs another&nbsp;of his signature one-shot live performances, this time for Maisie Peters' US&nbsp;TV debut on The Late Late Show with James Corden, featuring James Bay.Backdropped against a haunting forest set with various lighting effects, the angsty performance is buzzing with an enigmatic energy, and aesthetically reminiscent of a dark fairytale.&nbsp;It's an accomplished debut which packs an emotional punch, and a befitting showcase for a promising up and coming talent.&nbsp;

Raja Virdi directs and shoots the first music video in a new campaign, for regular collaborator Holly Humberstone.The suitably haunting visual for Haunted House is centred on&nbsp;Holly's family home, with both of her parents making guest appearances.The video is built from surrealistic elements, with a dark and dangerous aesthetic shining through in the cinematography, whilst a&nbsp;custom rig which spins Holly upside down adds an otherworldly vibe to the concept.&nbsp;A perfect amalgamation of art direction, lighting, camera movement and Virdi's top-notch directing skills, this is a brilliant interpretation of the stirring track.

Holly Humberstone: Falling Asleep at the Wheel

Raja Virdi directs his fifth music promo for Passenger, this time a performance-led piece in the Scottish Highlands, for the wistful track Sword From The Stone.&nbsp;&nbsp;The video opens with Michael David Rosenberg - aka Passenger - in a stark, claustrophobic interior, before transitioning&nbsp;to the spectacular landscapes of the Highlands.&nbsp;Exuding a sense of freedom and escapism, the video was shot over two and a half days in September, combining drone footage and handheld work by DoP Pieter Snyman. Virdi's regular colourist Connor Coolbear adds a final layer of polish, with&nbsp;his dramatic yet considered grade.&nbsp;

We're back in the working men's club for the final part of a trilogy of films for Passenger, directed by Raja Virdi. And after <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2020/11/04/passenger-song-drunk-and-broken-hearted-raja-virdi/67614" target="_blank">A Song For The Drunk And Brokenhearted</a>&nbsp;and <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2020/11/16/passenger-suzanne-raja-virdi/67881" target="_blank">Suzanne</a>, Remember To Forget focusses upon an individual in the club who has had a few drinks too many, but remains surprisingly graceful on his feet.Brett Jones plays the drunk who staggers and sways around the bar with unusual elegance, and then engages with Passenger and his band's performance with endearing gusto, and eventually draws the rest of the club into a joyful dance routine.With choreographed by Jamie Neale, and a noteworthy performance from the nimble Jones - who has made a few good videos in his time, including for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2014/07/15/jungle-time-oliver-hadlee-pearch/27726" target="_blank">Jungle's Time</a>&nbsp;- Raja Virdi aims for that point between&nbsp;gritty realism and fantasy and hits the mark with this poignant song-and-dance video.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Raja Virdi directs another of his signature one-shot live performances, this time for Becky Hill's sensational hit Space.Taking inspiration from the work of Olafur Eliasson in terms of the gradients and colours, Virdi lights the studio&nbsp;in a pastel colour palette.&nbsp;The use of perspective&nbsp;in the art direction helps&nbsp;reflect&nbsp;the themes and ideas present in the track, and also ties&nbsp;the concept back to the official video, with cascading staircases and inspired use of negative space.

Mila Austin's second music video for pop duo Apre is about the things in life - everyday problems to everyday vices -&nbsp;that hold you back.Frontman&nbsp;Charlie Brown encounters examples of these distractions as he moves through a house that teeters between reality and dreamworld - a metaphor for the singer's state of mind.This is Austin's director's cut, including a&nbsp;fast and furious&nbsp;drinking session&nbsp;that explains Brown's wobbly legs in the latter stages, before he gets to the point of I Know I'll Find It, that&nbsp;the only thing stopping him is himself.

Holly Humberstone runs through the grounds of a deserted factory before picking up her guitar to perform three songs in the latest collaboration between the young singer-songwriter and Raja Virdi - here co-directing with Holly's creative director Josh Sanger.Called On The Run, this 14 minute&nbsp;live performance film, combines Holly's solo playing of songs from her&nbsp;Falling Asleep At The Wheel EP with a dramatic edge, that follows on from her last video, where she left a car on fire in a field.It's a hugely effective showcase of her musical talent, and another example of how Raja&nbsp;Virdi continues to push creative boundaries of the live video genre.

Holly Humberstone - On The Run (Short Film)

Raja Virdi directs his second in a trilogy of films for Passenger, with the emotionally affecting promo for Suzanne.The film is set in the 1950s, and follows&nbsp;a boy-meets-girl love story, with the concept that memories can last a lifetime, but time is limited. The narrative is a familiar one, but remarkable performances from the cast - in both present and past timelines - tie&nbsp;the concept together with a universal sense of regret and yearning.&nbsp;DoP Pieter Snyman captures a bubbly, youthful energy with swathes of golden light and plenty of intimate closeups, which contrasts with the present day environment - a cold, blue and lifeless room, which has lost any sense of fun or contentment, and has no attachment to the vivid memories in her head.&nbsp;The appearance of Passenger as the party band also adds a layer of meaning. They are present in both the past and present timelines - more of a ghost of a memory than a real physical presence, a soundtrack to a time which can no longer be experienced.&nbsp;

Raja Virdi directs his second video for Passenger, for the poignant A Song For The Drunk&nbsp;And Broken Hearted.&nbsp;Taking inspiration from Joker, we see Passenger and his band - all in clown make-up - play&nbsp;to an uninterested social club audience - intercut&nbsp;with&nbsp;multiple vignettes depicting the artist's&nbsp;unhappiness and willing to escape.The lovely cinematography by Pieter Synmanis the embodiment of downbeat mood of the song, with a depressed green colour palette and grimy aesthetic, creating a dichotomy between the seemingly upbeat music and the dark narrative.&nbsp;

Mila Austin directs an intimate promo for Apre, inspired by Magritte's 1928 painting The Lovers.The video for Without Your Love explores a romantic situation in which the couple - played by&nbsp;Finetta Mikolajska and&nbsp;Jaih Betote - focussing on division and obstacles. They are shown trying to connect, but getting repeatedly blocked by outside forces.Austin - who has built a relationship with the band by working on their stills and video content - uses quirky props and styling to further the narrative, paying homage to the awkwardness and drama seen in the iconic painting.And in a progression from her previous work with the band, this also features a strongly symmetrical performance set-up of the alt-pop duo.&nbsp;

Following on from the double live video he recently created for her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Raja Virdi directs another signature one-take video for emerging talent Holly Humberstone. And this one for Drop Dead is&nbsp;another atmospheric night-time affair - with an extra element of fiery drama.From first to last, Holly stares down the camera as she performs the song, donning a helmet to drive a go-kart across a field, arriving at the beefed-up Range Rover that appears in <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2020/08/14/holly-humberstone-overkill-falling-asleep-wheel-raja-virdi/66135" target="_blank">the Kimmel video</a>&nbsp;and her and Virdi's previous collaboration, the official video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2020/03/23/holly-humberstone-falling-asleep-wheel-raja-virdi/63923" target="_blank">Falling Asleep At The Wheel</a>. Then she&nbsp;sets the car&nbsp;alight, and it burns brightly behind her as Holly keeps on moving.It's a big climax to another impressive&nbsp;video for the Nottingham-born singer-songwriter.&nbsp;Just not sure if her dad is going to be too pleased...

Holly Humberstone is storming the music industry right now and has just had her USA television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live!,&nbsp;with the live performance directed and DoP'd by Raja Virdi in his signature one shot style."I've been working with Holly across all of her videos and it's been such a lovely collaboration, especially being able to shoot in both of our hometowns," says Virdi. "She's an insane talent and she's so deserving of the success thus far. It really is a labour of love for everyone involved and the creative collaboration between everyone is fantastic.Josh (Holly's manager and creative collaborator) rang me up and told me to get the crew in for a live performance that is going to hopefully be on a huge platform and shake things up massively. Eventually I find out that the huge platform is&nbsp;Jimmy Kimmel Live!,&nbsp;which is insane at this early stage of Hol's career - so it's very exciting for everyone involved."We got the crew in and we made this piece, which is really special to me. I wanted to make sure we hit all the marks of Holly's story visually and capturing the performance in the most honest way. I have to give a huge shout out to my crew (whom I couldn't do any of this without); my consistent operator Beau Pritchard-James for nailing a six minute oner on AR, time and time again, my gaffer Jordan for always having my back on these Holly videos and making sure our look is consistent, Lucas for always keeping it sharp, the best live video soundie (in my opinion) Anthony Leung for making this sound amazing with hiding microphones everywhere.&nbsp;And&nbsp;finally to my colourist Connor for always providing the most beautiful grade."I cannot wait to see what else we can muster up on this Holly project!"

And keep an eye out for Passenger - real name Michael Rosenberg - in a 'blink and you'll miss it' cameo around the halfway mark.&nbsp;
