The video sees two versions of the singer running and driving to the same location - ending with the Bentley-driving Keating meeting up with his 'other self'.

For new single Shine A Light, McFly got together with Phil Griffin who called upon their mammoth fanbase to help out with the shoot at Three Mills Studios in East London.
"It was different because we live web-streamed the whole day as a clue to the band's location," says Phil. "By keeping an eye on the web stream, the fans could follow clues and find the shoot. The first 150 to find the location got to be in the audience.
"We had 10,000 hits on the day with an average audience of 5000 watching at any one time. It was a bit mad but worked.
"The fans then started uploading their own favourite bits of the day to Youtube - over a 100 different clips the last time I looked. The finished video has been up a week and taken over 350,000 hits. I think it was interesting because we invited the fans into the process - made them a part of what made the video."

McFly’s Shine A Light featuring Taio Cruz by Phil Griffin

McFly’s-Shine-A-Light-featuring-Taio-Cruz-by-Phil-Griffin

A sexy, pumped-up performance plus a suspenseful-romantic narrative for the bodacious Vanessa Amorosi - directed by Phil Griffin.
It represents Phil's return to UK promos, and his first team-up with producer Mikey Levelle, now head of music at Shameless, Park Village's new music division.
"I noticed Vanessa while working in Australia where she's a massive artist," says Phil. "My approach always starts with a collaboration so with Vanessa's trust we went about the job of stripping back her image to create a sensual and accessible Vanessa. I like to combine handheld and long lens imagery with intimate performance so I really enjoyed provoking the feisty performance from this enigmatic Antipodean superstar."
Shot in and around East London on 16mm with a full crew, several locations were covered in a single day by virtue of shooting the action car in transit between locations. "Otherwise a considerable amount of time would have been lost to the loveable London traffic," notes Mikey Levelle. "The male lead, Neil Lumberg, was cast only days before the shoot and both him and Vanessa were hard working, patient and professional throughout, with art department and wardrobe helping the viewer to differ between a narrative and performance. 
"It was also great to work with Phil, having discussed doing so for a number of months," Mikey continues. "His artistic and photographic background as well as his vast experience with choreography helped the artist achieve her best performance and make it an enjoyable shoot."

Boyzone’s Gave It All Away by Phil Griffin

Phil Griffin, former ultra-prolific purveyor of the British Pop Vid, makes his big break- through into Rock, with Kings of Leon.
Walls do indeed come tumbling down. Phil shot the band in Nashville, then added the scorching VFX at Rushes back in London.
The Rushes team led by Leo Weston comped the band in front of an exploding wall, then added fire, explosions, debris, bricks, and lighting effects. Simone Grattarola graded it, and he says, "This was a really exciting project to work on... I think people will be - excuse the pun - blown away by it."

Kings of Leon’s Notion by Phil Griffin

Phil Griffin's latest video uses Italian superstar Eros Ramazzotti's heartfelt piano and vocal performance as the basis for a deceptively simple visual device, quite possibly based on Paul Klee's declaration that art was taking a 'line for a walk'. 
The video uses a single, black animated line to sketch the world it inhabits, telling a linear story of a young boy's journey into manhood.
