Jacek Zmarz directs a dreamlike promo for Chartreuse, which&nbsp;sees a handful of characters each wrapped in their own mini narratives, wondering around a mysterious forest. .&nbsp;The video for Switch It On, Switch It Off is built around the central image of a parachutist who hasn't quite stuck his landing,&nbsp; presented as an interwoven montage of surreal dreamscapes, connected by a sense of whimsical wonder.&nbsp;"The video is inspired mainly by some Tarkovsky films and a little cottage that I visited a couple times as a kid," Zmarz mentions. "The image of the parachute diver was always there for me when listening to the song, and him getting carried away became the central point on which we built the rest of the video."I love the song's musical fluctuations and lyrics that sometimes felt like an internal monologue, and I wanted the video to feel like an exploration of these types of private and tender moments, things that can run away in your head until something happens in the real world and snaps you out of it."

Slane directs a touching promo for&nbsp;Shaun Farrugia, exploring mental health and the struggle to reach out for help.&nbsp;The beachside video sees dancer/choreographer duo&nbsp;Emma Farnell Watson and&nbsp;Waddah Sinada perform an intimate routine, reflecting the push-pull of a relationship and the pressures of contemporary life.&nbsp;"The video&nbsp;is a dizzying, passionate, emotional tale of a man who refuses to seek help with his chronic anxiety," director Slane mentions. "Shaun anchors the film as we see him perform on the same blustery beach throughout."

Hora Bolz directs an impressive music film for El Perro, consisting of visuals for the tracks&nbsp;Call Me When You're Home and Let Me Think That Again.Filmed in southern Spain, the concept is a surrealist twist to the classic Sword Of Damocles story: a couple of outlaws&nbsp;whose life is controlled by destiny and anxiety&nbsp;have to make a decision, to help&nbsp;them understand the true definition of their relationship."The idea for this came hand-in-hand with the location," explains Bolz.&nbsp;"It was really important for me to create a world that felt realistic enough so the surreal elements in it felt authentic. Like when you wake up from a dream, and you need to take a moment to understand what’s going on."For me, the best part when watching a movie - or any art piece -&nbsp;is the interpretation. That’s why I wanted this music video to be like a riddle. It had to be fun for you to decipher, and for me to see what you’ve found."DoP&nbsp;Benjamin Cotgrove adds that the video was shot in extremely testing conditions. "We ended up shooting at the height of summer during 40 degree celsius heat - at times the sun was pretty unbearable," he says. "I knew shooting on 16mm the stock wouldn’t miss a beat and even with our schedule forcing us to shoot when the sun was high noon, film helped to balance the crude, raw sun on the face of our cast."We had an incredible local crew who were not unfamiliar with these conditions and knew exactly how to support us through this: keep a cooler bag ready for the film."

Jacek Zmarz directs a high-energy promo for&nbsp;Neue Grafik X Brother Portrait X Xungo.The video for Black is a textural, multi-layered affair, splicing mesmerising vignettes and projected backgrounds together in a dynamic way.&nbsp;Stirring and engaging, it's a video that demands your attention and pulls you into the ethereal dreamworld on-screen."I was really keen to have a performance that captured the track's raw energy," says Zmarz.&nbsp;"As we were filming mostly at Total Refreshment Centre - where the track was recorded - projection felt like the right way to go about it."I wanted to take that tight space to somewhere more abstract and intense. Try to&nbsp;visually capture the intensity of recording such a powerful and what feels like a personal piece of music. Using light, we were trying to visually claw at the song's central themes, with silhouettes and shadows creating a multi-faceted space for echoes of the word 'black'."&nbsp;

C. Yuhki Oka directs an evocative promo for&nbsp;Malik Diao X Fred Red.&nbsp;The video for Dighnasty takes the form of a visual poem, exploring how the mind can&nbsp;wander around and what happens if it can't find its way back home.The enigmatic narrative is presented through movement and character, with a group of individuals who transcend the present moment in time, in surrender to a higher power or meaning.&nbsp;"Some call it a soul, some call it energy, some call it a ghost - but the idea of mind and body connect them all," Yukhi explains.&nbsp;"In every culture and religion, there is always some kind of term that represents us as humans rather than the flesh and body that we live in."From the eccentric styling through to the minacious red lighting in the latter part of the video, it's a stirring vision that commands viewer's full attention.&nbsp;

Simon Lane directs an impressive one-take all-live promo for Cian Ducrot's version of Leonard Cohen's classic Hallelujah.&nbsp;Featuring the&nbsp;Royal Northern College Of Music Student Choir, the video sees the artist playing at a piano in an empty, disused swimming pool, as the camera circles around the space.&nbsp;The gentle camera movement contrasts against the stark location, creating a complex, textural aesthetic.&nbsp;The use of a one-take concept also feels incredibly inspired, capturing the grand atmosphere of the location and the naturalistic, intimate performances that unfold through the track.

Four hopeful actors audition for the role of a lifetime, in&nbsp;Slane's touching promo for Rhys Lewis.&nbsp;Showing the lead up to - and the eventual fallout from - an awkward casting session, we follow the journeys of four very different characters, with Lewis taking on one of the roles.&nbsp;A flurry of chaotic poses, faux-fight scenes and strange facial expressions ensues, with none of the character getting the role. In the end, they all head out to the city as a group, and live out their superhero fantasies together.&nbsp;Comedic and heartfelt, it's a great little video that ends on an optimistic note.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;"Creating the world for&nbsp;this video&nbsp;was a lot of fun," says Slane.&nbsp;"A cast of superheroes was the key part of the brief. So I came up with four superhero characters and developed their backstories, superpowers and costumes, paying homage to Kick-Ass."Taking inspiration from 80's TV shows, Rhys and I came up with [superhero team]&nbsp;The Midnight&nbsp;and worked backwards to create this fun video of four failed audition tapes. Concept to delivery happened in record time, so big shout to Pilar at Papaya and the amazing cast and crew."

Dan French directs an emotional promo for Harlee's&nbsp;Reset, that explores love and loss in a series of evocative vignettes, featuring complex relationships and characters locked in limbo.&nbsp;Largely naturalistic&nbsp;in its approach, the video is peppered with dramatic, speed-ramped footage and experimental frame rates to change up the pace, and uses subtitles to provide context to the on-screen imagery.&nbsp;This is excellent work that tugs at the heartstrings but ends on a warm and hopeful note.&nbsp;

Roisino creates a surreal vision for Eddy Luna's What's The Difference.&nbsp;The psychedelic promo explores a trippy world with stylised avant-garde spaces, referencing&nbsp;early noughties R&amp;B video aesthetics.&nbsp;Art direction and bursts of colour&nbsp;are central to the concept, and Luna thrives within the fantastical environment.&nbsp;Anchored by a laidback performance and off-kilter cinematography, it's another excellent visual from Roisino, which lends itself perfectly to her abstract style.&nbsp;

Harry Deadman directs a trip into an otherworldly dimension in his splendid promo for funk-pop duo Two Another.&nbsp;Riding the elevator up to the 51st floor, we see vocalist Elliot start to picture himself in a variety of weird and wonderful&nbsp;situations with the other people in the lift, including Angus, his bandmate."Angus and Elliot hit me up on Instagram last August and said they had a new single and were keen to collaborate on a video," explains Deadman. "They already had a solid idea of the kind of world they wanted to create for the video - dreamy, otherworldly and soaked in colour. Which is exactly what I love to hear!"[imgtoken data:1]The resulting video was shot against greenscreen with a flurry of visual effects to create the abstract, uncanny environments we see the artists in. Deadman worked with his Brisbane-based friend and regular collaborator Liam Blenkinsop on the VFX builds for the video, taking their creative collaboration to a new level."We met at uni and have been working together on various projects since then," says Deadman.&nbsp;"We normally do five to ten shots per video so I kind of underestimated how long this would all take. I think there was something like 185 shots to get through!"&nbsp;The time and effort has all paid off handsomely here as the slickness of the production design and VFX aligns with the energy of the performances from Two Another and two accompanying&nbsp;dancers.&nbsp;It&nbsp;acts as a wonderful introduction to viewers who might not be familiar with the dynamic duo.&nbsp;

Roisino directs an exciting performance promo for Denis Coleman.&nbsp;Following up previous collaboration <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2022/02/17/denis-coleman-halogen-nights-roisino/75016">Halogen Nights</a>,&nbsp;Roisino takes a nostalgic, Noughties-vibe approach to this video, which features Coleman facing his demons in a therapist's office.&nbsp;The video switches between a clever two-shot of the artist as both characters, and then plunges into a frenetic, lo-fi fantasy montage.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]"I wanted to create a meaningful, engaging and realistic yet surreal reference to the experience of anxiety, negative mental health and the harsh reality of entering therapy and the resulting impact," says Roisino.&nbsp;"We used clever masking composition and a split custom set to illustrate that Denis is facing himself as the most intense hurdle for his own healing."Creating subliminal messaging through a TV visualiser, through POV shots, Denis is able to see the possibilities of outlets for his frustration and exhaustion. Eventually the video results in his own music allowing him to reconcile with confronting his demons in an nostalgic 00's epic pop-punk band scene."

Denis Coleman attends a&nbsp;bizarre social gathering&nbsp;in a grandiose dining room, in Roisino's surreal promo for Halogen Nights.&nbsp;In the video, we see a cast of bizarre characters interacting at the dinner table. They are&nbsp;ready to eat&nbsp; - before a sudden flip in narrative exposes their unruly desires and attitudes."As the song reaches a crescendo - a glass smashes, the video intensifies in pace and the mood darkens," explains Roisino.&nbsp;"The video flips and the gathering becomes the antithesis. People are acting unruly with harmful intention. Will Denis succumb to his surroundings?"&nbsp;The hypnotic, fairytale-esque aesthetic brings the absurdist concept to life, whilst the performances across the board make you feel like you've entered a party you really shouldn't have...
