<h3>We spoke to the Pulse-signed director about his breakthrough into the big time,&nbsp;making a video for one of American hip-hop's most visually astute&nbsp;superstars.</h3>Zac Dov Wiesel has been making great strides in the past few years. Since his videos for flamboyant rapper/singer Rodney Chrome, including the mesmerising <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2022/06/13/rodney-chrome-money-zac-dov-wiesel/76793" target="_blank">To The Money</a>, started getting word-of-mouth buzz in late 2022, the Australian-born, LA-based director has been seen as one to watch, potentially a major talent in the making.That was reinforced last year by a brace of dazzling VFX-fired videos for alt-pop artist Audrey Nuna - and that video for Aussie disco-pop outfit Confidence Man: the 'naked-in-a-helicopter' one for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2024/06/18/confidence-man-i-cant-lose-you-zac-dov-wiesel/86907" target="_blank">I Can't Lose You</a>. And Dov Wiesel also signed to Pulse Films' directors roster for good measure.Now after showing that considerable promise, Dov Wiesel has struck gold with the new video for rap queen Megan Thee Stallion. She is an artist with an iconic presence in numerous music videos - for her own songs and in collaboration with other artists - and Dov Wiesel's promo for Whenever is a classic Megan video in every sense. It’s precision-tooled to showcase her considerable combination of unbridled physicality and unphased sassiness.The video is a&nbsp;series of visually striking vignettes within a surreal 'waiting room' scenario, and he brings a welcome sense of deadpan humour and a knowing nod to absurdity as Megan steamrollers confidently through this dreamworld.So, with release of Whenever, we asked Zac Dov Wiesel (above, on-set with Megan) about the making of the video and discovered that once the job was confirmed, it all happened very quickly...&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[vidtoken data:0]PROMONEWS: How did the process start for you on this project? Was there a video or videos you've made that led Megan’s team to reach out to you?ZAC DOV WIESEL: I was meant to work with Megan’s team last year, so they were familiar with my work. Beyond that, I have no clue what attracted Megan and her team to my work!What kind of brief did you get with the track?ZDW: I got a series of images from her team. Some of the images I really connected with and just sparked lots of the sets we saw in the video.Did you pitch one idea, or several?ZDW: I pitched one idea that I believed in. Megan's original&nbsp;brief was super-strong, so I felt like I knew what I wanted to do. At the end of the&nbsp;deck I did sneak some alternate editorial set-ups that I liked but didn't know how to make them fit into the scope. None of them made the cut though.&nbsp;You only get one shot, do not miss your chance.&nbsp;This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo<blockquote>Megan is a star. It's always fun working with someone like that.</blockquote>Did you get to communicate with Megan or her team during this stage?ZDW: The treatment was a super-quick turnaround, so I didn’t communicate with her team. But once I submitted it, they were super-quick for feedback and to start the conversation. Everything moved pretty fast. Vroom vroom.What do you think was the key idea in your treatment that won over Megan - or was it a number of things?ZDW: I am not sure!! I never asked her! The design of the deck was super-nice and clear, which is something I struggle with making work all the time. Definitely&nbsp;a top three deck of mine.Did Megan bring her own ideas to the table, in terms of characters and looks? Or did you create the ideas for the characters she plays, and you collaborate from that point?ZDW: Yes, she did! Originally a scuba diver was featured in the video as an extra, but after our first phone call she was super-excited by the idea of being that scuba diver. She had some great specific references for that look too. The challenge was making that work within our day, and that meant doing a 'scuba' look without getting her wet.&nbsp;Liam Moore, my production designer,&nbsp;showed me this amazing <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WcWHZc8s2I" target="_blank">Sade reference for No Ordinary Love&nbsp;</a>which ended up being the best solution. Also, lots of references she sent&nbsp;inspired many of the set-ups in the video. Orange and Clocks were heavily featured in the brief.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]<blockquote>Once I submitted the treatment Megan's team&nbsp;were super-quick with feedback. Everything moved pretty fast.</blockquote>How long did you have to prep the video between approval and its shooting?ZDW: Five days&nbsp;from greenlight; so&nbsp;it was super-fast and&nbsp;furious. Super grateful for my team who supported me and allowed things to move super-quick.How did you approach directing Megan? Does she need or ask for much direction?&nbsp;&nbsp;ZDW: Megan is a star; it's always so fun working with someone like that.&nbsp;The level of production polish is on a different level to what we’ve seen in your work before. Was it challenging making that adjustment - or just enjoyable?&nbsp;ZDW: It was something that making a Megan video called for. I love trying different things and having the ability to just be so tapped in with all the heads of department is so fun. The control of studio builds and studio days is something I would love to keep doing. It makes for a fun day.What were the crucial things you had with this project to make the vision you wanted to make?ZDW: My friends and my team made it so possible. The DP who shot this, Shane Bagwell, was the first DP I had ever worked with seven years ago. Will Noyce who produced this alongside Pulse in LA, had been on some of my first sets in America while I was a student.&nbsp;And Liam Moore, he really showed up and #out on such a short timeline, really making everything come to life. Pulse Films also empowered me to flourish like a butterfly.What was your overall objective with the Whenever video - and did you achieve everything you wanted?ZDW: I wanted to find a way to ground these random editorial images into one space and environment. I thought that would be a great challenge.&nbsp; Do something extremely editorial and beauty-focussed and seemingly random but connected. So, to me I felt like I did achieve everything I wanted.We really shot every single shot we had shortlisted, so shout out to the AD&nbsp;Lane Stroud. Lane also taught me how to handstand properly.&nbsp;Doing handstands is a great way to regulate your nervous system while on set.• Zac Dov Wiesel is based at Pulse Films for music videos and branded content, represented for music videos in the UK by Hands.

Agusta Yr directs a surreal, digitally-rich visual for LA-based pop singer&nbsp;Sam Short, who takes a trip from earthbound reality to off-world fantasy.The video for Earthgirl starts in a nighttime garden, but the Icelandic director begins to disrupt the sense of realism from the start, as&nbsp;the world around the pop singer begins to change. With AI-enhanced VFX, Yr creates a dreamlike world that complements Short’s introspective lyrics. She becomes a mermaid under the sea before leaving Earth entirely, travelling to the Moon.&nbsp;The video is a testament to Yr’s multidisciplinary approach.&nbsp;Known for her innovative use of 3D animation and playful aesthetics, she&nbsp;directed, animated and edited the video -&nbsp;and the result is a visually captivating experience.&nbsp;

Pulse have announced the signing of Kojaque to its growing roster of directors, for music video and commercial representation.Hailing from Cabra, Dublin, Kevin Smith - known professionally as Kojaque - is a renowned rapper as well as filmmaker. He&nbsp;has worn both hats throughout his career, directing the majority of his own music videos, notably, Casio, Town’s Dead - which picked up five Shark Awards, including Best Direction and Best Music Video -&nbsp;and most recently&nbsp;Eastside&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Ballad Of Jackie Dandelion.Kojaque has crafted a bold signature style, storytelling that blends raw honesty with sharp wit, firmly establishing himself as a rising force and a Director to watch. And he has now made a bold leap in his filmmaking journey, directing a trilogy of videos for fellow Irish artist&nbsp;Kean Kavanagh, blending grit, humour and melancholy in his three-part portrait of Pa 'The Hips' Campion, a down-on-his-luck Elvis impersonator and Portlaoise kit man clinging to moments of small-town glory.The&nbsp;announcement of Kojaque joining Pulse coincides with the release of the second chapter&nbsp;of the Kean Kavanagh trilogy, A Cowboy Song.Rik Green, Global Head of Music Videos at Pulse Films, says:&nbsp;“I’m absolutely thrilled to welcome Kojaque to Pulse. His sharp visual wit and instinctive storytelling set him apart — it’s rare to come across such a distinctive voice. He’s a phenomenal artist, in every sense of the word, and we’re genuinely excited to be part of his continued evolution as a Director."Kojaque adds that he is excited at the prospect of the new partnership.&nbsp;“I'm buzzing to be joining Pulse," he says "I know their work pushes boundaries and that's what I love doing in my work. Whether it's music, film, or art, I’m always chasing honest stories that resonate. Teaming up with a crew that backs that vision is exactly where I want to be.”• Watch Kojaque's work at Pulse <a href="https://www.pulsefilms.com/director/kojaque/music-video" target="_blank">here</a>

Zac Dov Weisel hits the big time with a wonderfully weird and wacky video for the one and only Megan Thee Stallion.The video for Whenever&nbsp;starts with a low rider crashing into a waiting room, spirals into a surreal fever dream—think pool cue barre dancing, chess piece riding, scuba diving, clocks melting... and fish people.&nbsp;The Australian-born director, who first caught attention with work for Rodney Chrome and more recently for a series of videos with Audrey Nuna, including the UKMVA-nominated Cellulite, and Confidence Man's I Can't Lose You, has now graduated to make a huge statement for hip hop's badass queen Megan with a video both hugely assured and off-the-scale bonkers.Megan plays several parts, utterly imperious in all of them - the sizzling, sneering cowgirl, the pliable receptionist, mermaid, chess piece rider,&nbsp;vigourous twerker - within a world of colourful surreal comedy.&nbsp;This is one of her very best videos for sure.[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

Award-winning director Keith McCarthy has joined&nbsp;Pulse’s global roster, bringing his signature mix of cinematic storytelling, sharp humour, brilliant casting and high-energy filmmaking.With a background in screenwriting, Keith McCarthy's reel&nbsp;spans major brands like Nike, Volkswagen, Adidas, Subaru, and Coca-Cola,&nbsp;where he’s consistently delivered visually distinctive work.&nbsp;His music-based projects came fairly early in his career, with videos for Florence &amp; The Machine and Andreya Triana.With a deep understanding of structure, pacing, comedic and emotional tone - skills that underpin everything he directs from stylised 30-second spots to longer-form narrative campaigns -&nbsp;his work&nbsp;has earned recognition from BAFTA, Cannes Lions, D&amp;AD, and the British Arrows.He is&nbsp;also known for his intuitive work with some of the biggest names in sport, including David Beckham, Lionel Messi, Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku, and Paul Pogba. Behind the camera, his experience on the agency side has given him a strong collaborative instinct, as he understands the process and knows how to lead the vision while bringing everyone with him.“Keith’s work hits that rare intersection - cinematic, emotionally intelligent and tonally razor-sharp," says Pulse MD Jamie Walker. "He brings real range from kinetic, large-scale productions to smart, brilliantly cast, performance-driven storytelling. We’re thrilled to have him on board.”Keith McCarthy adds; “I’m into big ideas that probably shouldn’t work but somehow do. I’m always on the hunt for stylised, ambitious, slightly unhinged comedy with a cinematic finish - that’s my thing. I love shooting funny in a way that feels big, beautiful and oddly emotional. Pulse got that straight away. Great taste, great people, and the kind of creative energy that makes you want to get out of bed early. It just clicked. I’m properly excited for what’s next.”• Watch Keith McCarthy's showreel at Pulse <a href="https://www.pulsefilms.com/director/keith-mccarthy/commercials" target="_blank">here</a>

Ramez Silyan directs an incendiary promo for Khalid, as the video for Heatstroke switches between conceptual performance setups and a slowly burning miniature environment, reflecting the title of the track.&nbsp;Radiating an anachronistic, wistful vibe throughout&nbsp;the video has&nbsp;a lingering sense of surreality permeating the concept, which is elevated by the unusual techniques on display.Combining the R&amp;B artist's performance with a&nbsp;Thunderbirds-like miniature set, that's burning up under the power of the sun is a striking way to address the theme of the song - and also address real-world concerns.&nbsp;An offbeat and inspired idea that also manages to fit the lilting energy of the track.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

JADE launches her post-Little Mix solo career with a jawdropping video directed by Aube Perrie.It's safe to say that Perrie's video&nbsp;for Angel Of My Dreams is one of the most memorable reinventions in modern memory. Jade Thirwell takes on different characters - or different versions of herself - each&nbsp;at different points on the ladder of pop star&nbsp;fame, in an&nbsp;imaginative, biting&nbsp;and often bizarre satire on the music biz. There's plenty for the fans to unwrap on this one.The overarching concept loosely follows the lyrics of the track - a love/hate message to the music industry as a whole, and the various challenges JADE has faced to get to this point. And in true Aube Perrie style, this becomes super-heightened and hyperreal in the video, crammed with detail, embracing chaos and even the grotesque. And there is a memorably monstrous Bad Guy.&nbsp;From busking on the streets through to a mega-diva and everything in between, JADE's intriguingly disrupts her previous pop image. There's&nbsp;even some real home video footage mixed in for good measure - which provides a counter to the darker side of fame, which becomes the predominant theme of the video.&nbsp;In fact this remarkable work also declines to resolve in a neat, happy ending -&nbsp;another reason why it's a milestone achievement for both artist and director.&nbsp;Mesmerising work.And the sharp-eyed (and the in-the-know) should be able to spot the link between this and Perrie's video for Fontaines D.C.'s Starburster earlier this year.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

Pulse Films have announced the addition of&nbsp;Rodrigo Saavedra&nbsp;to its US commercial and music video director roster.Originally hailing from Rio de Janeiro, the advertising creative-turned-director has a richly decorated career as a filmmaker, collaborating with global brands including&nbsp;Coca-Cola, Heineken, Corona, Honda, VW, Facebook, Dropbox&nbsp;and the Francis Ford Coppola Winery. As a director of music videos Saavedra has collaborated with the likes of DJ Snake and Selena Gomez (on the UKMVA-winning video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2021/03/22/dj-snake-ft-selena-gomez-selfish-love-rodrigo-saavedra/70086" target="_blank">Selfish Love</a>)&nbsp;Céu&nbsp;and Niki &amp; The Dove.&nbsp;In the UK Rodrigo is represented by his own production company&nbsp;Immigrant, and&nbsp;Pulse and Immigrant will now jointly&nbsp;represent Saavedra in the UK music videos sphere, repped by Hands. &nbsp;&nbsp;“I have been watching Rodrigo’s career bloom since working together in Marseilles - we are still debating who instigated a tussle with a group of local pickpockets," says&nbsp;Mino Jarjoura, Global President of Commercials &amp;&nbsp;Music Videos at Pulse."I am absolutely thrilled to collaborate with Rodrigo at Pulse. His nuanced level of detail and boundless imagination are seamlessly interwoven in story, style and character. A truly unique filmmaker, he has a vision, working alongside him promises to be an inspiring journey."Rodrigo Saavedra adds: “When Mino first contacted me, he already knew I was a Flamengo supporter. That says a lot about him. Instead of the cliché ‘I love your work’, he tapped into culture to find common ground. And to me that’s what Pulse is about. They’re a company that champions culture, going beyond the norms of advertising, and when they do traditional ads they make sure that it seeps into the pop realm.”• &nbsp;&nbsp;

Fontaines DC are back - with an extraordinary, thought-provoking&nbsp;video by Aube Perrie.&nbsp;The video for Starburster opens with vocalist Grian Chatten dressed as a football referee, heading out for a kick about, until the ball rolls under a garage door.&nbsp;From there, we see Chatten morph into dozens of different characters - from the whimsical to the straight up creepy, with a special shout-out to the gimp suit and a horrifying prosthetic mask.&nbsp;In a frantic blur of strange little vignettes, we see the artist interact with his bandmates and random people, backdropped by the eerily quiet landscapes behind him. There is also a real sense that somehow Chatten has wondered into other worlds, and we are finding out about those worlds from his perspective, before quickly moving on.&nbsp;The use of an inhaler puff to break up the structure, is also very effective device to highlight the&nbsp;fragmented, almost unreadable nature of the narrative.&nbsp;A truly inspired, almost bizarre&nbsp;visual that earns its status of one of the most surreal clips of the year so far. It's also arguably Aube Perrie's strangest video yet - and that comes as the biggest compliment.&nbsp;
