Timothy Saccenti directs a super-intense&nbsp;performance promo for Metallica.&nbsp;Following the hypnotic promo for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_u-7rWKnVVo" target="_blank">Lux Æterna</a>&nbsp;- also directed by Saccenti -&nbsp;that was released at the end of 2022, the video for Screaming Suicide is more of an intimate portrait of the band, focusing on their performance in a simple yet striking way.&nbsp;The energy is electric, as to be expected, and the gritty black and white aesthetic gives the whole thing a grungy, minacious feel.&nbsp;

Metallica 'Screaming Suicide' by Timothy Saccenti

Metallica-'Screaming-Suicide'-by-Timothy-Saccenti

Kalina Pulit directs an effervescent time-travelling mini-blockbuster starring singer Mae Muller and DJs Billen Ted for their dance-pop anthem When You're Out.&nbsp;With the Billen Ted duo breaking free from enforced isolation to clubbing freedom courtesy of their time-travelling DeLorean - complete with Back To The Future accessories - Pulit builds a playful, all-action narrative, employing 360 camerawork to enhance the storyline, and Mae Muller's charismatic performance.It's a big breakthrough into mainstream pop videos for the director, whos work for the likes of Harry Edwards and Schafter has tended towards the more experimental. But that proves to be an advantage here as she interprets this infectious summer hit through a distinctive lens.&nbsp;&nbsp;We spoke to Kalina Pulit about the experience of making the video.[imgtoken data:1]<blockquote>We got our hands on the most accurate&nbsp;Back To The Future&nbsp;Delorean Time Machine...</blockquote>Pn: How did you get involved in the project? KP: It was one of those projects that caught my eye for several reasons. It came through Emily Rudge, an amazing EP. We’ve been meaning to work together for a while. Billen Ted guys have laid out a compelling foundation to build on within the brief. Also, the track pays homage to a classic Don’t Think I’m Not&nbsp;by Kandi, so there’s an element of reworking something nostalgic, which I found interesting.How did you develop the time-travel idea for the video? I think it’s important to make work that resonates. I imagine a lot of us daydream occasionally about time travelling - either to the past or future- especially when going through such a period of reflection as the one brought via the pandemic. The aim was to address the transition from a home rave to a club one, and we took that quite literally. The base for it came from Billen Ted and I’ve just built on top of that and developed it further.I love working with music artists that have a vision for the visual aspect of their work and this was a great opportunity for capturing the playfulness of Billen Ted duo and Mae Muller’s empowering energy.[imgtoken data:2]<blockquote>We aimed to address the transition from a home rave to a club one - we took that&nbsp;literally.</blockquote>Your directing work in videos has generally been for more leftfield artists. How did you adapt to directing a video for a pop banger? There was something about pop music bringing joy to the masses that Sia spoke about during her podcast with Louis Theroux, which has stuck with me. I felt like bringing some positive vibes into our Covid-fractured reality.Also, I like to be versatile with my work and I’m particularly interested in things I haven’t explored yet. More consideration went towards the audience on this one. I wanted to create something that would&nbsp;be cinematic, and at the same time reflect some of the trends generated on platforms such as TikTok.Linear narrative is not usually my thing, I’m more into non-linear storytelling. Working with a more commercial song required a compromise on that front. I like to layer messages in my work rather than force a certain literal interpretation, so that the viewer can take what they want from it. In this case it might be Mae’s powerful performance, Billen Ted duo being fun, the energy of a much longed-for night out and the DeLorean looking cool.And if you want to read into it more, there’s inter-dimensional time travel, duality of worlds, escapism from mundane reality, disco ball and plethora of other circles within the frame and camera style, symbolising movement and things being forever in flux.[imgtoken data:3]<blockquote>360 camera technology...&nbsp;seemed like a perfect vehicle for transitioning between the two worlds.</blockquote>Where did you find a DeLorean with proper Back To The Future tech? Could that be the original car? We were extremely lucky to get our hands on the most accurate&nbsp;Back To The Future&nbsp;Delorean Time Machine - with some of the parts used from the vehicle in the movie. Kudos to the DMND CLR production team for making that happen.I have a thing for peculiar cars - but this one was like nothing I’ve seen so far. Literally out of this world experience. The design, the details, the condition of it, the sound it made. One of the highlights of the shoot for the crew and onlookers, and rightly so.What was the thinking behind shooting some of the footage on a 360 camera? I’m always on the lookout for something that will provide a framework for storytelling and an opportunity for visual experimentation, whether that’s working with analogue film, datamoshing, CCTV cameras, projection art or 360 cameras - depending on what fits the narrative best.I was drawn to 360 camera technology as it’s still fairly new and unexplored. I was curious to see what we can do with it. Plus it seemed like a perfect vehicle for transitioning between the two worlds – the ‘current’ and the ‘club’ reality.[imgtoken data:4]What were the big challenges on the shoot - and on the production as a whole? We’ve had a really great day on set -&nbsp;lovely crew, amazing atmosphere. We worked within a very tight schedule, due to the multi-camera set up, amongst other things. I think the biggest challenge was to facilitate the environment for the 360 cameras element – as everything gets in the shot when using these. It took some meticulous planning, balanced with plenty of improvisation.What has been your biggest takeaway from making the video? The biggest takeaway from making the video is perhaps easing more into the art of relinquishing control over the final outcome and adapting to work within certain limitations, whether that be technology, time, or resources available.There’s plenty of things that turn out to be much better than intended and some that don’t work at all on projects with that level of experimentation so training that flexibility muscle and staying on course is key.

24kGldn goes on a wild ride in Austin Peters' promo for 3,2,1.&nbsp;Reflecting on a relationship falling apart, the video presents a pastiche&nbsp;of hallucinatory performance vignettes, focusing on the artist's relationship with a mystery love interest, played by&nbsp;Charlotte Free.&nbsp;DoP&nbsp;Chris Probst matches the high-energy affair with plenty of fluid camerawork, and a spattering of intense visual effects adds a layer of absurdity to the concept.&nbsp;

Agostina Gálvez directs a minimalist, black and white concept for Chad Lawson's Prelude In D Major, bringing together the worlds of classical music and the New York ballroom.&nbsp;Featuring dancers&nbsp;Jason Rodriquez and José Lapaz-Rodríguez, the video is a fly-on-the-wall perspective of a choreographed dance piece, backdropped by the New York cityscape.&nbsp;Slow and deliberate, the restricted number of setups allow&nbsp;the choreography to breathe, whilst unfolding in a natural and organic way.&nbsp;

Joshua Osborne directs the new music documentary for Tom Misch and Yussef Dayes' debut album What Kinda Music.Switching between conceptual performance setups and behind the scenes, fly-on-the-wall filming, the visual delves into the background of production and collaboration, as well as the artists' respective journeys and influences. Punctuated by shifts in tone and pace, the documentary is intimate and informative as well as being brilliantly entertaining.&nbsp;Shot on 35mm, DoP&nbsp;James Rhodes reflects the concept&nbsp;with a dreamy and relaxed aesthetic, elevated by slow and steady camerawork, often acting as spectator in the background whilst the creative process unravels on screen.&nbsp;

Masked country singer Orville Peck shines the spotlight on members of the drag community in Austin Peters' video for Queen of the Rodeo.&nbsp;Opening on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere, we are introduced to Jem, a First Nations community member and drag queen about whom the song was written. Looking to hitchike to the rodeo, Jem catches the attention of a middle-aged man heading in the same direction.&nbsp;Juxtaposing rugged Americana with drag culture, the video explores the hidden desires of the characters at the event, whilst highlighting Jem's unlikely journey from trepidatious&nbsp;entrant to earning the&nbsp;Queen of the Rodeo title.&nbsp;Peck's enigmatic performance and presence in the video acts as a middle ground to the contrasting themes. As a gay man himself who pays homage to both cowboys and drag, he has a unique experience and worldview that brings a level of authenticity to the visual.&nbsp;DoP&nbsp;Bill Kirstein balances the saturated, colourful aesthetic with a healthy dose of rustic nostalgia, and even when the concepts delves into Lynchian territory in a brilliant scene at the bar, Kirstein ensures it fits in with the overall look and feel.&nbsp;

James Marcus Haney's video for Mumford &amp; Sons is a deeply&nbsp;romantic portrait of two dancers, a character study and riveting dance performance disguised as a home movie.A young couple (Yeman Brown and Stephanie Crousillat) dance and embrace in the dappled light of a New York loft. They take turns filming each other performing on a old-fashioned camcorder, giving us an intimate glimpse at their relationship - intercut with shots of a daytrip to view the Manhattan skyline.&nbsp;Through the lens, we see them as they see each other.The video evolved from a chance encounter between the band's Winston Marshall and Yeman Brown at a Manhattan dance studio. Despite being a self-described newcomer to dance, the Mumford banjoist was moved to tears watching Brown perform.&nbsp;He was cast as the male lead and Kristin Sudeikis, the studio founder, enlisted as the choreographer of the piece.Haney, a longtime collaborator with the band, introduced the heightened level of intimacy between Brown and Crousillat with the idea of shooting the video on Hi-8, a tape format popular in the '90s. Once the&nbsp;go-to format for scuzzy skate videos, here the format is soft and impressionistic, like a distant, fading memory.
