Christy performs a live acoustic version of his track Without You, from the loft/green room above Peckham Liberal Club.Directed by&nbsp;Rhory Danniells, the video is a follow up to the brilliant <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2022/12/02/christy-denial-live-peckham-liberal-club-rhory-danniells/79560">In Denial</a>, which was released last month and filmed in the same location.&nbsp;Shot in an intentional, gentle fashion, in a single take, the video focuses purely on Christy's emotionally charged performance, whilst the unintrusive style of cinematography helps the whole project feel organic and natural.&nbsp;

Christy 'Without You (Live at Peckham Liberal Club)' by Rhory Danniells

Christy-'Without-You'-by-Rhory-Danniells

Rhory Danniells directs a captivating live video for Christy, shot at the Peckham Liberal Club - in which the Scottish soul singer and his band give a storming performance in front of a disinterested audience of local punters.&nbsp;This palpably live rendition of the soulful&nbsp;number In Denial is an striking display of the artist's vocal prowess and charisma. It's a joyful, uplifting song and the energy on stage is electric, so it wouldn't matter if the audience was empty or facing the other way. But their&nbsp;lack of interest in Christy and his excellent musicians&nbsp;- with the exception of one person - is a nicely daft&nbsp;conceit.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]The video is the first part of a trilogy of live films, and this one is so well executed - with impressive&nbsp;cinematography by Henry Gill and Steadicam work&nbsp;by Jayy Gomez - that it will be interesting to see how Danniels develops the narrative in this wonderfully atmospheric location, as well as hearing more groovy soul from&nbsp;Christy and the band.&nbsp;Will they eventually win over this typically hard-to-please South London crowd?

NWSPK follow up their excellent video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2022/09/15/billy-nomates-balance-gone-nwspk/78335">Balance Is Gone</a>&nbsp;with another riveting&nbsp;promo for Billy Nomates, this time for Spite.&nbsp;The dizzying video sees the artist circle around a wood-panelled room, addressing the camera directly as a party takes place around her.&nbsp;The eccentric performance and transition into a mini food fight at the end creates a wonderfully absurd atmosphere, which feels like one party&nbsp;you might be happy you didn't have an invitation to.&nbsp;

Ja Humby explores the lengths some bands will go to for success, in this rip-roaring satire on the modern day music biz&nbsp;for shame.&nbsp;The video for Fingers Of Steel reveals the 'truth' behind the group's hype... it's the work of evil&nbsp;genius front-man Charlie Steen, who has forcefully enlisted his bandmates in a click farm operation generating fake likes and comments on their own social media posts.&nbsp;Steen plays the villainous role to perfection, bare-chested and manic throughout, as self-obsessed as he is demanding, as he bullies his bandmates into submission. And their musical instruments go unplayed as they churn increasingly outlandish comments online.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]Blending narrative with glitchy animation and a 90's thriller-esque colour scheme, the video is sharp, funny and works really well with the track - remarkably it was apparently turned around in a week -&nbsp;and Steen's hip thrusting will stay in your mind long after watching...&nbsp;It also represents a triumphant reunion between the band and Ja Humby, who worked together on the faux doc and live performance film, <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2021/03/10/shame-live-flesh-molten-jets-ja-humby/69817" target="_blank">Live In The Flesh</a>&nbsp;for the director's Molten Jets project."Conceived and delivered in one week with very little sleep, the frontman was somehow more narcissistic off-camera than he is on it - humping thin air between barrages of punches," claims Humby. "His hips would spasm when he caught himself in the mirror, despite the tantrum-induced snot bubbles no one dared to point out."Huge thank you to everyone involved in this brutally honest depiction of a modern band’s struggle for fame."

Ellie Dixon laments&nbsp;her online haters, in&nbsp;Jasmine De Silva's&nbsp;promo for Swing!&nbsp;The vibrant visual sees Dixon appear in several baseball-inspired vignettes, shot in a studio to give a heightened, dreamlike feel.The eccentric, larger than life costumes and&nbsp;art direction mirror the internet's blurred lines between artificial and real worlds, and Dixon's captivating performance anchors the concept in a candid way."I wrote this song when I was feeling particularly beaten down by negativity from other people," she explains. "I’d had way too much social media so I switched my phone off for a week, shut myself in my bedroom, and let myself be silly and angry and crack jokes."It’s basically one big ridiculous baseball metaphor reminding you that you are better than the bad things being thrown at you. Swing back baby!"

Depzman, aka Joshua Ribera, a rapper who was stabbed to death aged 18 in 2013,&nbsp;comes back to life in this emotional&nbsp;music video using Deepfake technology, directed by directing duo BRIGHTNIGHT.After opening with a short series of videos of the young rapper performing and his breakout on YouTube, the video then displays a message that gives context to the project - co-commissioned by The Joshua Ribera Foundation, the charity that combats knife crime in his name, and SBTV - and how it came about.&nbsp;BRIGHTNIGHT came up with the idea and pitched it to the charity, in partnership with advertising agency McCann London. The team recreated Depzman using Deepfake video technology and a rapper body double who could lip sync the lyrics and mimic Depz’s characteristic movement, down to the movement of the head and hands.In conjunction with the film, an original track with digitally manipulated vocals and a classic 140bmp grime beat were&nbsp;produced. Rapper ShadowCV ghostwrote the lyrics with Alison Cope, Depzman’s mum, and took inspiration from Depz’s life story and his old videos. Some of his old lyrics were also incorporated into the song.“Deepfake technology gets a lot of criticism in the news but we wanted to show that it can be used for good," say BRIGHTNIGHT.&nbsp;Absorbing and poignant, the video is a standout use of the technology, and an example of the good that can come from creative collaboration.&nbsp;

Amitybloc direct a live visual for South London teen musician&nbsp;Flowerovlove inspired by&nbsp;vintage TV shows .&nbsp;In the middle of a vibrant orange set, we see the artist - otherwise known as Joyce Cisse - perform Get With You alongside her backing musicians, captured via&nbsp;a multi-cam set up.&nbsp;Exuding nostalgic vibes and a sense of feel-good energy, the directing duo's latest video for South London teenager is a simple yet perfectly executed concept.&nbsp;"Flowerovlove had some really clear references and knew exactly what she wanted: an old skool TV broadcast performance like The Doors and Nancy Sinatra," say Amitybloc."We meticulously studied them day and night to spot any small things that united them all. Clearly destined for a multi-cam set up, we used broadcast cameras and a simple but stunning set design."Once the first edit was finished, it still didn’t feel quite complete. So we managed to track down one of the original MCs for ATV back in the 50s who would usually introduce the musical performances. Funnily enough, he got her name completely wrong calling her 'flowers for love'&nbsp;not flowerovlove. Fortunately flowerovlove did this strange look to camera right at the start of the performance so it ended up looking like she was reacting to the mispronoucnation live on air."&nbsp;

Billy Nomates lets her inner clown out for directing-duo NWSPK - that's&nbsp;Sam E H Hooper and Glen Travis - in the mesmerising promo for Balance Is Gone.&nbsp;Taking a trip through semi-choreographed dance routines and effervescent vignettes, we see the artist perform under refracted lighting, switching between straight studio setups and a heightened, illusory wonderland.&nbsp;Hooper's cinematography&nbsp;experience shines here, with each setup bursting from the screen in a parade of captivating lights and textures, whilst Travis' edit imbues the visual with a sense of frenetic energy.&nbsp;A talented pair indeed.&nbsp;

Rhory Danniells ushers in the Christmas spirit,&nbsp;with&nbsp;his live promo for Sigrid's Home To You - shot at St. Pancras International train station.&nbsp;Opening with a lo-fi sequence of bystanders&nbsp;happening upon the artist - and filming on their phones -&nbsp;the video swiftly transitions into a glossy, polished live performance captured in a single take - Sigrid sings as walking along a train platform before joining her fellow musicians, and a small audience.Rich colour palettes and the warm orange glow of the lights - and Sigrid's&nbsp;jumper - create a comforting and festive mood, which complements this Christmas-themed song. And the quality of the performance means this&nbsp;stands out as a great piece of live content.

Alewya and Tom Ringsby head to the UK's only desert - Dungeness in Kent -&nbsp;in the intense, breathless&nbsp;promo for Jagna.&nbsp;Inspired by Discovery Channel clips&nbsp;of jaguars sprinting across the horizon, only letting the camera follow for a brief second before disappearing out of shot, the video is frenetic and abstract, and moves at a breakneck pace.&nbsp;Utilising various shutter speeds and intercutting day and night, DoP&nbsp;Karol Jurga creates a&nbsp;transcendent aesthetic, where danger could come from any corner - or perhaps it isn't really there at all.&nbsp;&nbsp;"Alewya just wanted to leg it for the whole video, so we put a Mad Max-crew together and headed for the desert with a spotlight, speaker and camera strapped to a car," explains&nbsp;Tom Ringsby.&nbsp;"The crew were insanely dedicated to making this work and we had a blast - until it got dark and rainy and we ran out of Snickers bars...."
