Eliza prowls the forest at night in the video for Heat Of The Moon - her latest collaboration with Charlie Robins.Shot in a variety of formats, Eliza and her dancers perform in a lushly green setting, spotlit in the darkness, often captured in&nbsp;heat-sensitive 'night vision' as they perform&nbsp;the Noughties-influenced soul number.Other visual techniques add to the sense of mystery, sensuality and trippiness...&nbsp; &nbsp;

Brock Neal Roberts's new video for Sam Fender - his second for the South Shields singer-songwriter, after last year's&nbsp;MVA-nominated&nbsp;video for&nbsp;Seventeen Going Under - elevates an everyday story of teenage friendship&nbsp;with a clever visual device.&nbsp;In the video for Getting Started, we see four friends work their way down their tower block, picking each other up on the way as they prepare to head for a night out. And each stage is mainly presented as a three dimensional photo, the camera tracking through the boys as they are caught static,&nbsp;in the moment.[imgtoken data:1]Brock has mainly used&nbsp;in-camera effects to create this sense of hyperreality, with the young actors freezing their bodies in a physical way&nbsp;rather than achieving the effect in post-production - identical twins were used to play the same characters, to bring the complex blocking to life.&nbsp; Imaginative art direction assists to make this work, such as the spray of a deodorant can and smoke from a cigarette created with cotton wool.Sam Fender's performance&nbsp;is the final piece of the jigsaw, walking through the same night-time streets, the unseen narrator of the boys' lives. In the Director's Cut we are featuring here, he is slightly more incidental to the action than&nbsp;in the official release. Ultimately, it is a charming and positive representation of youth and young male friendship.[imgtoken data:2]

Sam Fender 'Getting Started' (Director's Cut) by Brock Neal Roberts

It's a dance to the death in Sophia Ray's blinding promo for Regard, featuring Olly Alexander of Years And Years.&nbsp;The video places Olly&nbsp;as an apprehensive contestant&nbsp;at the centre of a dance marathon, where he has to sweat, pant, dive and dance his way to an exhausted victory - all driven by Meshach Henry's trailblazing choreography. Meanwhile, Regard lingers as a mysteriously sinister driving force behind&nbsp;the&nbsp;scenes of this dark competition."The concept for the video was inspired by the 1969 Sydney Pollack film They Shoot Horses Don't They," explains Sophia Ray. "We wanted to take the themes from this cult classic and then give the video our own creative spin on them, setting it in a contemporary, perplexing, dystopian space."The video is a&nbsp;tour de force&nbsp;of creativity, wrapped in vibrant layers of choreography, post-apocalyptic styling and futuristic art direction, and emanates a minacious yet playful tone throughout. There is certainly a nod to&nbsp;Squid Game&nbsp;in there too.&nbsp;"It was such a pleasure collaborating with Olly again - as always - and really fun getting the opportunity to work on set with Regard," Ray continues.&nbsp;"It was great to showcase two totally different characters in the video when it came to both artists' involvement in the narrative. It was a labour of love from the whole team to bring this one together - and I am so grateful for the team's hard work."[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

Regard ft Years And Years 'Hallucination' by Sophia Ray

Regard-Ft-Years-And-Years--'Hallucination-'-by-Sophia-Ray

Brock Neal Roberts directs a chilling black comedy about urban youth in his latest collaboration with&nbsp;Jeshi.The video for Generation, the rapper's pin-sharp critique of a troubled society,&nbsp;explores the complex issues facing the youth of today - from drugs to violence&nbsp;to&nbsp;an unhealthy reliance on digital technology -&nbsp;cleverly encapsulated in a fly-on-the-wall aesthetic.&nbsp;From a vantage point high above the ground, the camera settles on a series of&nbsp;unfolding narratives, before quickly panning away and seeking out the next moment, involving one or more early-teen boy engaged in activities more usually associated with young men, or to Jeshi himself as on-the-spot commentator.[imgtoken data:1]The concept is lived out by a group of young boys, who light cigarettes for strangers, throw&nbsp;rocks at takeaway food delivery riders&nbsp;and ignore parents whilst engrossed in their phones.The cyclical nature of the concept is cleverly rounded off in the end scene, where the boys begin to throw rocks at a random neighbour's house, and the perspective switches from third person to first person, proving that we aren't only witnesses to the problems facing society, but very much a part of the tapestry.&nbsp;

Jeshi 'Generation' by Brock Neal Roberts

Barnstorming indie band Wet Leg are reimagined as bath-loving aliens beamed down from outer space, in Fred Rowson's loveably&nbsp;eccentric promo for Too Late Now.&nbsp;Wrapped in bath towels, the band venture out into Croydon to experience the Earthly delight of a good hot soak for the very first time, reflecting the lyrics, “I just need a bubble bath to set me on a higher path”.During their pursuit they encounter the addictions of bubble bath and the relaxing qualities of cucumbers - which involves a certain amount of suggestiveness, in the already characteristic Wet Leg style&nbsp;-&nbsp;eventually finding true nirvana in the form of a very pink hot tub, drawing a conclusion to the space-invaders’ pilgrimage.Filmed across two days in South-East London and on a rather muddy Kentish farm, DoP Rik Burnell worked closely with Rowson to achieve the ‘fly on the wall’ aesthetic, shot on a very very long lens with minimal lighting.[imgtoken data:1]<blockquote>I was slightly stunned to shoot the first Wet Leg video that they didn’t direct themselves.</blockquote>"Wet Leg may be the coolest band of the year, but, surprisingly, they are also 2021’s year’s most innocent gang of outsiders," comments Rowson. "Tasked with documenting their first experience of exploring an urban centre outside of Ryde [on the Isle of Wight] I was shocked by their naivety, and nearly lost them on numerous occasions, not least when Rhian nearly went under a bus. Twice."Thankfully, no indie kids were harmed in the making of this movie, and the quintet instinctively found their way to the safety of a rural setting. Thank God. "Seriously though. I was slightly stunned when Hester and Rhian asked me to shoot the first Wet Leg video that they didn’t direct themselves. Pressure, considering that their previous two were, for me, the best of the year. But, from conception to shoot to edit, this was a mad, magical collaboration that’s up there with my favourite music video experiences."Thank you to Domino and John Moule for trusting us to get on with it, and thank you as always to the team of Terminators at Blink - Rosie, Seb, Laura: you gave up your lives and made this happen in less than a week. Thank you. Best in town."

Little Mix aspire for domestic bliss in Fred Rowson's playful promo for No.&nbsp;Fed up with housework? Need help trimming the grass? Well look no further, your prayers have been answered by the all-action,&nbsp;all-smiling&nbsp;HUS-BOT!When the artists take home their own versions of a new 'mandroid', there are a few kinks getting them up and running, but then, all is well. For a while...The video was shot back in early July at the height of Covid, when Leigh-Anne and Perrie were in the later stage of their pregnancies. So the girls certainly needed a bit of help around the house.In his first video for Little Mix, Rowson brings a bit of a twisted edge to proceedings - especially when things start to go horribly wrong. Turns out it was a&nbsp;mistake to&nbsp;even rely on a robot male...[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Kofi Stone enters uncharted depths in his nautically-themed&nbsp;video for I Wish.Stone is&nbsp;decidedly stir-crazy as he sits in his home, chained by an anchor to his armchair, and marking off the days. In fact, he could just be crazy. And then the compelling reason for his confinement is revealed.&nbsp;&nbsp;Created by directing duo Evenings - that's director Andy Daly and DoP Scott Jones - this is a very watchable showcase for the rapper, who delivers a winning performance, right up to that&nbsp;satisfying twist in the tale.

Brock Neal Roberts pieces together&nbsp;an intimate portrait of youth, in his promo for Sam Fender's Seventeen Going Under.&nbsp;Built around the idea of trying to find existence and clarity amongst the chaos of being 17, the video interconnects naturalistic vignettes which touch upon romance, growing up, and fights between friends.&nbsp;The video boasts striking cinematography from&nbsp;Benjamin Wearing, and a bold change in style for Brock&nbsp;Neal Roberts from his last video, the surreal vision for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2021/04/15/eli-brown-talk-show-trouble-brock-neal-roberts/70411">Eli Brown's Trouble.&nbsp;</a>[imgtoken data:1]

Jake Dypka directs a stirring portrait of everyday life at an English seaside resort, in his promo for Brighton-based duo Memorial's version of&nbsp;A Hero's Death.&nbsp;Filmed in Skegness on the East of England coast - in and around the local Butlin's holiday resort - and shot in a documentary fashion, a static camera captures snapshots of seaside experiences, framing different characters in their own thought-provoking vignettes.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]Dypka combines observation of holiday-goers with prosaic&nbsp;still lives, capturing a world that feels as if it has barely changed in decades. Meanwhile, the Memorial duo&nbsp;are lowkey extras on the Crazy Golf range and elsewhere.With lovely cinematography from DoP Arthur Loveday, the approach owes something to the hyperreal aesthetic of Martin Parr, but with much less of the photojournalistic cruelty. Dypka gained the confidence of his subjects, who gave their permission to be filmed, and the&nbsp;result is a&nbsp;magical marriage of craft and naturalistic performance.It stands out as one of the best of its kind in a long time - for a lovely cover of the Fontaines DC song.[imgtoken data:2]

In celebration of the exhibition Allez La France!&nbsp;at Saatchi Yates, the London gallery and exhibiting artists collaborated with British jazz drummer and 2020 Mercury Prize nominee&nbsp;Moses Boyd on a unique composition made in response to the works in the exhibition - performed by Boyd, and captured by&nbsp;French filmmaker&nbsp;François Larpin.Boyd's piece was inspired by the work of&nbsp;Hams Klemens, Jin Angdoo, Kevin Pinsembert and Mathieu Julien - who&nbsp;make up the French collective also known by their contemporaries as “Moderne Jazz”. They began their work between Marseille and Paris, painting on walls and under tunnels, creating large abstract works that existed exclusively within public spaces. This is the first time that the French collective have been shown together, within a gallery space.Moses Boyd is popularly known for blending multiple genres into jazz to create various new sub-genres, and&nbsp;has described his own music as "an extension of black music, the diaspora" which draws influence from afrobeats, soca, reggae, drum and bass and jungle music. This performance acts as an introduction to a forthcoming film about the intersection between art and jazz, centered around the four artists showing at the Allez La France exhibition - also directed by François Larpin.

Max Siedentopf directs a brilliantly absurd promo for Glass Animals - and another&nbsp;Glass Animals lockdown video classic.&nbsp;Shot during the first lockdown of 2020, the concept cleverly uses a single vantage point and a super long zoom lens to uncover a world full of distorted clones and softcore body horror.&nbsp;The band's frontman Dave Bayley is rendered in 3D form&nbsp;and then stripped nude, bloated, twisted and rolled up to create a hallucinatory vision straight out of a Junji Ito novel.The clones are then shown taking&nbsp;over various Haggerston landmarks, congregating and interacting in an increasingly surreal fashion.&nbsp;It's typically weird and wonderful&nbsp;work from Siedentopf - and a&nbsp;timely dive into the uncanny valley.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;
