Harvey Pearson's uses a twin-image format to create a hypnotic video for new artist Leo Bjanji.Throughout the video, Bjanji stands in a US-style phone box, in a field of wind turbines, talking the lyrics to Sea Demon into the receiver, as the camera rotates around him. The double image device really works to compliment this&nbsp;strong, simple set-up. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

Django Django's singer&nbsp;Vincent Neff heads out on a night drive through London in Drew Tyndell's atmospheric video for Under Fire.The real impact of the video comes from how Tyndell has treated the footage of Neff's journey though a deserted city in his bronze BMW: each frame printed off and 'hand-tinted', to create displaced yet cinematic&nbsp;effect.

James Slater pulls off a visual feat&nbsp;in his hand-animated promo for Inhaler's It Won't Always Be Like This.&nbsp;Creating a 3D collage from thousands of photocopied frames of footage - from both video and stills - Slater injects a DIY spirit into the production of the concept, and creates something that feels anachronistic in its presentation, timeless and contemporary at the same time."The video was made by making a 3D collage out out of frames from a live shoot, stills and a stock," says James Slater.&nbsp;"To achieve the look each frame had to be photocopied before being used within the animation."&nbsp;A splash of colour within the monochromatic style adds a pop of fun and charm, in line with the Irish rock band's personality and brand.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

WIZ reunites with longtime collaborator Will Young for the first part of a short film, heralding the singer's latest project, an album&nbsp;of cover versions. And once again, director and artist explore interesting&nbsp;dramatic territory for Young's intriguing take on Bat For Lashes' Daniel.Young plays an ageing theatre actor -&nbsp;a character in sad decline, desperately clinging to his dignity.&nbsp;As he has demonstrated in various other videos down the years, directed by&nbsp;WIZ and others, the singer demonstrates a real capacity to inhabit a role and&nbsp;express&nbsp;vulnerability, and here he plays this flawed character&nbsp;with real pathos."The Daniel&nbsp;video is the first of two to be derived from&nbsp;Just Like That,&nbsp;a short film featuring Will," explains WIZ - aka Andrew Whiston. "The theme is addiction - addiction to performance. How there’s no escaping it, despite all the damage it may bring. It always pulls you back, as seemingly the only fulfilment lies in the ephemeral thrill of the stage. Also, it was shot By Robbie Ryan, which is pretty insane!"With muted cinematography and in-camera effects by Ryan - the DoP renowned for his work with Ken Loach and Andrea Arnold -&nbsp;WIZ keeps focussed on Young's&nbsp;characterisation&nbsp;throughout, prefaced by narrative context. It's on a smaller scale than the epic cinematic drama they created together for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZpWnuzVlxk" target="_blank">All Time Love</a>&nbsp;some years ago,&nbsp;but arguably this is WIZ and Will Young's most courageous collaboration yet.[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

Oscar Lang embodies the cyclical frustration of lockdown in James Slater's promo for Stuck.&nbsp;Filmed whilst most of us were still stuck in our homes pulling our hair out, the video is a no-frills affair, showing the artist in a range of familiar situations trying his best not to break.&nbsp;Shot in a series of zooms and reveals, Lang switches from static cycling&nbsp;to repeatedly typing STUCK&nbsp;to screaming into the void. It's just another&nbsp;typical lockdown day, grappling with new routines and a sense of despair which just won't budge...&nbsp;Another hit from Slater, with top-notch cinematography from&nbsp;Simon Plunket.&nbsp;

James Slater directs a vibrant day dream in a Mancunian chippy, for the Lathums' Oh My Love.&nbsp;We open on an everyday conversation&nbsp;between&nbsp;fresh-faced frontman Alex Moore and a friendly face behind the counter, who is taking his order.From there, a mysterious young girl appears, and entices him into watching - and playing a small part in - a contemporary dance scene, where she jumps, spins and backtracks through the retro seating area.&nbsp;A charmer of a&nbsp;video that looks great, following nicely in the footsteps of <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2020/10/22/lathums-i-see-your-ghost-james-slater/67326" target="_blank">Slater's previous Lathums' video last year for </a><a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2020/10/22/lathums-i-see-your-ghost-james-slater/67326" target="_blank">I See Your Ghost</a> - and encompasses the feel-good vibes of the Wigan locals.&nbsp;

The Chemical Brothers' first single in two years comes with their first aollaboartion with RUFFMERCY - and not before time. It's utterly trademark RM stuff, and that works brilliantly with one of the&nbsp;Chems' most upbeat creations.“The Darkness That You Fear is a hopeful piece of music," says Tom Rowlands of the Chemical Brothers.&nbsp;"When we found the combination of the different voices worked set to the flow of the music it made us feel optimistic, like it was something we wanted to share.”RUFFMERCY has responded by transfoming archive footage of British rave and festival culture when The Chemical Brothers first emerged in the early Nineties. His distinctive&nbsp;abstract painterly animation style is applied to the vintage footage to create an astonishing tour de force of visual creativity.&nbsp;There's only one RUFFMERCY. And he's brilliant!

James Slater directs a dreamy promo for Baby Queen's new track Dover Beach.&nbsp;Fittingly shot across picturesque seaside landscapes - in Dover, of course -&nbsp;the video takes viewers on trip through Bella Latham's psyche, where she is desperately trying to escape that certain someone, to no avail.&nbsp;"It's about being infatuated with somebody and seeing them everywhere you look," comments Baby Queen.&nbsp;Packed full of soft pastel colours and striking locations, the concept takes on a cinematic, romantic aesthetic with top-notch performances and memorable vignettes. It's certainly&nbsp;a departure from the spikier&nbsp;tone of BQ's previous videos.[imgtoken data:1]

Legendary music video director WIZ returns with a characteristically dramatic and&nbsp;enigmatic 'musicfilm' for alt-rock duo Sons Of Raphael.The band, comprised of brothers Loral and Ronnel Raphael, deliver a new take on old school psych-rock with their track&nbsp;Revolution, and&nbsp;WIZ puts the pair squarely at the centre of near-operatic psychological mini-melodrama.&nbsp;It begins with a battered and bruised&nbsp;Loral crawling painfully up steps,&nbsp;Ronnel comes to his aid, they make their way through a brutalist urban landscape. WIZ creates a dreamlike, almost absurdist drama from the economical use of the pair in an intriguing&nbsp;location, which appears to exist somewhere between reality and pure theatre.As with his other recent work&nbsp;like his video for Mika's San Remo, DoP Catherine Derry is an excellent interlocutor of WIZ's vision, the cinematography is both intimate and epic.&nbsp;

As he explained in <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/interviews/work-life-tom-hardiman-somesuch/63465" target="_blank">our recent interview with him</a>, Tom Hardiman employed VR tech to create his new (two-dimensional)&nbsp;video for Mura Masa.The video is a classic warehouse rave scene, but it was&nbsp;shot using a sophisticated 360˚rig, usually found on the "bottom of helicopters for&nbsp;Mission Impossible&nbsp;films."The footage was then stitched together, transitioning between multiple spheres, and editing between flattened out 360˚ video files. As such the video is genuinely experimental."A&nbsp;proper brain melt," said Tom. "It’s hard thinking beyond the rectangle…"

Continuing&nbsp;the trend of understated Christmas videos, Mabel explores the downside of the festive period in the video for Loneliest Time Of The Year.&nbsp;Heavily focused on Mabel's performance, the video by Melody Maker has a few simple setups, including the artist sat on her bed and in a living room whilst friends celebrate around her. The choice to keep things so simple allows viewers to connect with the core themes of the track - we all have our ups and downs, and Christmas can be an incredibly lonely and isolated time for many.&nbsp;Swapping out festive decorations for a muted earthy colour palette, the lighting and design lend a wistful and emotional vibe to the video, whilst Mabel's downcast performance bolsters the entire concept.&nbsp;This certainly is not the most joyful songs of the period, but the message it gets across is important.&nbsp;Especially&nbsp;with the amount of people who will be celebrating on their own this year or&nbsp;are homeless and have nowhere to go.&nbsp;&nbsp;
