Francis Wallis directs a playful performance promo for Kawala, featuring the group in a perpetually expanding universe of parallel rooms and scenarios.The video boasts a fun, conceptual aesthetic which more than lives up to the name of the track, inspired by the&nbsp;Droste effect. It's&nbsp;put to excellent use here, with a contemporary, slick twist, which feels suited to the cinematic world built within the video.&nbsp;With a trippy edit and brilliant performances all-round, the concept has the right balance of effects and live-action, and feels really fresh.&nbsp;"The lyrical content immediately made me think of the Droste-style effect, which is basically the effect of a picture recursively appearing within itself," explains Wallis.&nbsp;"Creating this visual landscape for our chorus meant that we could repeat our scenes rhythmically, bringing a hypnotic sense of repetitiveness within our variations that felt perfectly suited to this track."Most importantly this felt like a great way to highlight that sense of disorientation and at times claustrophobia that often comes when relationships are on the rocks or at the end of their course in the way that Jim sings about."[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

Kawala 'Hypnotized' by Francis Wallis

KAWALA - Hypnotized (Official Music Video)

Loski and Stormzy are men on a mission - to deliver satisfaction to all sorts of women - in Joao Retorta's thoroughly enjoyable video for Flavour.They play a couple of delivery men, making a number of drop offs around London to supply their special product. What is it? Well, the clue is very much in the songtitle.It's a winning concept, which plays to the strengths and the chemistry of Loski and Stormzy, and provides a series of engaging episodes as they service an&nbsp;increasingly upscale clientele.&nbsp;DoP&nbsp;Harry Wheeler experiments with vibrant lighting and buoyant camerawork to match the steady flow of the track, allowing the charming performances to take focus. And it's a confident step by Joao Retorta into building a narrative around a pair of charismatic artists.&nbsp;

Aella Jordan-Edge puts new indie-pop combo The Snuts through their paces in the video for Elephants, culminating in a suitably mammoth challenge.In this TV gameshow-cum-videogame scenario, the bandmembers progress through the rounds, from group dance routines to solo moves, and then the big one: the bucking elephant.No, that's not a misprint. The production's piece de resistance is the elephanine&nbsp;makeover of a mechanical bull. Created by production designer Lucy Cooper to be a delightful patchwork-made creature it indeed has true elephant-like qualities: very loveable, but no man can match its power.As Jordan-Edge and producer Lily Ashton explain below, this was achieved under the strict guidelines for post-lockdown shooting, which created its own set of previously unknown challenges. They have done a great job in the circumstances.&nbsp;&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]AELLA JORDAN-EDGE:"Let’s be honest, the almost comically cheery nature of this project was just what we all needed after months of hibernation,&nbsp; confusion and anxiety. The Snuts were absolutely lovely to work with, one of the most hard-working and dedicated bands I’ve had the pleasure to make a music video for. Never having danced before they put their all into the dance routine created by amazing duo KZ Creatives (Nat and Kane). I was super impressed!"One of the funniest ways lockdown restrictions affected the shoot was watching the band rehearse the choreography via zoom. Nat and Kane were having to teach them this intricate dance routine while they jiggled, pointed and side stepped in their kitchens and living rooms."So my first shoot in a post-Covid world, wasn’t without the additional stresses and strains of factoring in all the extra health and safety: social distancing;&nbsp;Tier 1 and Tier 2 PPE;&nbsp;a one way system to move around in the studio;&nbsp;all food in self contained boxes, staggered meal times...&nbsp; The whole studio smelled of hand sanitiser and the presence of a Covid officer who took everyone’s temperature every few hours and swapped out our masks for new ones meant we couldn’t forget that it wasn’t “all back to normal”. However I was surprised how quickly we all adapted. Soon it just felt like another factor among many we already had to contend with. It’s amazing how over emphasising with your eyebrows over the top of a mask, or ducking out of the way when someone comes too near becomes normal. We all just get on with it. The show must go on![imgtoken data:2]<blockquote>I don’t think I fully knew if the elephant was going to absolutely 100% work&nbsp;until I saw the first crash zoom.</blockquote>"Overall it felt like we’d done our absolute best to keep everyone as safe and healthy as possible during the shoot and I’m super-grateful to Charlie (1st AD) and Lily (producer) for implementing it all with such grace and charm."Ah yes, now we come to the elephant. The idea of a mechanical bull re-upholstered as an elephant was originally conceived by lead singer Jack. I ran with the idea and turned it into a Sesame Street-cum-Muppets-cum-Elmer the Patchwork Elephant creature. Then production designer Lucy Cooper designed and hand-built the most beautiful beast, and what we liked to refer to as the “Elephantasy”. I don’t think I fully knew if the elephant was going to absolutely 100% work until I saw the first crash zoom Nathalie (DP) did with all the lights and set behind it… and I was like YES. IT F**KING WORKS! It was a crazy idea and it not only worked, it totally stole the show."Later, in between takes when bassist Callum was doing some BTS videos he referred to it as Patricia, so that’s what it’s now called! The boys took her home with them so I’m hoping we will see more of Patricia in the future! Fingers crossed her journey isn’t over and she’ll have a long life ahead of her to entertain, buck and spin her googly eyes to her hairy hearts content."[imgtoken data:3]LILY ASHTON:"Our goal was to make sure we didn’t compromise on creative or safety; but instead work in a smart way to ensure that the elephantasy could come to life within the new normal of post-pandemic filming. Aella’s treatment provided a great starting point; creating a wonderfully bonkers ‘world’ without relying on complicated sets or locations, and focusing on the performance and personality of the band, instead of using additional talent."We were very lucky to work closely with Maryland Studios to create a safe working environment for all crew using the APA Covid-19 Guidelines as a basis for our plans, as well as responding to the specific needs of the space. These plans included one-way-systems to prevent pinch points, temperature checks on arrival &amp; a great deal of anti-bac! We also worked to reduced crew numbers, which allowed us to socially distance within the space.[imgtoken data:4]<blockquote>Plans included one-way-systems to prevent pinch points,&nbsp;temperature checks on arrival &amp; a great deal of anti-bac!</blockquote>"Every department had to adapt to these reduced numbers and new practices; from our DP, Nathalie Pitters, using in-camera effects instead of practical special effects, to our choreography team, KZ Creative, conducting remote zoom rehearsals. We were lucky to work with a super smart team who threw themselves into all of the challenges and found clever solutions which allowed us to work safely without compromising the creative."In some ways it feels like a lot has changed, but in the end the success of the shoot lay, as ever, in a clear creative goal, good communication between different departments &amp; a pinch of common sense!"&nbsp;

Mali-Koa reflects on how easy it is to feel limited by your environment or the people that surround you, in Jess Journo's visual&nbsp;for Dancer.&nbsp;Stripped-back, stark surroundings are the backdrop to the performance, which switches from solo lip-sync shots to six-person, unified dance movements. Koa had never danced in a video before this one, so it is a great tie-in to the themes and limitations expressed in the lyrics.&nbsp;DoP&nbsp;Beatriz Sastre utilises slow, steady camera movement and a limited colour palette to allow the choreography to breathe, and shine against the cold, blue-tinged surroundings.&nbsp;Cutting through boundaries to become the best version of herself, the message at the core of the visual is that when life throws obstacles your way,&nbsp;all you can and must do is dance with it and keep moving forward.

Opulence and grace flow through Chiswick House&nbsp;in&nbsp;Adriaan Louw's video for up and coming singer Awa's Like I Do.&nbsp;Showcasing&nbsp;subtle extravagance in the stunning setting, Louw constructs portraiture style set-ups in a number of magnificent rooms; each contrasting dramatically in colour and design, but all equally as regal in style.Exploring themes of sisterhood and femininity, Awa is joined by several other girls in most of the scenes, representing both a family and an inner circle who have each other's best interests at heart.&nbsp;Balancing cinematic composition with understated performances, DoP&nbsp;Olan Collardy keeps the camerawork slow and steady, building upon the laidback vibe of both the video and track and allowing the subtle movements and serious facial expressions to speak for themselves.&nbsp;

AMA hits the school gym to play ball with the girls in Francis Wallis&#39;s smart and playful video for Slip.With the up and coming singer bringing three different distinct characters to the party, Wallis gives them the room to work together. It looks great, with a very defined aesthetic and colour palette. Throw in a comedy doofus of a PE teacher trying to impress the girls for good measure, and you have a fine vehicle for charming AMA.

Dizzee Rascal x Skepta 'Money Right' by Romain Chassaing

Dizzee Rascal - Money Right ft. Skepta

Aella Jordan-Edge takes to the London nightclub scene to film Matoma&rsquo;s Lonely&rsquo; ft. MAX. With an &ldquo;imaginary friend&rdquo; concept at its core, this video was inspired by Aella&rsquo;s love for the classic film Harvey. She was drawn to the visual idea of a character interacting with someone we can&rsquo;t see - a person that only exists in the character&rsquo;s head, that he believes in so fiercely, we begin to believe in him too.We follow the journey of two dancers, never knowing if the girl in this romantic duo is real, or just a figment of his imagination. Their heated and intimate interaction under the neon lights of Sway draw us into their story and leaving us wanting more. &nbsp;
