Oscar Hudson is back, directing&nbsp;a&nbsp;fever dream wrapped in a music video for Slowthai.&nbsp;The concept for Feel Away opens&nbsp;rather innocently... Slowthai - real name Tyron Frampton - is with his girlfriend (played by Guindilla Ontanaya) at a maternity ward, shot through her first person perspective.Reality soon takes&nbsp;a distorted plunge into more surreal territory, as the perspective switches&nbsp;and it's Frampton who now has a baby growing inside of him. Cascading into multiple nightmare scenarios, his love interest falls in love with a doctor, his limbs turn into cake and the baby lipsyncs the lyrics via&nbsp;the ultrasound screen.&nbsp;Truly weird and wonderful, the video takes a sharp turn into the uncanny valley and doesn't let up until the final, haunting frame. The use of first person perspective drops the viewer right into the middle of this world, creating an erratic and claustrophobic environment with no way out.&nbsp;

Joe Connor directs a wet and wonderful promo for Biffy Clyro's Space.&nbsp;Sitting in a car under thunderous downpours, vocalist Simon Neil is lost in thought alongside his partner, played by Jasmine Chiu. Moving from the vehicle into a black infinity studio space, the pair dive into passionate choreography as the unrelenting rain soaks them through.&nbsp;Starting as a minimalist dance concept, the video moves into deep water&nbsp;as Neil and Chiu finds themselves submerged, their movements strikingly graceful and&nbsp;poetic.&nbsp;DoP&nbsp;Ruben Woodin Dechamps contrasts the warm glow of the headlights and lamp with cool, icey blues, representing the fluctuating emotions and abstract energy of the concept.&nbsp;

Declan McKenna's life is invaded by a döppelgänger - none other than Alex Lawther, from End Of The F***ing World&nbsp;and other good stuff - in Will Hooper's video for The Key To Life On Earth.&nbsp;Hooper has a lot of fun with the oft-noted physical&nbsp;similarity between the two men - and with the deteriorating relationship as initial harmony turns to disparity, and worse.Fact is, no-one really does&nbsp;'incel-style' creepiness quite as well as Mr Lawther, so it's not so surprising that his 'fanboy' character begins to take the upper hand. Will Declan get smothered by all that passive-aggression, and two become one...?&nbsp;

Taz Tron Delix guides&nbsp;us through&nbsp;a surreal and hallucinatory trip with no escape&nbsp;in the new video for CamelPhat, featuring Jem Cooke.&nbsp;Following the high octane visual for Stormzy's Audacity, Delix has swapped out the 18-wheelers and stunts for a neon-lit fever dream, reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland, with increasingly erotic overtones.&nbsp;We are introduced to an oblivious, wide-eyed Alice as she explores a disturbing underground world, where the line between reality and fantasy has been irreparably blurred. The visions could be a hypnotic dream or an enticing nightmare, and the only way&nbsp;she can truly escape is by embracing her dark side and letting her desires overwhelm her.Pulling from Delix's cinematic inspirations, there are further references to other classic films, including Peter Weir’s The Truman Show and&nbsp;Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut.&nbsp;"The idea behind the film was to take our audience on a deep inward journey into another dimension and alternate spaces, highlighting the emotional journey as a result," he says. And that's exactly what it achieves.

A woman escapes a forbidding testing facility in Jak Payne's video for Prospa's banging Control The Party.&nbsp;Shot in the soon to be demolished Fawley Power Station, the concept centres on a group of unwilling test subjects, reminiscent of the MK Ultra experiments of the 1960s. As the lead character, played by model Alice Dellal, enters the facility, she notices several others in various states of distress.&nbsp;With styling that nods towards Jean-Paul Gaultier's stunning bondage pieces&nbsp;in The Fifth Element, and a heavy use of dramatic red and green lighting, this is a dystopia that no-one wants to be a part of. Our protagonist escapes the facility with a little help from a friend, but as she sits on the beach enjoying her new found freedom, you can't help but wonder if she is going to get dragged right back in.&nbsp;

Sigrid sits alone in a waiting room, in Zhang + Knight&#39;s video for Don&#39;t Feel Like Crying - an apt visual metaphor for that time when you&#39;re wondering when some heavy&nbsp;feelings are going to kick in.The directing duo also use a subtle change of bright colour to reflect shifting emotion - and idea that&#39;s well executed in Ruben Wooden-Dechamps lovely cinematography, and the grade by Jonny Thorpe.

Felix Brady&#39;s second video for Col3trane is another VFX-fired feat of visual ingenuity, to show he&#39;s a young director who&#39;s becoming a dab hand at bringing old school tech bang up to date.Like his first Col3trane video - for <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2018/01/18/col3trane-ebenezer-language-felix-brady" target="_blank">Language (ft Ebenezer)</a>, nominated at this year&#39;s UKMVAs - this one for Tyler sees multiple versions of the young London rapper turn up in one continuous shot. Where the first video drops Col3trane at different spots across East London, this one is far more in-your-face and somewhat claustrophobic. A swirling camera picks up different&nbsp;Coles, going after the same girl - and all takes place inside&nbsp;(and outside)&nbsp;the confined space of a caravan travelling down a country road.Once again Brady puts his faith to MOCO, just like in the Language video, and makes the most of Col3trane&#39;s undoubted charisma, charm and flair of the visually inventive (he&#39;s also nominated at the UKMVAs for the Oscar Hudson-directed video for <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2018/08/08/col3trane-fear-loathing-britney-oscar-hudson" target="_blank">Fear &amp; Loathing/Britney</a>.&nbsp;

Col3trane 'Tyler' by Felix Brady

French rapper Kobo comes to London to bring his track Baltimore to life - and director Felix Brady puts the viewer at the heart of the action in this everyday story of gangster life.Brady&#39;s clever conceit is for all the action to take place within the masked Kobo and his buddies&#39; most significant domain - their car. The camera constantly revolves&nbsp;from it&#39;s position on the passenger seat, and courtesy of motion control reveals the moments&nbsp;of their lives that add up to&nbsp;make a bigger picture. And the moments tell us that it&#39;s getting harder for them all the time.&nbsp;

Oscar Hudson returns with his first music video since winning Best Director at the UK Music Video Awards last year, and delivers another gem of in-camera visual effects ingenuity for Young Fathers, shot on a Scottish moor, where all manner of odd things are happening.Now available everywhere, following its Apple Music exclusive, Hudson&#39;s video for Holy Ghost uses thermal image technology to combine a video with a breathtaking look, together with a slow release&nbsp;of dark humour. It&#39;s also a&nbsp;performance video, involving lipsync and choreography,&nbsp;executed over a vast expanse of land - all captured&nbsp;on one camera.&nbsp;That was a rare,&nbsp;high-powered military thermal camera, which led the footage to look infra-red&nbsp;- or as&nbsp;&nbsp;Young Fathers&rsquo; Graham &lsquo;G&rsquo; Hastings has dubbed it: &ldquo;Shot in Infra-Dead&trade;&rdquo; &ndash;&nbsp;and zooming in onto a distant hillside&nbsp;where some very strange things seemed to be happening. As Oscar Hudson explains below, finding the camera and then using it for the purposes of making a music video was a very unusual experience.Shot on location in Perthshire in Scotland, Holy Ghost is a technical marvel, combining cinematography, survelliance and choreography to unique effect. Most importantly, a wicked sense of humour runs through it, from the opening (non-infrared) shot, to the last.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The final instalment of Zhang + Knight&#39;s Vertigo&nbsp;trilogy for Eden, Float depicts the breakdown of a young couple&rsquo;s relationship after a supernatural encounter with a meteor.&nbsp;Their third video for the Irish singer-songwriter is also the third video that&nbsp;Zhang + Knight&nbsp;(the directing monicker of duo Hannah Palumbo and Linden Feng) have created with FRIEND, and happily coincides with the announcement of their <a href="http://friendlondon.tv/directors/zhang-knight#cat-musicvideos" target="_blank">joining&nbsp;the London-based production company</a>.Luke Tierney, head of music video at FRIEND says: &quot;We&rsquo;re delighted to sign Zhang + Knight, our first music video signing in two years! I&rsquo;ve been a long time fan since watching their ATO music video they shot in China. As hard working as they are talented, it&rsquo;s easy to see why they were nominated for Best New Director at the UKMVAs after only one year in the industry. Super excited for what&rsquo;s next.&quot;&nbsp;

The second of three videos that Zhang + Knight have done for Irish singer-songwriter Eden is, like it&#39;s predecessor for <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2017/12/01/eden-gold-zhangknight" target="_blank">Gold</a>, a sort of surreal portrait.In this case the subject is&nbsp;an unfortunate, incapacitated man freed to wander beyond his room, into a wasteland between tower blocks, in his imagination.&nbsp;
