This is a highly impressive, very atmospheric video for Fryars&#39; Wedding Crasher (Pts I &amp; II) by new directing duo Jamie and Jamie.&nbsp;Shot at Temple Studios, the gigantic four-floor set for the Punchdrunk and National Theatre co-production &lsquo;The Drowned Man: A Hollywood Fable&rsquo; in London, the promo is a impressionistic visualization of Fryars hard-boiled narrative song, and the influence of David Lynch looms large. And using an extraordinary theatrical set to create the atmposphere of 80s Americana is an inspired&nbsp;move.&nbsp;

Fryars 'Wedding Crasher Pts. I & II' by Jamie and Jamie

James Lees takes young French artist Elisa Jo into the depths of wintry England for her first music video, for the song Defeated, and thanks to the help of a few friends was able to achieve a true sense of gritty British cinema due to shooting on 35mm with some of the last film stock being produced by Fuji&hellip;James Lees on making the video for Elisa Jo&rsquo;s Undefeated&ldquo;For her first music promo proper, Elisa Jo and her label wanted a performance video with a distinctive British feel. After listening to the track I felt the video should echo the melancholy and desolation of the lyrics and most of all, the honesty. No tricks, no twists, just Elisa and the emotion of her song.&ldquo;Regarding choosing the locations I&rsquo;ve always felt the flat unending landscapes and classic British suburban estates of near where I grew up in the Midlands are very cinematic and a perfect reflection of real Britain. So we went and shot the whole thing in and around Peterborough. The landscapes and portraits we were looking to capture just lent themselves to film so perfectly it made me really push to shoot on 35mm. Luckily this became a reality with the generosity of Fuji and the incredible support of Chris Youlton at Arri.&ldquo;Working with Ula Pontikos to capture everything in it&rsquo;s raw, untouched simplicity was a total joy. After two years of not shooting on film I&rsquo;m desperate to keep using it again just as it seems to be dying &ndash; Fuji have ceased production of film stock and Technicolour is due to close it&rsquo;s lab next month. Hopefully the continuation of Kodak and the i-dailies lab will mean we still have the opportunity to make this aesthetic choice for some time to come!&rdquo;

Elisa Jo ‘Defeated’ by James Lees

Elisa Jo 'Defeated' Dir: James Lees

Following completion of his debut feature <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watchv=ZRE9Zzu655s" target="_blank">Shank</a>, M.A. returns to music videos with this summery and quintessentially English clip for Caspa &amp; Mr Hudson's Love Never Dies.
"The whole concept for me was to create a hyper-nostalgic cinematic video that connects to the viewer's inner youth and I really do believe we've archived something profound in its delivery," says M.A.
"Set In a park, the promo shows the emotional story of a group of children (who later turn into teenagers) and the human connections they have with each other.
"We had a huge number of narrative set ups to cover in a space of eight hours and also due to the budget, we couldn't really get an AD in so I just got on with it and did it myself, which is always fun. Thanks to a great production team and a wonderfully talented cast who took on my direction really well on set, we managed to finish it an hour before schedule."
