Georgia Hudson returns to music videos to pull out all the stops for P!nk's old school banger Trustfall, the title track from the US superstar's new album.It's a cinematic epic in keeping with P!nk's huge (and hugely consistent)&nbsp;body of work over the past two-plus decades - where the artist plays indominatable super-guardian to a new generation of kids who need the belief to find their wings. And of course they do, over a series of beautifully realised set-ups across LA cityscapes, in suburbia and on beachside highways - and terrific wirework too.With&nbsp;sumptuous cinematography of Gaul Porat and visceral choreography from Ryan Heffington, it is above all a glorious return to the medium by Georgia Hudson - reminiscent of her last collab with P!nk, for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2017/08/16/pnk-what-about-us-georgia-hudson/49275" target="_blank">What About Us</a>, five&nbsp;years ago - and also co-produced by the team now known as MrMr - Katie Lambert and Martha McGuirk.Fist-pumping, big screen&nbsp;stuff. Now they just need to bring back proper MTV.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;[imgtoken data:2][imgtoken data:3]&nbsp;&nbsp;

P!nk 'Trustfall' by Georgia Hudson

P!nk-'Trustfall'-by-Georgia-Hudson

Following the breathtaking video&nbsp;for <a href="http://Florence + The Machine 'King' by Autumn de Wilde">King</a>, Autumn de Wilde continues her collaboration with Florence + The Machine in&nbsp;this untamed promo for Heaven Is Here.&nbsp;Taking things back to where they started in the previous video, Florence appears with the same group of dancers,&nbsp;this time appearing as one of them,&nbsp;losing the purple shroud and the supernatural aura of her previous incarnation.&nbsp;The performance is feral, impulsive and assertive, and the overall atmosphere&nbsp;feels incredibly raw and authentic. This is certainly the&nbsp;spiritual successor to King, which feels otherworldly and transcendent whilst building upon the abstract narrative and themes of the music.&nbsp;As mentioned in our review of the King,&nbsp;many of the people involved in making the&nbsp;video, from the Ukranian production company Radioaktive and other freelance film crew, are&nbsp;now fighting for the survival of their country, and their lives. Our prayers are with them and their fellow citizens.

Florence + The Machine 'Heaven Is Here' by Autumn de Wilde

Florence + The Machine - Heaven Is Here

Florence + The Machine returns and reunites with Autumn de Wilde, with the epic video for King - steeped in religious imagery and most poignantly filmed in Kyiv weeks before Ukraine was plunged into war.Florence Welch appears to a troubled young man (played by Jack Riddiford) as a floating vision in a purple shroud, in the manner of the Virgin Mary. From this gripping beginning,&nbsp;de Wilde allows an extraordinary set-piece to play out, with the help of choreographer Ryan Heffington and a visual effects department led by Denis Reva.Florence is joined by her female followers within the grounds of a half-built building, and she and her disciplines eventually, breathtakingly, take to the air, reflecting the characteristically Florence-like nature of the song, striving for a higher,&nbsp;transcendent level.[imgtoken data:1]It's the second time Autumn de Wilde has worked with Florence + The Machine, following the UKMVA-winning video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2018/06/22/florence-machine-big-god-autumn-de-wilde/53767" target="_blank">Big God</a>. This shares the exquisitely composed quality of that video, on a more ambitious scale, and also that strong sense of female solidarity&nbsp;between Florence and a group of dancers who become personalities in themselves once they arrive on screen.&nbsp;A powerful video. But now&nbsp;many of the people involved in making the video, from the production company Radioaktive and other freelance film crew, are&nbsp;now fighting for the survival of their country, and their lives. A truly terrifying thought. Our prayers are with them and their fellow citizens.

The world comes together to celebrate movement and music in Filip Nilsson's video for Major Lazer and Marcus Mumford.For the project, Nilsson curated user-generated clips from 28 countries, with only one instruction- "Do your best. It doesn’t need to be perfect. Be yourself. We like you as you are.”Nilsson and his team enlisted&nbsp;renowned choreographer Ryan Heffington to devise&nbsp;the dance routine. "We then uploaded a video tutorial to 'shoot bibles' we created - one for dancers, one for musicians -&nbsp;and distributed to talent we’d found online or through casting agents," explains Object &amp; Animal executive producer Dom Thomas.&nbsp;As a result, the team received a mind-boggling&nbsp;1000 clips from 28 countries. Filip then directed Marcus Mumford - already a dab hand at self-shooting from his own lockdown video for You'll Never Walk Alone - via Skype. Then in Sweden, Andreas&nbsp;Arvidsson worked with Nilsson to edit the bank of footage, using just over 100 clips and never repeating an individual - with the exception of Mumford.&nbsp;The resulting crowd-sourced visual is&nbsp;simple and stripped-back,&nbsp;yet full of energy, character, diversity, and hope. It's an uplifting thing, a testament to our society's&nbsp;collaborative nature and ability to create moments of joy in the most unusual of circumstances.

Colin Solal Cardo's latest collaboration with&nbsp;Héloïse Letissier, aka Christine and the Queens, is an ambitious short film bringing to life the singer and producer's new EP&nbsp;La Vita Nuova.Shot entirely within the&nbsp;l’Opéra National de Paris, this is an epic visual realisation of the struggles she has to go through to achieve her unique pop persona. And through that process, she encounters and struggles with a devilish creature - 'The Fauna', played by&nbsp;Félix Maritaud.The film contains blistering performances - and brilliant choreography by the legendary Ryan Heffington -&nbsp;as&nbsp;Letissier works through the building, from the roof, to backstage with her company of dancers, to onstage,&nbsp;assuming different characters thoughout.Finally, in a big production co-starring&nbsp;Caroline Polachek, a new, fiercer 'Chris' is born. And she is taking no prisoners...

Knocking it out of the candy coloured park Dano Cerny delivers the latest video for Labrith, Sia and Diplo supergroup, LSD in No New Friends.Featuring Maddy Zeigler&nbsp;and choreographed by Ryan Heffington - renewing Sia&#39;s collaboration with both that began so famously with the video for Chandelier - this is arguably the most accomplished yet of LSD&#39;s psychedelia-influenced videos, with Maddy a giant that bestrides Labrinth&#39;s world. But then she is herself dwarfed by the celestial being that is Diplo...

Sir Paul serves up an all-singing, all-dancing Christmastime treat, starring the delightful Emma Stone and Macca himself, and courtesy of a co-directing collaboration between Brantley Gutierrez and Ryan Heffington.It starts as a disgruntled-looking Ms Stone arrives at her appointment with the mysterious Dr Lorenz - played by McCartney. In truth this dialogue-filled opening is a reminder that McCartney&#39;s incredible talent does not in any way extend to acting. But this is a just a device for the &#39;Behavioural Hynotist and Meteorologist&#39; to mesmerize the unhappy Stone into transforming into the astonished lead of a marvellous musical production number&nbsp;for Who Cares.It&#39;s choreographed by Heffington, of course, creating a Silent Era-inspired choreography to go with the black and white palette of the song and dance routine. Stone is marvellous - and Macca is a lot more comfortable performing the song than delivering lines of dialogue.Through it all comes an important anti-bullying message, as Macca answers the&nbsp;rhetorical question&nbsp;of the songtitle with &quot;I do&quot;. The sentiment is&nbsp;bang on for the time of year - and all year long. To be&nbsp;enjoyed long after we&#39;ve packed away the tinsel.

Paul McCartney - Who Cares

The celebrated choreographer Ryan Heffington turns director and actor - and choreographer and dancer too &ndash; in this short film for Fleet Foxes.Heffington puts himself in a position of turmoil&nbsp;within a scenario of liberal middle-class privilege. He is already love-lorn - rejected by the man he loves - when he gets another hammer blow at his own cool and chic dinner party. Realism fades, and then comes the catharsis.&ldquo;It was the pure honesty of the music and Robin Pecknold&rsquo;s voice that originally drew me to direct/choreograph If You Need To, Keep Time on Me,&quot; Heffington has said in a statement.&nbsp;&quot;Heartbreak being one of the most honest and visceral symptoms of love, I wanted to paint a realistic picture of humanity and share a story that so many of us have encountered.&quot;Using dance as an offering has defined my adult life and I believe in its healing power &ndash; for both the dancer and the witness. I wanted to capture this in the film, whether it is seen as surreal or organic.&rdquo;

After his biggest movie hit yet with Baby Driver - the film that was inspired by his late 90s video for Mint Royale - Edgar Wright makes a surprise return to music videos for Beck. And it also could be about to be part of something big.The video for Colors (the title track from Beck&#39;s latest&nbsp;album)&nbsp;is a suitably dazzling display of colour and choreography, with Beck and co-star Alison Brie as the monochrome core within an army of &#39;aliens&#39; performing a&nbsp;Busby Berkeley-like dance routine - choreographed by Ryan Heffington, who also created the brilliant choreography at the start of Baby.&nbsp;This is all presented in alternate keys of blue and yellow - the primary hues on the wonderful&nbsp;Colors album cover, by British designers Jimmy Turrell and Steve Stacey.It&#39;s also <a href="http://apple.co/ColorsMusicVideo" target="_blank">exclusive to Apple Music</a>. Not the first of its kind, for sure, but this new Beck video is an important flagbearer in the&nbsp;new drive by Apple to increase the take-up on its music service, via exclusive music videos and a generally much improved music video service. Two others, for A Tribe Called Quest and Kylie Minogue, are part of this initial rollout of exclusives for&nbsp;this service touted as having<a href="http://variety.com/2018/biz/news/apple-music-adds-thousands-of-videos-including-new-ones-from-a-tribe-called-quest-beck-kylie-minogue-watch-1202738947/" target="_blank">&nbsp;recently added &#39;thousands of videos&#39;</a>. It&#39;s what Apple is describing as &quot;the best music video-watching experience available anywhere&quot; and &quot;ad-free&quot;.Not, of course,&nbsp;free-to-view. And if you&#39;re not signed up to <a href="http://applemusic.com/musicvideos">watch videos on Apple Music</a>, and are still not tempted&nbsp;to do so, you can still watch the trailer here.

Featuring Zoe Saldana, narrated by Julianne Moore, and directed by Blake Martin, Sia&#39;s new video is also another notable collaboration between the artist and choreographer-extraordinaire Ryan Heffington, who transforms a drama of a pregnant woman (Saldana)&nbsp;who discovers she&#39;s HIV positive, into a physical metaphor of the struggle she now has to confront.The dancers in the piece represent the battle that is going on in the woman&#39;s body, and&nbsp;Heffington&#39;s regular muse Denna Thomsen plays Medicine, the lead figure in a fight against the disease. But Saldana herself also acquits herself as&nbsp;a dancer in the piece which was made to to help the search to end HIV and AIDS.&nbsp;&nbsp;All proceeds from the track support&nbsp;<a href="https://www.endhiv.com/" target="_blank">endhiv.com</a>&nbsp;and its mission to find a cure of the disease that is the No.1 killer of women of reproductive age.

Can a music video make a difference?&nbsp;It would be awfully nice to think so. And, however unlikely that might seem,&nbsp;Sia and Daniel Askill, Ryan Heffington and Maddie Ziegler - and in this case, a significant number of other young dancers - are going for it.The latest in the series of Sia music videos starring Ziegler&nbsp;- which have all, to a greater or lesser degree,&nbsp;channeled the artist&#39;s sense of pain &ndash;&nbsp;confronts the terrible reality of the Orlando massacre, in its own way. Which is a way that makes you think about being alive and then not being alive.Will it make a difference? Probably not. But this work recognises that change will only come by remembering the&nbsp;victims.&bull; <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2016/09/sia-the-greatest-music-video-orlando-kendrick-lamar/498932/" target="_blank">The Atlantic: Sia&#39;s Wonderful and Sad Video for Orlando</a>

Massive Attack return with their first new music for over five years, and a video for the excellent Tricky-featured Take It There by Hiro Murai&nbsp;which is pretty much everything&nbsp;you could hope for.The situation is familiar Murai territory - LA suburbia&nbsp;at night, shot naturally&nbsp;by DoP Larkin Sieple &ndash; into which comes the presence of a barely recognisable John Hawkes - shambling, decrepit, in a really bad way... and with his own personal band of demons.And what appears like a dramatic set-up becomes something very music video - a bit&nbsp;like Thriller, even, through the joint, bleaker perspective of Massive Attack, Hiro Murai and choreographer Ryan Heffington.&nbsp;A match made in&nbsp;heaven.

Paul McCartney is due to&nbsp;release of a remastered version of his solo&nbsp;album Pipes Of Peace, now paired with this&nbsp;extra&nbsp;promotional video&nbsp;remake of Say Say Say, the&nbsp;duet with Michael Jackson&nbsp;which was the&nbsp;number one-hit single in the US upon its release in 1983.The new video has&nbsp;a lot to live up to, as&nbsp;the&nbsp;filmic original&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLEhh_XpJ-0">Say Say Say</a>&nbsp;is positively bursting&nbsp;with the pair&#39;s charismatic showmanship. Instead this relies on excellent hip-hop dance choreography by Ryan Heffington - and&nbsp;the&nbsp;man behind the choreography for Sia&#39;s Chandelier and Elastic Heart, Vince Haycock&#39;s&nbsp;How Big How Blue How Beautiful&nbsp;series&nbsp;for Florence +&nbsp;The Machine, and lots more, is directing this one too.&nbsp;

The drama depicts the&nbsp;clash of a youthful Welch&rsquo;s compassion against the violent feuding around her. The raw emotional performance of Welch is artfully set against the&nbsp;striking winter landscapes of Scotland.The Odyssey is&nbsp;set to cover all tracks in the album through this year and into&nbsp;2016, and will culminate in a long, chaptered musical film.&nbsp;

Florence + The Machine 'Queen Of Peace' and 'Long & Lost' by Vincent Haycock

Florence-+-The-Machine-'Queen-Of-Peace-And-Long-&-Lost'-by-Vincent-Haycock

The tempestuous&nbsp;Florence Welch and director Vincent Haycock are back with a new instalment in a&nbsp;series of videos for her upcoming album How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful, and once again&nbsp;reality transforms into something far more theatrical,&nbsp;as Florence is caught in an intense struggle with her self-destructive alter-ego. Acting up like a monstrous tantrum-throwing&nbsp;inner child, this alternative Florence is played by&nbsp;Deena Thompson, who also featured Welch and Haycock&#39;s lovely video for&nbsp;<a href="https://vimeo.com/123356471">St Jude</a>.&nbsp;For Ship To Wreck,&nbsp;the setting moves to London, but the visual style and themes established in the previous videos remains -&nbsp;flowing camerawork, passionate relationships evoked through drama and modern dance.This has a&nbsp;stronger&nbsp;focus&nbsp;on Florence&#39;s personal demons, shot through with wry humour, as she storms through life in a&nbsp;flurry of violent outbursts and&nbsp;sleeping pills...
