Jungle 'Back On 74' by Charlie Di Placido & J Lloyd

Jungle - Back On 74 (Official Video)

Detective, superhero, Mandela... and now hucksterish TV shopping salesman. Idris Elba can do it all - as he demonstrates in Jamie-James Medina's bright, breezy and multi-layered&nbsp;video for Big Talk, the actor's collab with Manchester producer duo&nbsp;Solardo.In the video, Idris is the charismatic host of&nbsp;BIG TALK, broadcasting live on lo-fi cams from a basement studio. As Solardo and two girls man the phones, he is delivering an evangelistic sermon for the financially interested - and his financial advice is entirely based around the mysterious substance of Ambergris - the unique form of waste product created by whales that can be used in making perfume.[imgtoken data:1]Medina employs some familiar devices of the shopping channel aesthetic, camerawork, stock footage, in-camera FX and titles - merging with 80s/90s&nbsp;music video greenscreen FX.&nbsp;But within the visual fun, there is something rather more serious going on. The insidiousness of the host and his message is where Idris comes into his own, enabling him to get his teeth into the character.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As Jamie-James Medina explained in his treatment for the video: "Idris is the host of BIG TALK - a little show about BIG ideas. He produces a weekly sermon for the financially interested. He is part financial advisor, part spiritual guru. And all hustler. Beneath the views on the day’s business news, our host is operating a surreal and dangerous game of deception.[imgtoken data:2]"On this broadcast, he seems to only be interested in one very specific natural resource: ambergris aka whale vomit. In its purest form, the intestinal slurry can be found bobbing through the ocean, where it slowly hardens under the sun. Herman Melville, author of Moby Dick, described the smell of whale’s vomit as 'a faint stream of perfume.'&nbsp;It is this stream — the crystalized ambergris — that washes ashore and has become a highly coveted perfume ingredient, used to fix scent to skin. Indeed, a group of fishermen in Yemen stumbled upon a small chunk of the stuff in the belly of a dead whale in 2021, which they sold for $1.5 million."Our host looks into the camera and says, 'If you’re ready to storm the beaches in search of AMBERGRIS, then I have a deal for you! Call us right now on 0898-BIG-T£LK!'&nbsp;[imgtoken data:3]As the track continues to bang, we watch as the host pulls a brick of ambergris from his pocket and delivers a verse from Melville’s Moby Dick."A message on the&nbsp;dangers of human greed wrapped up into an alluring package - and it's a banging track. What more could you want?&nbsp;

Solardo & Idris Elba 'Big Talk' by Jamie-James Medina

Solardo-&-Idris-Elba-'Big-Talk'-by-Jamie-james-Medina

Pip + Lib explore mental health and the stigma of speaking out, in their touching visual for HYYTS.&nbsp;In a nondescript pub,&nbsp;inhabited by a handful of regulars and an increasingly angsty bartender,&nbsp;karaoke night is in full swing. Adam from HYYTS is next up on-stage, singing&nbsp;along to barely readable lyrics on an old&nbsp;computer monitor.&nbsp;The&nbsp;poignant performance is in striking contrast&nbsp;to the emotionless audience, who represent a society that&nbsp;still very much believe&nbsp;in the idea of keeping a&nbsp;stiff upper lip&nbsp;and hiding any emotion.&nbsp;It's a beautifully minimalist piece, enhanced by the everyday, universal setting, and the Glaswegian pop duo's ability to visualise a whirlwind of emotion&nbsp;in a single glance or dance move. Emanating a sense of freedom and acceptance, the pair's interaction and support throughout the performance is refreshing and highly relevant, resulting in an unforgettably powerful concept.&nbsp;"We're really proud of the video we've made for SOS and even more proud to have debuted it on @brothersinarmsscotland," comment HYYTS. "We wrote SOS about mental health and specifically the stigma amongst men that comes attached to reaching out to other men for help so it's the perfect place to share the video for the first time."&nbsp;

F*** this photocopier. Marika rocks her corporate hellhole in this simple, effervescent video by Louis Bhose.Somehow, Marika Hackman has ‘given up her soul’ for an ill-fitting suit and a dead-end office job. And she’s starting to wonder how she got here. In a fantasy sequence, she performs inside an enormous, strobing photocopier. Which she proceeds to smash.Hackman has charisma in buckets, or ‘BDE’, to borrow her phrase. In the visual cycle for her upcoming album Any Human Friend, we’re beginning to realise quite how much comic potential the songwriter has always had. Most recently, she had a star turn in Will Hooper’s dry and relatable <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2019/05/23/marika-hackman-im-not-where-you-are-will-hooper/58874">I’m Not Where You Are</a>. It’s a treat to see rockstar Hackman, and in&nbsp;classic pop video mode; The One could easily be a long lost visual for Heaven 17 or The Human League.The concept is Hackman’s own. According to Agile Films,&nbsp;the story behind it reads a little like this:“Marika Hackman: I want to do a performance vid in a photocopier, where the imagined rockstar in me performs with gusto as the mediocre, let-down version of me watches.Hack Video Director: say no more”.

It&#39;s hard being a clown in Duncan Loudon&#39;s video for Canadian artist MorMor.As with his acclaimed videos for Flohio, Loudon embraces lo-fi camera trickery to create a world around MorMor. The loss of innocence, and the level of isolation and brutality in the modern world is expressed through old school techniques that the director makes fresh.&nbsp;It was shot on 16mm and 35mm,&nbsp;and the film scanned at Electric Theatre Collective.&nbsp;&ldquo;It was so cool to do all the post, including film scanning in one place,&quot; says producer India Lee. &quot;It felt like the old school way! Normally when you send your film off that&#39;s that and you can&#39;t relook at it or rescan it due to the usual time and cost issues.. but at Electric this isn&#39;t the case and you have full control over your project. Love it.&rdquo;Colourist Luke Morrison adds: &ldquo;The whole purpose of investing in a scanner was to allow us to support directors shooting on film, and also enable us to have control of the images we are working on and enables us to handle tight turn arounds and deadlines for our clients. It was fantastic to partner with Duncan and the team at Somesuch.&rdquo;

Ninian Doff is back with his first music video since 2016, and it&#39;s a reunion with The Chemical Brothers to tell a wonderful shaggy dog&#39;s story, all about a super-talented pooch, trained to take on man&#39;s biggest challenges.Rescued from the streets by a young female scientist (Tegen Short), our canine hero/heroine is fast-tracked into a secret programme that leads&nbsp;to the cockpit of a F1 car speeding around a test circuit - and then behind the controls of a space rocket.It&#39;s classic Doff - outlandish, charming, beautifully executed, and a very apt visual to The Chems&#39; track We&#39;ve Got To Try, the latest release from their forthcoming album, No Geography.It&#39;s also the second time Doff has collaborated with the iconic dance outfit, following <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2015/08/18/chemical-brothers-%E2%80%98sometimes-i-feel-so-deserted%E2%80%99-ninian-doff/36165" target="_blank">Sometimes I Feel Deserted</a>. And just a huge pleasure to have Ninian Doff - whos first feature Boyz In The Wood (starring Eddie Izzard)&nbsp;will be released later this year - back in the world of music videos, at least for a while.

Luke Davies sets up Bossman Birdie for the bigtime&nbsp;in the video for the aptly named&nbsp;Walk The Walk.A simple performance against a white infinity cove turns into an all-out brag here, as we watch Bossie and co. pose in a&nbsp;photoshoot for some very familiar-looking magazines.The video is brimming with fun at every turn - from the onset joyous camaraderie of the cast and crew, to the great, creative magazine covers themselves (and the great grime-related puns for each cover). All in all a winning combination that proves Bossie and Davies don&#39;t just talk the talk.

Emil Nava teams up with ex-One Direction heartthrob Liam Payne and Migos member Quavo for the slick, colourful Strip That Down.We all know Emil Nava is a dab hand with a slick and polished pop video and this is no exception. Moody lighting that washes the space with colour and a background that contrasts gorgeously with the performer - Nava has his complimentary colour theory nailed down perfectly here. This is what make&#39;s Liam&#39;s black &amp; white performance to camera all the more visually impactful - the video becomes a montage of contrasts and eye-catching visual stimuli.

Vaults&#39;&nbsp;version of One Day I&#39;ll Fly Away is the soundtrack for this year&#39;s annual blockbuster John Lewis Christmas ad.&nbsp;It says something for the standalone video - the music video directing debut of choreographer Alexandra Green &ndash; that Buster the boxer dog&#39;s antics&nbsp;on his family&#39;s new trampoline&nbsp;are not missed.This is a wonderfully choreographed piece of work, exploring the many facets of the self. Human bodies undergo&nbsp;metamorphoses to become flowing shapes growing from a centre, and a series of impossible mirror shots further fracture the idea of the self. With costume flowing and sprawling around the dancers, and a dramatically sparse location to boot, the video is a visually striking piece of contemporary dance with a rich, classical twist.
