Andrew Donoho brilliantly blends CG and live action in his promo&nbsp;for George Ezra's Anyone For You, using Extended Reality (or XR)&nbsp;technology to drive the concept, and frame another winning Ezra performance."To parallel the idea of George being 'anyone for you', I captured him in five natural environments with a distinct atmosphere to match his ever-changing appearance," explains Donoho, who also acted as VFX artist for the video.&nbsp;"We filmed the video in an XR stage [in Los Angeles] using entirely CG backgrounds, rendered live on a 80 foot screen, to playfully give his backgrounds their own digital identity crisis.[imgtoken data:1]"As his artificial worlds break down like a person changing themselves for love, we introduce one of my favourite techniques of all time: a live, digital feedback loop of George projected behind George ad infinitum over the walls and floor."Ezra brings his customary playful energy to the project, and is mesmerising to watch throughout - especially when that feedback loop of his performance takes over the screen, perpetually repeating over and over like an infinity mirror.&nbsp;The combination of artificial and real elements feels fresh and seamless, and Ezra's bubbly presence heightens the carefree mood.&nbsp;

Will Meyer collaborates once again with Future Islands' lead singer Samuel T. Herring - he directed the <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2018/06/15/bad-bad-not-good-i-dont-know-will-mayer/53596" target="_blank">UKMVA-winning video for BadBadNotGood's I Don't Know</a>&nbsp;featuring Herring in 2018 - for Moonlight, from the forthcoming new album As Long As You Are. It is a dissection of a relationship stuck in the doldrums, featuring actors&nbsp;Matthew Gray Gubler and Callie Hernandez, who go through a mysterious process to rediscover their chemistry.The couple are stuck in a purgatorial hotel room, disconnected from each other. When Hernandez leaves the room she triggers thoughts of moments from their relationship. Then cracks in the room appear, and then the process repeats. Each time either of them&nbsp;leave the room&nbsp;the memories appear, and get happier, and the cracks in the room get larger.&nbsp;Finally the walls come tumbling down. It is&nbsp;a metaphor with a positive message that feels very much a reaction on the stresses and strains caused to relationships by lockdown life.&nbsp;
