Directing duo rubberband. tap into a notion of mortality&nbsp;for US&nbsp;soulman Omar Apollo's super-visceral promo for Ice Slippin.The video is a dazzling multi-format video,&nbsp;featuring a wide variety of footage, from live-action performance through to vintage animation and home-video snapshots. And at the core is the fully committed performance of a Apollo - and its surely no coincidence that he exudes physical beauty like the modern version of his namesake&nbsp;Greek God.It's a&nbsp;tour de force&nbsp;of creativity, and has a poignant, lingering feel that doesn't quite let up after viewing.&nbsp;A masterclass of music video creativity,&nbsp;anchored by an emotive performance and inspired production techniques.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]“This collaboration with Omar was in pursuit of expanding the final millisecond of one’s life," explain rubberband.&nbsp;"In this case, Omar spoke about the moment of his near fatal accident on the way to come out to his family on the black iced roads of Indiana."We wanted to make a film that was both literal in its visualizations of physical, corporeal death and rebirth through medical imaging and non-traditional image making technology and abstract in its representation of the internal recreation of his consciousness.[imgtoken data:2]<blockquote>We wanted the video to [reflect] the many different physical pieces of what it means to be a human...</blockquote>We utilized EEGs, ECGs, neuronal activity simulation, heart ultrasound, brain MRI, volumetric capture, motion capture, audio spectrography, thermal imaging, hand cut emulsion transitions, archival video, CGI, print and scanned 2D animation, and standard 35mm to capture Omar."We wanted the video to be an object that reflected the many different physical pieces of what it means to be a human and what it would take, in the realm of magical realism, to rebuild a human soul.”

David Wilson directs a stunning 'monster film' for MASSTOR's&nbsp;Self Control, a cover&nbsp;of&nbsp;Raf’s 1984 hit.&nbsp;After spending his free time experimenting with Midjourney&nbsp;in September of 2022 - and creating @RetroFuturistDaddies, a gorgeously curated feed of AI-generated moustachioed men as a result of it - David Wilson caught the eye of LA-based artist MASSTOR, who enlisted his help in creating this&nbsp;tour de force amalgam&nbsp;of performance, character design and queer muscle aesthetic.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]Blending high-fashion nostalgia, retrofuturistic imagery and moments of pure fantasy, we see the artist hanging out in a bar, surrounded by muscle men and fellow plush creatures, having a whale of a time.It's camp, eclectic and completely engrossing, and explores areas of queer iconography that spoke directly to Wilson’s passions, having carved his name as an ever-growing presence in the&nbsp;queer filmmaking community.&nbsp;From costume design through to art direction and cinematography, it's a polished visual that retains a certain dancefloor grit and sex appeal,&nbsp;and there's one thing that can be almost guaranteed - you won't see another music video like it today![imgtoken data:2]

He is the new star of Arabic hiphop, and now&nbsp;Palestinian/French/Algerian/Serbian artist&nbsp;Saint Levant has made a truly outstanding music video for new track Nails - directed by LA-based director-photographer&nbsp;Mattias Russo Larsson, featuring&nbsp;former adult actress and activist Mia Khalifa.Saint Levant - aka Marwan Abdelhamid - performs Nails in&nbsp;blend of English, French and Arabic to illustrate a story of rising above his critics, and&nbsp;Russo Larsson's video pulsates with energy, colour, character and wit from start&nbsp;to finish, with a vibrantly diverse supporting cast, headed by the charismatic presence of Khalifa. And, perhaps not surprisingly, some great nails.Commissioned by John Hassay in London, and shot over two days in LA, this is a hugely entertaining, buoyantly creative and empowering&nbsp;tour de force. It heralds&nbsp;Mattias Russo Larsson as a major up and coming talent in the music video business. One of the most exciting debuts we've seen this year.[imgtoken data:1]

Sebastien Nuta romanticizes the End of the World in&nbsp;his promo for Dana Williams.&nbsp;Across a bold series of studio vignettes, we see Williams perform with minimal props or visual accompaniments,&nbsp;commanding attention with her otherworldly presence and style.&nbsp;The concept is strikingly effective, encapsulating the bittersweet emotions of the track in a simple, stripped-back fashion. Yet the unexpectedly vibrant primary colour palette adds a fresh, memorable twist to the imagery.&nbsp;

Dana-Williams-'End-Of-The-World'-by-Sebastien-Nuta

Dana Williams delivers a message to a former lover during a late night drive, in Sebastien Nuta's promo for You Win.&nbsp;The promo sees Williams travel across several city locations, where she performs in a medley of short vignettes, each one beautifully shot and art directed.&nbsp;DoP&nbsp;Kayla Hoff uses experimental&nbsp;frame rates to create an ethereal, not-quite-real&nbsp;vibe, where the visions in the artist's head collide&nbsp;with the reality in front of her.&nbsp;
