No Rome navigates the human issues of a tech-driven downfall in Ben Brook's impressive take on a dystopian near-futureworld for Brother.With a complex interaction between visuals, No Rome observes a society spiralling out of control on screens, from the relative safety of his underground bunker - a refuge from the world outside, but also a prison.With cinematography by Stephen Dunn, art department from Set Sisters, and a full-bodied grade by Connor Coolbear at ETC, Brooks brings all the elements together - Rome's performance, archive and AI visuals, and screen playbacks - into a really effective, punchy commentary on&nbsp;faith, technology, surveillance and human nature.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Dylan Friese-Greene directs the video for Cian Ducrot's I'll Be Waiting - the poignant story of two children of separated parents expecting their absent father to collect them for a day out. They are waiting - but will he show up?Friese-Greene sets the story in an undefined past, a time of home phones and answering machine messages, giving the sense that he is recalling Ducrot's own personal experience - intensified by him&nbsp;performing the song from the same family home.Stephen Dunn's nostalgic cinematography is among the contributions that make the Friese-Greene's latest video a accomplished work.&nbsp;

Will Clark directs a curiously enigmatic promo for pianist and composer Neil Cowley's new album Battery Life, where the director visualises elements of the music in an&nbsp;an evocative string of abstract vignettes.Clark places Cowley at the core of a series of these moments, that tread a line between dreamworld and reality, as a gardener, making symbolic movements with a real spade.&nbsp;The composition of the visual - in particular the close-up shots of objects and details - helps elevate the dreamlike vibe of the piece, and builds upon the themes of missing memories and gaps in the narrative of events.[imgtoken data:1]"Battery Life is an album of abstract memories and stolen excerpts," Clark explains.&nbsp;"It is Neil’s perception of the past before the detail is filled in. Blurred pictures, strange details, a feeling and above all the freedom to redefine the past at his whim."In an age where we are able to archive virtually any amount of life experience at the press of a button, it calls into question the value of a memory, both undetailed and detailed."&nbsp;&nbsp;

Directing duo Sofia &amp; Suzy direct a thrilling performance promo for Nottingham indie-rock outfit Amber Run.&nbsp;In an underground industrial location soaked with burnt orange light, we see the band perform in a fast-paced frenzy of intimate shots.&nbsp;The directors cut&nbsp;between HD and VHS-style footage to amp up the intensity of the visual, and editor&nbsp;Josh Mannox ensures the breathless pace keeps up right until the final second."We wanted to create a gritty performance-led video using handheld camera work and interesting cinematography to give the scenes a certain intimacy," say Sofia &amp; Suzy. "So we [went] up close and personal with the band, mirroring the intensity of the lyrics."&nbsp;

Tayo Sound enjoys a day in the countryside with his girl - and brings along the bed - in Will Clark's sweet video for Hide And Seek, Tayo's collab with Rudimental.Things begin to take an increasingly surreal turn as the camera rotates over the bed in the meadow, and his girl is replaced by lots of blood-red apples. Tayo’s world is flipped upside down when the lines of reality blur as he searches for someone special… but were they ever real?

Dylan Friese-Greene directs a darkly surreal promo for Amy Michelle.&nbsp;In the video for Welcome To The Sidelines,&nbsp;the artist appears alongside her own evil twin in a saccharine dollhouse world, taking a whirlwind journey that ends up in a fiery climax.&nbsp;The soft pastel colour palette, doll-like styling and enigmatic concept echoes influences such as US artist Melanie Martinez, but with a fresh, contemporary take and a wonderfully disturbing central performance from Michelle.&nbsp;

Will Clark directs the second part of the Backhand double bill with indie-pop foursome Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard.&nbsp;Picking up where Clark's video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2022/01/27/buzzard-buzzard-buzzard-break-right-will-clark/74709">Break Right In</a>&nbsp;left off, we see the band's evil nemesis Mr Monadnock (played with admirable gusto by BBB's lead singer Tom Rees)&nbsp;dominated by an evil blue wig, which forces him to throw dance-shapes around the beautiful Breamore Estate.Building upon the narrative of the first video,&nbsp;it's quite a turn of events. And when the tenacious foursome decide to take back what's theirs, Monadnock seems strangely driven to chase it down.&nbsp;Bonkers, idiosyncratic fun, and a brilliant end to the double-feature.[imgtoken data:1]

Will Clark and&nbsp;Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard continue their collaboration with Break Right In - the first half of a two-part project for tracks from the forthcoming debut album&nbsp;Bankhand Deals.&nbsp;In this video, the band land in a world where rhythm is criminal, so they set out to do something about it. Sneakily breaking into a grand estate, we see them assume disguises and switch wigs on the evil nemesis Mr Monadnock&nbsp;- who looks suspiciously like BBB's lead singer Tom Rees&nbsp;without hair -&nbsp;promising some kind of big&nbsp;payoff in the next chapter.&nbsp;Playful performances and tongue-in-cheek concepts are a trademark of Clark's work with the group, and this video takes the offbeat, fun vibes to new heights - and that's a lot to deliver, especially&nbsp;<a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2021/09/30/buzzard-buzzard-buzzard-you-will-clark/73093">when you've already turned the lead vocalist orange.&nbsp;</a>

The infamous Sunny D scandal from the 90's get a bonkers visual treatment, in Will Clark's promo for Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard's You.&nbsp;Taking us on an obscure, orange juice-fuelled fever dream, we follow vocalist Tom as he downs a tonne of the drink, getting more and more orange until... well he turns into one. Just like internet meme icon The Annoying Orange, his entire body is replaced by the fruit, with only eyes and a mouth to keep singing along.&nbsp;Interspersed with shots of a news crew interviewing the singer, and shots of the band hula-hooping the night away, it's a brilliant visual for a brilliant track.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

Continuing&nbsp;the trend of understated Christmas videos, Mabel explores the downside of the festive period in the video for Loneliest Time Of The Year.&nbsp;Heavily focused on Mabel's performance, the video by Melody Maker has a few simple setups, including the artist sat on her bed and in a living room whilst friends celebrate around her. The choice to keep things so simple allows viewers to connect with the core themes of the track - we all have our ups and downs, and Christmas can be an incredibly lonely and isolated time for many.&nbsp;Swapping out festive decorations for a muted earthy colour palette, the lighting and design lend a wistful and emotional vibe to the video, whilst Mabel's downcast performance bolsters the entire concept.&nbsp;This certainly is not the most joyful songs of the period, but the message it gets across is important.&nbsp;Especially&nbsp;with the amount of people who will be celebrating on their own this year or&nbsp;are homeless and have nowhere to go.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Avelino explores the idea of influence&nbsp;in Nadira Amrani's video for Higher Power.&nbsp;Across a multitude of abstract vignettes, Amrani juxtaposes traditional ideas of power in society - the clothes, cars, money - with the many pitfalls. That includes when followers turn on you as a leader, and when your influence becomes unmanageable.&nbsp;Very much open to interpretation, the visuals play off religious and societal iconography with a fresh selection of high concept performance setups.&nbsp;
