What if 'Man’s Best Friend'&nbsp;was actually a man? That's the intriguing premise&nbsp;in Bradley &amp; Pablo's video for pop sensation Mimi Webb.&nbsp;The video for Love Language combines they dynamic duo's signature high-energy visuals and inventive storytelling, crafting a surreal world where men replace dogs in a high-stakes canine competition.Set in 1999, it unfolds in the world of a dog show - reimagined as a “cute boy championship.” Mimi, an expert trainer, showcases her companion’s talents in a series of competitions, where he crawls on all fours, jumps, catches, and impresses the crowd. It’s like Crufts but for Good Boys.As Mimi’s powerhouse vocals and charisma take centre stage, the other competitors quickly abandon their own trainers to join her in a bid for victory.

Mimi Webb 'Love Language' by Bradley & Pablo

Mimi-Webb-'Love-Language'-by-Bradley-&-Pablo

C Prinz sets up a performance video in a single white room, then toys with viewers' perceptions, in her video for LA indie band The Marias.&nbsp;&nbsp;Within this space, the band's lead singer Maria Zardoya moves from what appears like a conventional live performance of the track Back To Me into a journey through the room's unorthodox layout and dimensions - including the optical effect of the window, or gap, revealing the outside world beyond the room.C Prinz's talent is to blend storytelling with raw movement, in this case to echo the song's&nbsp;themes of love and loss."Maria is like a timeless vessel," she says. "Her presence is something you can't quite put simple words to... magnetic and present like an otherworldly essence. And when I heard Back To Me it plunged me into that beautiful liminal space. Caught between this realm and some other."The music video we created together is a visualisation of this feeling state - a gracefully tortuous one."[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Marías 'Back To Me' by C Prinz

The Marías - Back To Me

Harry Tomlin puts a breezy twist on the story of Adam &amp; Eve in his latest for singer Kat Penkin, turning it into a female revenge fantasy. How do you like those apples? &nbsp;The video for Ugh begins in a crowded waiting room, where a young man&nbsp;ditches his girlfriend to chat up&nbsp;the&nbsp;receptionist - played by Kat. She offers him an apple - and with one bite he's transported to Eden-like countryside. Kat is about to teach him a lesson.What follows is an entertaining comedy, where Kat expresses her disgust by terrorising the chat-up guy in outlandish scenarios&nbsp;- usually involving apples - plus wonderfully stylised performance set-ups which accentuate Kat Penkin's cheeky and irreverent&nbsp;personality.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]“I wanted the opening scene to subvert the style of the piece," says Tomlin.&nbsp;"Cinematic, desaturated and slow, luring the viewer into a world that we would soon flip on its head. Then we gave ourselves the licence to go all out with the rest. Bright, saturated, poppy, infectiously fun.“Unlike some of my other work, I wanted this to feel very graphic and editorial, taking inspiration from photography and magazine covers to bring an iconic style as Kat enters a new era in her career with her new EP!”[imgtoken data:2]“I love working with Kat, we have a great shorthand and a real mutual trust in each other which always allows for a fun process and fantastic end result."We started discussing the Garden of Eden and how exciting it could be to explore this cheeky, subversive world, that felt slightly perverse in how ‘Adam’ was being tortured, but ultimately sympathising and rooting for Kat.”

Candice Lo directs an impassioned performance by Griff, taking its inspirational cue from the songtitle. And things are going to get messy.The video for Last Night's Mascara begins with Griff in white, in an all-white space. But the first smudge of black indicates what is coming, as Lo orchestrates the addition of streaks of 'last night's mascara' through the pop singer's choreographed performance.&nbsp;She mars the white space and her own clothing with handprints and stains, as the&nbsp;ever-flowing mascara acts as a cathartic release, leading to an artistic portrayal of grief. A captivating concept anchored by the artist's commitment to the performance, and Lo's inspired direction.[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

BRTHR return with a delirious dream of a video for JENNIE and Dua Lipa's internet-busting team-up on Handlebars.The directing duo (Kyle Wightman and Alex Lee) have, rather incredibly, been making music videos for over a decade in their distinctive and highly influential&nbsp;style. And once again they deliver a breathtaking&nbsp;bombardment&nbsp;of imagery, fused by propulsive editing and virtuoso VFX. But rarely, if ever, has their&nbsp;maximalism been so lazer-focussed on producing sheer, shiny&nbsp;gorgeousness on-screen.The ultimate style and look is so very BRTHR, but they have been ably assisted by individuals who have been involved in other hugely impactful pop videos of recent times. DoP Ben Carey and colourist Myles Bevan play their part here too, in achieving the fusion of old and modern Hollywood-style glamour&nbsp;at the heart of the Handlebars&nbsp;video.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2] &nbsp;

Holly Hunter self-directs the festive and funny&nbsp;promo for Ho Ho Ho (The Christmas Number One).&nbsp;In the video, we see Holly portray a village gal going for a rather alternative attempt at Christmas number one, with a rambunctious and risqué rap performance to a sparse Nativity play audience.Deadpan performance&nbsp;clashes with bright red latex costumes and a full backdrop display, bringing the holiday vibes in a playful and frankly rather saucy way.&nbsp;It's a competitive world out there at this time of year, and even if it doesn't quite topple Last Christmas, it's unlikely you'll see a more memorable Christmas debut this year...&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

<h3>The colourist, who recently joined Studio RM, on the influence of cult TV show Utopia, her amazing&nbsp;trip to Japan this year&nbsp;and creating her own film emulation box of tricks in the grading suite.</h3>In just five years, Jules (aka Juliette) Wileman has built a substantial reputation as one of the top young colourists working in London. And she has now made a big move across town to a new home, from Absolute Post to the London base of <a href="https://studio-rm.com/" target="_blank">Studio RM</a>.At Absolute, under the mentorship of award-winning colourist Matt Turner,&nbsp;she&nbsp;quickly progressed from assistant to grading her own&nbsp;jobs, accruing&nbsp;commercial projects for Samsung, Burberry, Expedia, Aston Martin, TikTok, Women’s Aid, Adidas&nbsp;and more. In the process, she&nbsp;developed creative&nbsp;relationships with numerous directors and DoPs, including&nbsp;Fan and Fon, Hot Icarus, Stephen Pipe, Benedict Spence and Rosie May Bird Smith. And she has been consistently busy with music videos too, grading numerous projects for the likes of Anne-Marie x Aitch,&nbsp;Talia Mar, Manga Saint Hilare and Harvey Causon.Wileman has now joined Studio RM, based in the company's&nbsp;London studio, and part of Studio RM’s global roster of award-winning colourists, joining Myles Bevan and Jamie Noble. On her arrival at the company, Camilla Bateman, Studio RM's global MD, described her as a rare talent.“Jules brings an artistic sensibility to her advertising and promo work that perfectly aligns with Studio RM," commented Bateman.&nbsp;"As our global presence continues to grow, her expertise is invaluable in expanding our fashion, luxury, and music offerings into new advertising categories, all while maintaining the beautiful aesthetic we’re known for.”A&nbsp;good time, therefore, to catch up with Jules Wileman and find out how momentous a year she has been having, in our latest Snapshot Q&amp;A.&nbsp;Name: Jules WilemanBirthday: 6th OctoberWhere did you grow up? North LondonPlace of further education and course (if any)? Bournemouth University, studying TV ProductionWhere do you live now? Walthamstow. So really not far from where I grew up!Name a film or video or other creative work that had a huge influence on&nbsp;your career choice?Utopia, the Channel 4 series, was a huge inspiration to me – I just loved everything about the visuals. Otherwise, it’s hard to single out one piece, as there are tonnes of creative works that have influenced me in some way or another..![imgtoken data:1]What were the important first projects for you, in terms of a learning&nbsp;experience and getting noticed?<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqcUDZvOA9M" target="_blank">World’s Strongest Women for Women' Aid</a>, directed by Fern Berresford, was a&nbsp;big turning point for me. It was one of the bigger projects from the start of my&nbsp;career that helped me get my name out there.However, I think all of the first projects I did were important! Each one was a&nbsp;different learning experience. For example, A.G Cook - Beautiful Superstar,&nbsp;directed by Prosper Unger-Hamilton, was my first music video grade, and my first remote session! Ironically, some of the references were from&nbsp;Utopia&nbsp;so it felt a bit like&nbsp;fate...[vidtoken data:0]Best film you’ve seen this year? <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27367464/" target="_blank">Kneecap</a> – it's kind of like an Irish Snatch.&nbsp;But then, I’m not sure that’s a fair way to describe it, as it’s pretty unique. It’s one of the few films this year I’ve left the cinema just grinning, without any comments; I've been told I can be a bit of a harsh critic, so this is quite rare!Favourite song/album/music artist this year? I’ve been listening to The Paul Simon Songbook a lot this year, with some Billy Joel mixed in too. My music taste is a bit all over the place though; I’ve also been loving Alligator Bites Never Heal by Doechii, and a fair bit of Rex Orange County.<blockquote>Music videos are my favourite things to work on - but it’s often beg/borrow/steal to get anything done.</blockquote>Favourite music video/videos you’ve seen this year?<a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2024/10/04/fka-twigs-eusexua-jordan-hemingway/88435" target="_blank">FKA twigs – Eusexua</a> by Jordan Hemingway is amazing; I love how surreal it is, and of course FKA is stunning. Whilst it’s not my normal music taste, I really enjoyed <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2024/09/03/sabrina-carpenter-taste-dave-meyers/87988" target="_blank">Sabrina Carpenter's Taste</a>, directed by Dave Meyers. All the classic horror references were fab, and I particularly loved the reference to Death Becomes Her.&nbsp;And Rex Orange County - Finally directed by Nicholas Walker is beautiful, and pretty much one-shot which is so impressive![vidtoken data:1]Technically this came out last year, but <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2023/01/16/antslive-number-one-candidate-tom-emmerson/79967" target="_blank">AntsLive's Number One Candidate</a> directed by Tom Emmerson is one that I still think about from time to time. It’s just so cool!What has been (or usually is) your favourite night out this year? I’ve ended up in <a href="https://www.slimjimsliquorstore.com/" target="_blank">Slim Jim’s</a> quite a few times; not sure I’d call this a favourite though!In terms of the music video-related jobs of the past year or so, what were the most rewarding creatively, and why?Tove Lo – Let Me Go Oh Oh (directed by Fa and Fon) and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhAaIvmZxZw" target="_blank">Desire</a> (directed by David Wilson). These were two of four promos going out, and it was an interesting challenge to simultaneously grade each to have its own visual identity whilst also making all four feel like they were in the same world. David was jumping between my suite and Matt Turner’s (who graded the other two) which was quite amusing![vidtoken data:2]Glass Animals' The Extremely Existentially Late Show,&nbsp;directed by Jim Wilmot. This was a trio of VEVO live performances, that were also cut together in one long mega-mix, also featuring the artist’s dog! We went with a film emulation look in the end, and I got to use a preset I’d made myself. Luckily it worked, and we were both really happy with the final look. It was also a great challenge to copy the look of the CRT monitors in Show Pony specifically![vidtoken data:3]What are your favourite other (non-mv) projects of the past year or so?The short film Rise, directed by SHIRZAN [about the women's protests in Iran], is one of the projects I’m most proud of, and pleased to have been involved with. It ended up an Immortal Award too, which was a nice bonus![vidtoken data:4]Life Uncensored&nbsp;for Lionsgate+, directed by Diego Nuñez Irigoyen, was fun - we played around with varying degrees of film emulation which I always enjoy doing. This was another job where I used my ‘magic emulation box’, and it was shortlisted for the Craft: Colour Grading at the Berlin Commercial 2024 Awards which was a great ego boost for me.There are a few projects in the works that have been wicked to grade this year, and I can’t wait for them to be out in the world.What’s the most surprising thing that’s happened this year?&nbsp;I did a solo trip to Japan, which is the first time I’ve ever travelled alone – it was unbelievable, and somewhere I’d love to visit again. It was also quite liberating to be able to do exactly what I wanted, when I wanted. Plus, I was able to spend some time sorting my brain out and came back far calmer and more refreshed![vidtoken data:5]<blockquote>This was another job where I used my magic emulation box.</blockquote>Your top suggestion to change and improve how the music video industry works? It’s difficult to have a proper opinion on this, as I’m only in post, so I don’t really know the nuances of production. However, I do think it would be nice if there was a bit more time and budget put aside for post!Music videos are my favourite things to work on, but a lot of the time it’s beg/borrow/steal to get anything done. On the other hand, it is quite amazing to see what can be achieved on shoestring budgets, and it’s always quite satisfying to have helped in some way.What are you looking forward to for the rest of the year? In terms of work, I’m excited to carry on getting stuck in at Studio RM; I’ve only been here a short while, and I’m loving it! Otherwise, I have lots of plans with family and friends to enjoy. Most importantly, seeing the family dogs as much as possible – they always improve my day!• Jules Wileman is now at Studio RM; watch her showreel&nbsp;<a href="https://studio-rm.com/services/colour-grading/jules-wileman" target="_blank">here</a>.

Colin Solal Cardo shoots this singularly dynamic&nbsp;video for Paris-based queer pop artist JENYS - shot entirely on an iPhone.&nbsp;&nbsp;The video for Like A Virgin crafts a compelling dynamic&nbsp;between JENYS and the&nbsp;camera in perpetual motion, allowing them to move together as partners as the performance intensifies.&nbsp;Using a motion control arm, the cinematography is explosive and hypnotic throughout, matching the impressive dance performance.&nbsp; Solal Cardo envisioned the video as “an intense performance brimming with rage, humour, and catharsis,” focusing on capturing Jenys, a young artist in her prime. Known for her hands-on approach to her art, writing, singing, producing&nbsp;and directing, the challenge was to showcase her skills as a performer.It's a sizzling achievement, ramping up in energy from start to end, with a frantic and effortlessly cool final result.&nbsp;&nbsp;
