A simple greeting turns into a full-on choreographed dance, in Louis Bhose's splendid promo for The Big Moon.&nbsp;Celebrating the comeback of the alternative indie group, we follow vocalist Juliette Jackson as she wakes up in the middle of a field, eventually regrouping with her fellow band members and running through an increasingly complex routine.It's a refreshingly simple yet punchy concept&nbsp;which feels fresh and timeless, whilst carrying a certain emotional weight to it, as the girls celebrate the start of their next chapter together.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;The use of a black studio environment to represent a fantasy version of the real world heightens the stylish aesthetic, whilst the real emotion drawn out of each member&nbsp;acts as an anchor to the whole project.&nbsp;"I've always been interested in bands returning from the wilderness - updating their Insta after eighteen months away with shadowy images and emojis," says Louis Bhose.&nbsp;"I thought it would be fun to have a band bump into each other, having not seen one another for ages, and start with this little handshake that then gets increasingly elaborate and emotional."That extends from a little fist bump into a big choreographed piece..."&nbsp;&nbsp;

CANADA's Lope Serrano's second video for Dua Lipa takes the colour-coded song-and-dance production of Physical in another sexy, surreal, and Western-themed direction. With the Director's Cut now released, Serrano's full vision is revealed.Cowboy and cowgirl clowns join Dua in a Victorian hall - the Grosvenor House Hotel in London - and ride invisible horses, wrestle gainfully with a giant floating egg, practice their lines - and of course line-dance.[imgtoken data:1]Of course its Dua Lipa who presides over all, memorably from the seat of a mechanical bull, and also donning the clown make-up -&nbsp;more assured and comfortable than ever as a bone fide music video icon.Like it's star, the whole video is stunning to look at - and blissfully enjoyable from start to finish.&nbsp;A gorgeously glamourous, fabulously&nbsp;frivolous fever dream.[imgtoken data:2][imgtoken data:3]&nbsp;

Zhang + Knight direct an ethereal promo for London Grammar's Lose Your Head.&nbsp;In the studio-set video,&nbsp;we see vocalist&nbsp;Hannah Reid on a sinking ship, as she hears the siren song of the&nbsp;sea - created from a giant piece of silk-like fabric -&nbsp;beneath her. She leaves her comfort zone behind,&nbsp;walking among the waves and eventually sinking into their embrace.The pastel-washed colour scheme&nbsp;and minimalist design - reprised from the directing duo's acclaimed videos for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2019/10/29/eden-projector-zhang-knight/61573" target="_blank">Eden</a> and <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2020/08/25/meryem-aboulouafa-deeply-zhang-knight/66201" target="_blank">Meryem Aboulouafa</a> - are anchored by a mesmerising&nbsp;performance from Reid, who thrives in the soft surreality&nbsp;of the concept.&nbsp;

Oscar Hudson is back, directing&nbsp;a&nbsp;fever dream wrapped in a music video for Slowthai.&nbsp;The concept for Feel Away opens&nbsp;rather innocently... Slowthai - real name Tyron Frampton - is with his girlfriend (played by Guindilla Ontanaya) at a maternity ward, shot through her first person perspective.Reality soon takes&nbsp;a distorted plunge into more surreal territory, as the perspective switches&nbsp;and it's Frampton who now has a baby growing inside of him. Cascading into multiple nightmare scenarios, his love interest falls in love with a doctor, his limbs turn into cake and the baby lipsyncs the lyrics via&nbsp;the ultrasound screen.&nbsp;Truly weird and wonderful, the video takes a sharp turn into the uncanny valley and doesn't let up until the final, haunting frame. The use of first person perspective drops the viewer right into the middle of this world, creating an erratic and claustrophobic environment with no way out.&nbsp;

Basak Erol pulls out all the stops for Nothing But Thieves' Real Love Song, creating an epic fantasy around the heartache and turmoil that surrounds love and sex in the modern world.The live action story of a love triangle is given a dreamlike hue&nbsp;in lurid neon, intercut with the band's equally dreamlike studio performance. Then the imaginations and frustrations of the protagonists are given free rein as they become animated versions of themselves in an&nbsp;alternate dimension.Erol utlised her own skills as a 3D animator, and also collaborated on the 2D animation with hugely talented illustrator and animator Raman Djafari. The end result is a&nbsp;breathless whirlwind to match the band's latest emotional piledriver.&nbsp;

Rapper Keynes Woods tussles with his alter-ego, and the strange goings-on in a deserted factory, in Luke Tierney's impressive video for Tim Burt, from his EP Kongo Kane.With Keynes Woods running through the corridors of this abandoned building, he takes a breather, and begins performing, before we notice a second, bare-chested&nbsp;Keynes - a more playful, manic version. The work becomes a series of stylish set-pieces in a weird game of cat and mouse, showcasing the rapper's assured presence in both his guises. And Tierney increasingly employs a simple yet highly effective visual device, where the original Keynes's movement&nbsp;trips the lighting of a room between red and blue.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With fabulous cinematography by Joel Honeywell,&nbsp;the use of composition and colour make this a properly cinematic experience, steeped in the atmosphere of horror, but confidently veering into comedy and the surreal. A hell of a ride.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Music Videos In Lockdown | EP 5: The Future of Our Industry

A group of soldiers are trapped in a harrowing version of Groundhog Day in Luke Tierney's creative video for Black Square's Coral Blues.&nbsp;The visual opens with several injured soldiers&nbsp;on their knees, wounded and exhausted. A well-dressed woman adorns one of the men with a necklace, but when she tries to do the same to the leader of the group, he lashes out in&nbsp;a violent rage. This scene repeats with different reactions, but one thing's for sure - it isn't going to stop anytime soon.&nbsp;Balancing trippy steadicam shots and a clever use of VFX, Tierney creates an authentic and believable world which is as haunting as it is aesthetically beautiful. The church location adds an onimous and cinematic sensibility, the delapidated rooms and scattered papers mirroring the theme of time going by uncontrollably.&nbsp;

An intense dance takes place under&nbsp;stormy skies in&nbsp;Marcus Söderlund's video for Mura Masa's Teenage Headache Dreams.&nbsp;Bleak and moody, the desolate location sets a sorrowful scene as the two dancers (Becky Namgauds and Ethan Jacobs) intermittently wrestle and grapple&nbsp;whilst trying to resolve their emotional pain. The video marks the return to music videos of choreographer Holly Blakey
