Beabadoobee 'Last Day On Earth' by Arnaud Bresson

beabadoobee - Last Day On Earth (Official Video)

The times when a music video really astonishes are rare nowadays -&nbsp;but this is one of those occasions. Arnaud Bresson's remarkable video for Flatbush Zombies' James Blake-produced Afterlife creates something&nbsp;impossible, but in such a way that it is, for all intents and purposes, the real thing:&nbsp;an X-Ray version of a hardcore hip-hop video.&nbsp;From the first shot, of a gang carrying the coffin of a friend, to the last, everything is seen through the prism of X-Ray photography... or so you will believe. This is a situation of&nbsp;an essentially straightforward idea that lives or dies by dint of the execution - and the execution is completely flawless. So while your mind will tell you that this&nbsp;just cannot be done - X-ray machines are not safe to use on a film set or location - your eye tells you otherwise.[imgtoken data:1]This was the result of a combination of&nbsp;brilliant vision, skill and that luxury rarely afforded music video production - time. The effect of X-ray photography wa achieved through 3D animation and VFX work that took place via Machine Molle in Paris over a period of months - the initial foortage of the band and cast was shot before lockdown began.&nbsp;As Bresson has explained in a press release: “Today, there is no technology that X-ray films a living being without endangering it, so we worked hand in hand with a post-production company to develop a technical device that would allow us to achieve a similar effect. We used multi-camera tracking, recorded the positions and movements of our characters to extract and apply to our 3D compositions. It took four months of work to find the perfect style.”The result is transparent - one of the music videos of the year so far.

Among a number of tortuous episodes,&nbsp;guest vocalists Amine and Slowthai also get to have their fun with the hapless guy.And even at the best of times, you really don't want&nbsp;Slowthai sitting on your chest...

Arnaud Bresson's video for Headie One x Fred again.. takes elements that we see repeatedly in grime and other urban videos - in particular the people - and puts them in another, more abstract&nbsp;environment. And it makes their presence all the powerful as a result.&nbsp;&nbsp;Although its&nbsp;for a video called GANG, the video shakes up that usual definition. The people featured here are from all generations, but their connection to Headie One seems palpable. This is about community - which actually extends way beyond his particular London postcode.&nbsp;There's a real spirit coming&nbsp;through in Arnaud Bresson's impressive video - expertly shot by DoP&nbsp;Paul Guilhaume - and it certainly shows a different side to Headie One.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Headie One x Fred again.. 'GANG' by Arnaud Bresson

Headie One x Fred again.. - GANG

French actor Felix Maritaud plays a man attempting&nbsp;to maintain his self-control in a succession of extraordinary situations, in Nathalie Canguilhem's extravagantly imaginative video for French producer SebastiAn.From a village composed entirely of tiny castles, or churches, populated by hooded monks, and an endless Seuss-like keyboard - played by&nbsp;SebastiAn himself - to a successsion of ever-smaller doorways and a platoon of girl dancers on crucifixes on a beach, Maritaud's epic journey is a series of challenges. Whatever the distraction, temptation, or threat to his physical wellbeing, he is trying to keep an even keel - reflecting the lyrics sung by Bakar on SebastiAn's track Sober.&nbsp;Ultimately Maritaud is surrounded by his challenges and choices - encircled by the monks in a colliseum-like exterior; confronted by numerous doorways within a building.&nbsp;Canguilhem turns&nbsp;these interlinking scenes into a cohesive whole - a surreal dreamscape that feels authentic. In this world, even the more extraordinary settings look defiantly real.[imgtoken data:1]In fact, much of it is real. The village of castles is situated in Turkey, where much of the exteriors for the&nbsp;video were shot. The rest was filmed in Kiev.Like her video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2019/02/15/travis-scott-x-saint-laurent-cant-say-nathalie-canguilhem/57327" target="_blank">Travis Scott's Can't Say</a> earlier this year, this is a collaboration with Saint Laurent, and&nbsp;the subdued tones of blue and grey that predominate throughout the piece are the unmistakeable colours of YSL's classic Rive Gauche perfume brand. In the video, no more obvious branding is required.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The video for Octavian's No Weakness&nbsp;sees him take a psychedelic helicopter ride over Paris, joined by his personal angels and demons.Directed by Sacha Barbin, the performance setups are layered with surreal and offbeat effects, pulling the image apart into neon streaks, grain and pulsating colours.Luminescent drug-taking and hectic cutaways add to the hallucinatory vibe, and though the video is light on narrative, it amps up the style to 11.

Sacha Barbin has directed a superbly dynamic&nbsp;performance video for the brilliant Afropunk&nbsp;band Tshegue, shot on the streets of Paris.Barbin&#39;s camera repetitively tracks and zooms out, as Tshegue&nbsp;lead singer Faty Sy Savanet walks down the street and performs&nbsp;- at first the background changing all the time, then Faty&#39;s wardrobe...The video rarely breaks from the rightward-tracking move, but Barbin continually adds new elements, characters and VFX tricks to reflect the vibrancy of&nbsp;M&#39;Benga Bila - and Paris itself.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<div>&nbsp;</div>

A gang of apparently normal urban youth gather at freezing nightfall to perform supernatural magic tricks, in this edgy clip&nbsp;from an up-and-coming director with a famous name, Arnaud Bresson, for French dance producers RL Grime and Graves.Filmed in the outskirts of Paris in the neighbourhood of&nbsp;La Noue, the cast of magicians is a fusion of actors and&nbsp;local youth.&nbsp;Their raw&nbsp;performances and the stripped-back cinematography by Paul Guilhaume are catalysts&nbsp;to the thrilling, subversive video.

Helmi takes the reins for the latest video for Rosalía, and imagines the sadness at the heart of her song Bagdad, with a new twist on&nbsp;a classic metaphor of heartbreak.As she withdraws to a toilet stall in a club bathroom, in the aftermath of a devastating phone call, Rosalía starts to cry. And she keeps crying, the equivalent of crying a river. The water rises in the stall, and&nbsp;Rosalía&nbsp;is resigned to&nbsp;drowning in her own tears.&nbsp;In the way that has marked out all her videos so far, Helmi mixes passion, grittiness and fantasy to make a wholly seductive piece for this&nbsp;sensational Spanish artist.&nbsp;

French director Arnaud Bresson brings a new eye to London life for the debut single of Ama. It's called Monochrome, but this is far from it.It's a special day for the young singer, who is perparing for a special, unconventional&nbsp;ceremony of love - even, perhaps, her wedding. That brings a very cool and colourful aesthetic to her neighbourhood.

Simon Cahn brings us the gripping story of a young man, heartbroken at the loss of his pet cat and desperate to find a new furry friend. And then he finds the perfect, amazing&nbsp;replacement: a ferret that can sing.In a blur of brilliant comedy storytelling for Boston Bun&#39;s Spread Love (Paddington), we witness our hero&#39;s spectacular rise in popularity, fame and sexual allure. But when the ferret&#39;s wailing of the Spread Love hook becomes a little bit tiresome, it heralds the poor guy&#39;s spectacular fall from grace.And it all ends with the ferret revealing a new talent to his defeated owner. This is a journey alright...&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

As we know, making music videos beats proper working for a living. But it&#39;s also tough &ndash; really tough if no-one informed you the artist, and his entourage of twerking girls, are all 30 feet tall.Alex Courtès&#39;s latest video explores this unlikely scenario and its remarkable consequences in his new video for Sean Paul and Major Lazer. And the director also plays himself&nbsp;- or a long-suffering hangdog version of himself &ndash;&nbsp;with aplomb.&nbsp;He has the air of a man who&#39;s seen it all, suffered much, but has never quite seen this.The video was achieved with a combination of post and practical effects, with Sean and his posse given the VFX treatment at Machine Molle in Paris.It&#39;s rare for a video to work as straightahead commercial pop video, and satirical comedy on the process - and the storyboard shot will make you laugh or cry, and possibly both - but this definitely has its cake and eats it.

William Laboury, winner of a Best Video Newcomer Award&nbsp;with his Bonnie Banane video at last year&#39;s UKMVAs, returns with this absorbing and ingenious video for Agar Agar, addressing the perils of VR in one of the most entertaining ways yet.A girl &ndash; played by Garance Marillier, acclaimed young actress from French movie&nbsp;Raw &ndash;&nbsp;dons the VR glasses which takes her into a digital forest, where she becomes the magnificent dog that she pines for in her bedroom. Then the real world and its VR equivalent run in tandem, as her canine avatar runs through verdant digi-forest while she blunders blindly through her Paris neighbourhood.It&#39;s a cool idea, and Laboury seamlessly ratchets the action up from the humourous to something more thrilling, without losing the dreaminess that matches the song. Finally, as far more feral beasts appear in the VR universe, the barriers between these&nbsp;two parallel worlds begins to break down...&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

Helmi presents a glossy, stylish performance for Kali Uchis that oozes with effortless coolness.The colourful clip which sees Uchis and Jorja Smith perform in a melting array of setups featuring gorgeous colours, great cars and some floral rear-projections (and some wonderful nods to classic French Cinema). To take one single still image from this video and define it is almost impossible - this is a mash-up of distinct visual styles that seem so opposing on paper, but work so perfectly next to one another in this clip.

A sensitive individual&nbsp;(played by Leah James) finds a safe way to confront&nbsp;a bullying tormentor by&nbsp;taking on his avatar in a beat-&#39;em-up&nbsp;arcade game.It&#39;s an&nbsp;absorbing vignette of individual defiance by Mexican directing duo Santiago &amp; Mauricio for French producer Joris Delacroix&#39;s Start The Engine, and it also defies expectations.The hypnotic effect of the heroine&#39;s gameplaying on her fellow arcade inhabitants then extends to all the characters, and finally, it transcends the&nbsp;storyline itself. Everything simply succumbs&nbsp;to the irresistable ignition-firing groove&nbsp;of the track. Damn good video.
