Tim Mattia directs the&nbsp;emotionally-charged promo for Bishop Briggs' High Water.&nbsp;The one-shot video is a stripped-back, intimate display of emotion, dedicated to Briggs' sister Kate, who died of cancer in 2021.&nbsp;Shot in black and white by Mattia's regular collaborator Justyn Moro, with the artist isolated against a desolate backdrop, the video is an absorbing and heartbreaking experience to watch, and feels like a true baring of the soul.&nbsp;The trust between the artist and director - who have previously worked together on videos for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2019/08/01/bishop-briggs-champion-tattooed-my-heart-tim-mattia/60070">Champion&nbsp; and&nbsp;Tattooed On My Heart</a> - is very apparent, and the unflinching performance is both a dedication to Kate's memory and a brave&nbsp;catharsis.A truly stunning collaboration between Briggs and Mattia, which will go down as one of the very best&nbsp;of its kind.&nbsp;

Tim Mattia directs an introspective promo for&nbsp;Australian singer-songwriter Dean Lewis.&nbsp;The slick promo is darkly cinematic, formed of a series of vignettes which explore self-reflection and the artist's sense of self&nbsp;- and partly with him in an angry&nbsp;face-off with his own alter-ego.&nbsp;&nbsp;Lewis's charismatic performance anchors the concept, whilst the cinematography strikes a perfect balance between glossy and gritty. The overall aesthetic feels contemporary and timeless, a trademark of Mattia's cinematic style.&nbsp;

Joe Connor and Tim Mattia collaborate over the pond, in the video&nbsp;for&nbsp;Rag 'n' Bone Man &amp; P!nk's collab on Anywhere Away From Here.Working together to create a seamless production, the UK section of the video was shot in&nbsp;The Duke Of York’s Theatre in the West End, where nature has overtaken every inch of the space, with plants growing from the stalls and wild animals stalking the stage.&nbsp;For the US section, seasoned industry vets P!nk and Mattia create&nbsp;magic in an understated yet affecting way, bringing a remarkable dynamism and presence to the project.&nbsp;It's a great collaboration, anchored by top-notch performances and picture perfect cinematography, from Patrick Meller in London, and Justin Moro in the US. And&nbsp;Joe Connor explains that the origins of his idea for the video came a long time ago.&nbsp;"I wrote in a journal once that I wanted to plant a real cornfield in a theatre when I was training at Royal Central School London," he reveals. "And we managed to do it. It's mad how things manifest years later."&nbsp;

Tim Mattia continues his collaboration with LANY, with the intimate promo for Nobody Else.&nbsp;Shot in one take with a striking black and white aesthetic, the camera slowly wraps around lead singer Paul Klein, revealing the setup is&nbsp;isolated out in the desert, with stunning backdrops extending as far as the eye can see.&nbsp;It's a beautifully introspective concept, cutting back any extraneous ideas to focus purely on performance and emotion... and it's bloody brilliant.&nbsp;

Tim Mattia explores isolation in his latest video for Sasha Sloan.&nbsp;Like his previous video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2020/08/24/sasha-sloan-lie-tim-mattia/66182" target="_blank">Lie</a>, this one for Is It Just Me? taps into the sense of dislocation that pervades modern life - but this time Sasha Sloan is the sole occupant of what appears to be a research installation in a hostile environment.&nbsp;We see her going about her daily chores on the base, reflecting&nbsp;on her current situation, and obsessing over a spacesuit that hangs on her wall. She grows plants, works out and sleeps in a series of interconnected rooms, contained in an environment that is functional but uninspired.&nbsp;As she gains the courage to suit up and step outside, we find that Sloan isn't on another world, but on Earth. The sun still shines, even though you cannot breathe the air...It's impossible not to draw lines between our current situation and the narrative in this video, and it's a unique and refreshing perspective of the times we live in. Tim Mattia's frequent collaborator and DoP&nbsp;Justyn Moro captures a sense of unease through vivid red lighting and heavy contrast, whilst the stillness of the camera suggests that things might not be quite as far gone as we think.&nbsp;&nbsp;

A woman longs for connection through various virtual personas, in Tim Mattia's absorbing video for Sasha Sloan.&nbsp;In Lie, Sloan&nbsp;is rejected, unable to get a word or glance out of her real partner. So she heads online to different online chatrooms, and&nbsp;hides her true identity in favour of a custom-built character for different scenarios: a high school student one second, a gay man the next, whatever suits the conversation she is having. Furthermore, the people who she is connecting with are similarly not what they seem.&nbsp;Surprisingly poignant and emotionally affecting, the themes of isolation and the lack of purpose in our lives unfold beautifully, showing the characters on either side of the connection working out their own personal issues, finding solace in a make believe world.&nbsp;Tim Mattia's frequent collaborator DoP&nbsp;Justyn Moro uses the limited space available in each room to great effect, using practical lights to break up the darkness and shadow, whilst keeping a brooding and enigmatic atmosphere.&nbsp;

Tim Mattia continues his collaboration with Los Angeles based group LANY, with the video for You!&nbsp;Shot during sunset in the middle of the desert, the visual is pure performance with unabashed energy to boot.&nbsp;Beautifully shot by Justyn Moro, the minimalist props and art direction help keep the focus on the music and performance, whilst the forward-thinking fashion adds an edge that separates it from similar videos in the genre.&nbsp;

Tim Mattia directs a love letter to family and friends, in his latest video for LANY.&nbsp;If This Is The Last Time reflects on our relationships with our closest loved ones, the monochromatic visual is an introspective and cinematic journey, featuring real members of the band's family.&nbsp;Interwoven with striking performance shots, the concept runs parallel to the track's lyrics, and builds upon the narrative themes promised in upcoming album Mama's Boy.&nbsp;This is Mattia's second visual this year for LANY, following the brilliant <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2020/05/20/lany-good-guys-tim-mattia/64886#:~:text=Tim%20Mattia%20directs%20a%20pared,and%20a%20moment%20for%20introspection.">Good Guys</a>, released&nbsp;in May.&nbsp;

Tim Mattia directs a pared-back performance video for LANY, shot just before lockdown.&nbsp;Paying tribute to vintage Americana and American life, the concept follows vocalist&nbsp;Paul Jason Klein as he traverses breathtaking landscapes, alone with his thoughts and a moment for introspection.&nbsp;DoP&nbsp;Justin Moro contrasts wide shots of the scenery with intimate, emotional close-ups, utilising silhouettes to cut Klein from the hot, arid backdrop. Though the concept is 100% performance-based, not once does it get slow or dull, which is largely due to the unique vignettes and masterful cinematography.&nbsp;

Two teen runaways escape their troubled childhood in Tim Mattia's video for Sam Hunt's Young Once.&nbsp;Traversing derelict backroads and expansive stretches of countryside, the pair fight to survive each day whilst making the most of their newfound freedom.&nbsp;DoP Justyn Moro utilises natural daylight and handheld camerawork to give the project an authentic feel. Getting up close in the action, the camera matches the frenetic, spontaneous movements of the couple, to give a sense of both adventure and fear of the unknown.&nbsp;A blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo from Sam Hunt in the café scene is an unintrusive addition, with the focus of the story staying on the teens and the promise of a new life.&nbsp;

Rock's king of darkness proves he can pivot and do something more akin to The Man In Black in Tim Mattia's video for God's Gonna Cut You Down.&nbsp;Following on from Manson's announcement earlier this year that he was to make an album more "Southern" in tone and heavily autobiographical in nature, this is a first look at the new material.&nbsp;Shot in monochrome, and featuring a typically offbeat and weird performance from Manson, the video contains various references to religious iconography, blurring the line between reality and the spiritual world. Tim Mattia's exceptional craft helps Manson transition to a place far outside of his usual comfort zone, by keeping strands of his iconic style in with the new elements.&nbsp;Another cracking cover version from Manson, who doesn't seem to be abandoning his shapeshifting ways anytime soon. And that's a very good thing indeed.&nbsp;

Bishop Briggs is a shaved-head warrior in a cinematic revenge story over two videos&nbsp;by Tim Mattia.The first video for Champion&nbsp;introduces Briggs in the middle of the desert, performing as her body rattles with anger. Driving up to a bar, she takes an armoured case from the trunk, and charges towards the venue. Immediately met by a couple of thugs, Bishop takes them out with the case, hardly batting an eyelid. She's on a mission, and she's royally pissed off.&nbsp;We are shown glimpses of a wedding, where Briggs is left at the aisle, in a striking homage to Kill Bill. The narrative hints at a variety of wrongdoing, but more importantly, we get to see the vengeful aftermath, culminating in a showdown between Briggs and her ex-beau in the bar.The narrative of&nbsp;Tattooed On My Heart&nbsp;delves further into the backstory, and replaces the frenetic fight scenes with emotional vignettes. We see Briggs and her fiancé&nbsp;in love, getting matching tattoos, and eventually ready to marry in a remote church. We are also shown Briggs returning to the church, with the mystery item she retrieved in the first video...Both&nbsp;beautifully shot by Justyn Moro, making great use of the abundant natural light and dusty colour palettes of the location, TIm Mattia has cemented his position as one of the pre-eminent music video directors working today with this impressive double-video project that complement each other impressively.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[vidtoken data:0]&nbsp;&nbsp;

And that makes for a genuinely dramatic finale.&nbsp;

Didn&#39;t seem to do her any harm - and her friend is still around to share the memories too.

Norwegian songstress Aurora gets in touch with her feral side in the Tim Mattia-directed video for Animal.&nbsp;Aurora starts by both physically and metaphorically breaking free from her cage, running through the streets, erupting into a passionate performance which climaxes with her entering&nbsp;a vibrant club, and then communing with a mass of writhing party animals.Mattia was very complimentary of Aurora, saying &ldquo;it was great to be invited to go inside Aurora&rsquo;s head for a little bit of time while we worked on this project together. It was a hugely collaborative experience, and I think that can be seen on screen, as our ideas and aesthetics melded together to create the video.&rdquo;

Tim Mattia revisits his rock performance roots with this video for Sam Fender that packs a real punch.&nbsp;The performance of Fender and his band, captured in Mattia&#39;s trademark noirish black and white, and bursts of strobe light, is shot through with a succession of&nbsp;individuals who square up to the singer, all exhibiting serious levels of old-fashioned British aggression.As That Sound comes to its peak, a brilliantly fierce, kinetic edit by Vid Price&nbsp;goes into overdrive. it&#39;s a searingly powerful climax, where the individuals become a blur, and their aggression overpowered by the music.

And well played for not going down an 80s sci-fi route for a song called Stranger Things.

Tim Mattia&#39;s clip for Hurts&#39; Beautiful Ones&nbsp;is a powerful, heartbreaking&nbsp;story played in reverse.Mattia&#39;s clip starts out with a car crash that seems accidental at first - with a bloodied Theo Hutchcraft, Hurts&#39; lead singer, behind the wheel. But before long comes&nbsp;a gut punch, as the viewer starts to put the pieces together. Each step backwards in time&nbsp;reveals more action, context, and character motivation - and becomes so resonant for real issues that the LGBTQ continue to face.Hutchcraft&nbsp;gives a riveting performance as the story&#39;s central&nbsp;character, and he also wrote the story. &quot;The song is a celebration of individuality, [and] I had the whole visual and story of the video mapped out whilst we were making the song,&quot; he has revealed.&nbsp;&quot;I wanted the message to be as potent and powerful as possible. In order to emphasise how vital our personal liberty is, I felt it was important to show the grim reality so many people face just trying to be themselves.&nbsp;It&#39;s that daily struggle which makes them the strongest of us all.&quot;The video&#39;s end is a bittersweet party sequence that looks amazing, but is tarred with an overwhelming sadness. A powerful statement indeed.
