For Conor Maynard's Animal – the fourth single from his Contrast album – Tim Mattia takes the young vocalist into a more intense territory.

Bolstered by an enigmatic performance from rapper Wiley, Tim gets dark and moody, placing the performers in dark spaces and tunnels bathed in flickering lights highlighting the brittle soundtrack...

Sometimes, even in the summer you need to get a glimpse of some Scrooge-like misanthrope changing his ways in an endearing way. Fortunately, here's Chris Bates' lighthearted promo for Klumzy Tung, in which a cantankerous elderly man begins to realise that maybe not all young people are out to get him.
The video was shot over three days in Hackney, Ealing and Brentford in London and features some impressive break-dancing and skateboarding, alongside it's well presented narrative and interesting ending.

The video was nominated for the Soho Shorts Festival 2012, alongside a plethora of better-known artists, including Kaiser Chiefs, Plan B, Benga, Ed Sheeran and SBTRKT (and a few other less-well known ones too).

A very impressive debut video for Gem Club's I Heard The Party by Joshua Stocker, who reinterprets a classic sci-fi alien abduction scene as a mystical, quasi-religious event for the melodic but funereally-paced track. 
Shot in Wendover Woods, Joshua made the video as part of his FMP (final major project) at Chelsea College of Art before his graduation. But this isn't your average student film, with superbly controlled direction, lovely photography and a stunning levitation sequence as its centrepiece. "I wanted to take this well-known and familiar concept, and take away all the things you relate to a Hollywood alien abduction - no spaceship, no aliens, just a bright light with a man slowly ascending up," says Joshua. 
"It was also important to me that all the effects we see were created in camera with a minimal amount of post production. For the main ascension shots we had a large mirror held on scaffolding about 6 meters above a trampoline. Dan (the actor) simply then jumped in a specific way to give the effect of his body being pulled up. It was a very cheap way of pulling off an expensive looking shot, and meant we could get a vast amount of takes within a very short period of time." Joshua's full blog of how the video came about, from the inital idea right through to its completion, is <a href="http://joshuastockerfmp.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">here</a>, with more behind the scenes info <a href="http://bit.ly/KCaxMl' target=" _blank="">here</a>.

"I wanted to film on a generic housing estate that could be anywhere in the country, and we ended up shooting in East London," says Caswell. "I created the film with the BalletBoyz - William Trevitt and Michael Nunn - and with only one shooting day available, Billy and Michael worked closely with their dancers to adapt and improvise the choreography into the actual landscape of that estate.
"I asked the BalletBoyz to base their choreography loosely on the idea of vultures circling a dying animal, feeling their excitement and anticipation as they gather to feed, waiting for the moment to strike. I was particularly interested in the distinctive head movements the birds make. I thought they would instil a real sense of visual menace.
"The central figure of the dying man is inconsequential; expendable. The ESTATE just goes about its business."

A juicy video for Ninja artist Slugabed's Sex by Chris Ullens - featuring Slugabed's Turbo Juicer 4000.
The video takes the form of a retro infomercial which demonstrates how the Turbo Juicer turns crushed audio-tapes into the best juice you've ever tasted, via a complicated yet delightful (stop-frame animated) process...
"Martin and Gregg (Slugabed) approached me with £1900, a great track and a very open mind," explains Chris. "With the cool track they had, very upbeat and built with loops, I saw the possibility to go crazy with the animation and do something I've been wanting to make for a while, so my treatment was over the top ambitious. We all loved it and that led me into shooting for seven weeks, including Saturdays, many Sundays and a lot of nights on my own. It was epic, but I'm definitely happy now!"

Keaton Henson has made lovely, devastatingly sad visual accompaniments to his achingly melancholic music before - and that's exactly the case with his video for Small Hands. It just happens that Joseph Mann has picked up the baton from David Wilson to become Keaton's new collaborator, and has created something stunning with his first ever music video: the cruelty of nature (and man) told via a meticulously recreated version of the natural world...
Joseph has handcrafted a forest inhabited by a range of puppet creatures, with the help of master puppeteers Jonny Sabbagh &amp; Will Harper, and Keaton himself. Jonny designed the puppet animals with Keaton - who was working as an illustrator before his music career took off. Then Joseph has brought them to life - before many of them suffer a terrible Keaton Henson-style fate. 
Joseph, who graduated from the Glasgow School of Art, has worked on several projects with David Wilson, including sequences of the Skream video for Listenin To The Records On My Wall a couple of years ago. Now directing in his own right, he recently completed an eight month project for The International Exchange. And now this outstanding debut video: it's beautiful - and heartbreaking. After all, it is Keaton Henson. 
"As soon as I heard the track I was sold on the idea of making the video," says Joseph. "And working with Keaton was very collaborative from the word go. We bounced a few things around and agreed on creating something set in the woods. He did a few drawings and we set off on our way into the forest. From there I came up with the idea to 'make, then break' three animal couples relationships in half. It felt right for the song and I have all ways loved owls and underground burrows so it felt good.
"I had just over two weeks to design and build six sets - cobbled together from a mixture of whatever I could get my hands on - with a lovely team of people. Jonny &amp; Will had the same amount of time to build all the puppets. They are two of the most talented people I have ever met - in fact they blow my mind. 
"We shot for three days breathing in way too much fake smoke. We had a great time making a huge amount of mess whilst Jonny and Will had all sorts of things falling into their laps under the set: water, baby oil and plenty of soil. They didn't complain once. Making this video was seriously good fun. I hope it shows."

A young man sits alone in his flat, he appears trapped, contained, waiting for something until there is a knock at the door...
Like his acclaimed TV promo for <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/2011/05/23/luther-trailer-by-caswell-coggins/" target="_blank">Luther</a> last year, Caswell Coggins' new film Knock At The Door is rich in explosive movement. 
This is a short dance film featuring dancer and co-choreographer Anthony Missen, from Manchester-based dance company, Company Chameleon - with music by Mean Red - created as part of the C4 Random Acts series. But it's just as much about the atmospheric direction and stunning camerawork (by Deane Thrussell) as the choreography. 
The film is one of a series of three dance based films, the second and third shoot in March and will feature dancers from the dance company,The Ballet Boyz.

Tomas Mankovsky's video for Mint Julep's Why Don't We has bird people meetingup in the forest and trying to fly - and with the help of a 'human bullet time rig' they are temporarily successful. 
"We had fifteen people in a circle holding 30 disposable cameras trying to trigger them simultaneously," Tomas explains. The difficulty of achieving any kind of result is suggested by a 'behind the scenes' clip <a href="http://www.mankovsky.com/mintjulep/behindclip.mov" target="_blank">here</a>. But the end result is atmospheric and a little bit magical. They really do fly...

New Rokkit signing Naor Aloni delivers his impressive promo for Baby Monster's The Fear Of Charlie Sunrise, shot on a budget of £2.5k "and a lot of hard work". 

"For the Baby Monster video, the aim was to create a surreal journey and encourage an alternative perspective" explains Aloni. 
"The moments of intimacy against the backdrop of reality were important for gaining insight into the girl's strong imagination. 
"Casting was very important to me from the beginning, and Tilly Vercoutre was a great find. She's really open-minded and we were able to work off each other in really inspiring way. 
"We filmed at the Shepherd's Bush Pavillion and brought in a lot of lights to highlight the beauty and decay of the space"

Ollie Murray's promo for The Horrors' new single is a seriously cool, swirling, colour-bursting gem playing with perception and shadows to great psychedelic effect - enhancing the detached mood of the anthemic Still Life. 
Producer Sam Kennedy: "The Horrors wanted something bizarre and thought-provoking that needed to be achievable on an extremely minimal budget, even for promos! From treatment to delivery the job was turned around in 8 days to meet the appropriate deadlines."

Caswell Coggins has been missing from music videos for a while to concentrate on documentary work, and things like this - the new trailer for the forthcoming second season of BBC cop show Luther, starring Idris Elba.
Idris as Luther un-destroys his office, and returns to a state of relative serenity, all to the strains of the great Nina Simone singing Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood (so its actually quite like a video really...). Sixty seconds that intrigues you that maybe this show could be worthy of one of the stars of The Wire.
