Toby L rings in a bold new era of Foals with the textural promo for Life Is Yours.&nbsp;In a spacious studio setting, the band play in a circular formation, whilst red and blue lighting pulsates in various patterns.&nbsp;The lively performance is captured through fluid camera movements and ambitious perspectives, which amplifies the unique aesthetic.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]"The music lends itself to sudden tonal shifts and striking colours," says Toby L."I recently found myself watching Fantasia for the first time in some years and was hypnotised by the silouhettes and palette from the orchestra and conductor scenes - it felt like it’d be an appropriate jumping off point for placing a contemporary band performance within."We opted for setting them up in the round to showcase a different side to what you’d typically see from them onstage. Resonating with the song’s underlying theme, it’s a simplistic portrayal and embodiment of finding the light when battling through the dark."

Simon Lane directs a second, one-take live performance for Bastille's slot on&nbsp;The Late Late Show with James Corden.Give Me The Future gets a sci-fi inspired post apocalyptic treatment set within a beautifully faded art deco theatre.&nbsp;Frontman Dan Smith traverses the enigmatic location, revealing backup singers and then the rest of the group performing&nbsp;in the main section of the venue.&nbsp;The burnt orange lighting evokes an otherworldly&nbsp;Martian vibe, and the dystopian styling elevates this aesthetic.&nbsp;

Toby L directs a soaring live film for Damon Albarn's performance of Polaris.&nbsp;The cinematic concept is captured&nbsp;in striking monochrome, and boasts bespoke lighting setups and fluid camerawork, backed up by a full band on stage with the artist.&nbsp;Albarn's performance is front and centre, of course. But the visual treatment of this piece is cinematic and considered, and makes full use of Toby L's ambitious style and eye for design, with splendid cinematography by Nic Booth.&nbsp;

Sour Prom is a 30 minute concert film starring 2021’s biggest breakthrough artist, Olivia Rodrigo, co-directed by Kimberly Stuckwisch and Toby L.Featuring her debut, full length live performance, across seven songs, the film follows Rodrigo through an emotive and hyperreal journey to and through a prom, encountering anxieties and shady characters along the way, before finding euphoria and redemption for a climactic close on the football field.This alternative take on prom ultimately provides the conclusive notion that all that matters is not finding the dream date, but celebrating the spirit of friendship and inclusivity.
