Charlie Sarsfield directs a charming promo for Jax Jones and Calum Scott - who take a trip on a cramped night bus, for Whistle.&nbsp;Using clever motion control camera moves to capture the rowdy atmosphere on the bus - the same one that Jones used to ride in his local neighbourhood -&nbsp;the lives of the passengers unfold.&nbsp;And the outcome is a video that feels intimate and endearing, emanating feel-good vibes throughout.&nbsp;The inclusion of dynamic drone shots of the city contrasts the packed bus environment, adding a sense of space and time to the concept.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

Following their collaboration on <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2022/11/07/louis-tomlinson-out-my-system-charlie-sarsfield/79113" target="_blank">Out Of My System</a>, Charlie Sarsfield reunites with Louis Tomlinson&nbsp;for a&nbsp;second video, this time for latest release Silver Tongues.&nbsp;The nostalgic promo pays homage to a lost youth through a series of powerful portraits and setups, with Louis as the focal point who connects each story.&nbsp;Threads of a narrative run through the video, but the heart of the concept is in the evocative vignettes, which exude raw emotion and universally relatable situations.&nbsp;Aside from being gorgeously shot and crafted, the casting is spot-on, and these characters feel like people that you may know, leaning into the powerful nostalgia of youth and the feelings of time gone by.

Charlie Sarsfield directs a surprisingly intense promo for Louis Tomlinson's comeback single.&nbsp;The pop-punk vibes of new track Out Of My System are visualised through fast-paced camerawork and saturated red lighting, with distorted frame rates and close-up&nbsp;angles&nbsp;to elevate the stylised concept.&nbsp;The enclosed location works perfectly as a contrast to the dynamism of the concept, with the frantic energy threatening to bubble over and spill through the walls.&nbsp;It's a thoroughly impactful way&nbsp;for Tomlinson to mark his return to action.&nbsp;

Charlie Sarsfield directs a compelling promo for George Ezra's Dance All Over Me, which sees George in a large studio space, performing as a group of dancers begin to multiply behind him.&nbsp;Transitioning from wide shots to extreme close-ups, the camera glides around the space smoothly, capturing a hypnotic amalgam of movement and performance.[imgtoken data:1]"Since watching his early videos, I’ve always wanted to work with George and actually doing so has been quite surreal," says Sarsfield.&nbsp;"The idea stemmed from taking inspiration and techniques traditionally used in hip hop videos from the likes of Kendrick Lemar and Pa Salieu, where people in the background begin to multiply."We wanted it to feel like George had walked onto the wrong set, surrounded by dancers. As the track progresses, the choreo really comes to life, almost as if the music inspired them to move."George liked the idea of having line dancing, featuring LOTs of dancers and the routine was masterfully put together by Suzzette Brissett. Huge thanks to everyone involved in bringing this to life. It’s great to see it out in the world.“I’m really proud of this video. It was an ambitious set up and the team executed it beautifully."

Charlie Sarsfield directs a boisterous&nbsp;visual for Yungblud’s latest release, Tissues.Shot in the striking Porchester Hall, the video sees the&nbsp;megastar perform to camera as carefully crafted scenes of mayhem break out around him, frozen in time.Harnessing the singer's unremitting energy, the concept explores what it feels like to be in love, and the whirlwind of emotions that come with the feeling.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]<blockquote>I wanted to represent that moment of holding your breath before taking the plunge.</blockquote>“Yungblud is one of the most interesting artists I’ve worked with for a number of reasons,"&nbsp;says Sarsfield&nbsp;"He’s infectious, and such a lovely human being, but also an artist that strives for perfection throughout every process.&nbsp;We spoke everyday in the lead up to the visual, tweaking certain bits, and introducing new vignettes as we went."I wanted the visual to portray that scary but beautiful moment of falling in love. It’s beautiful because of how special love is, but scary because you become so vulnerable. By having everyone in the video static throughout until the release for the last chorus, I wanted to represent that moment of holding your breath before taking the plunge. "The focus of the video is on Yungblud and his captivating performance but we also had to craft a bespoke and intriguing world around him without taking away from that epic performance. You could watch this video several times and notice something different which adds an extra layer of fun.”

Director Charlie Sarsfield continues his collaboration with Kojey Radical with the video for Payback, featuring Knucks - and adding a few more famous faces too, at a swish dinner&nbsp;party.&nbsp;&nbsp;The dynamic visual perfectly encapsulates the high energy track, bringing to life a sumptuous aesthetic that sees the artist and his friends breaking bread and partying in style, dripping with luxury styling - with classic Saville Row suits adorning each of the artists.[imgtoken data:1]Kojey and Knucks are joined by Wretch 32, Cashh, Shae Universe, Niko Omilana and more, at a spectacular location, for a contrasting follow-up to Sarsfield's previous collab for Kojey Radical - the reflective, domestic-set video for Gangsta.“It's been a real joy to work closely with Kojey on our second consecutive visual," says Charlie Sarsfield. "We spoke of wanting to build on Gangsta, pushing that aesthetic. Our tag line became, 'If Gangsta was the journey, Payback is the fruition’. Maintaining our portrait approach to performance, emphasis was put on careful framing again.[imgtoken data:2]“Kojey asked me to watch a film called Climax&nbsp;which inspired the high angled shots. We then paired this up with inspiration from old school music videos by the likes of Beastie Boys and NWA with low angled framing, which helped to create a really dynamic visual across the board. We felt this ‘old school’ backbone matched and elevated the sound that Swindle masterfully pieced together."It was an honour to quite literally dance with Kojey again and it was my first time working with Knucks, who is such a great artist and someone I'd admired from afar for a while. It wasn't without its trials, but the payback has been all worth it."

Charlie Sarsfield sensitively brings to life Kojey Radical's path from childhood to the present day in the video for GANGSTA.The cinematic film is an emotional and intimate portrayal of Kojey’s relationship with his family and his unwavering admiration and respect for his mum - who is the 'gangsta' of the songtitle, due to her indominitable attitude, and fortitude in the face of every challenge.Sarsfield dramatises the domestic setting, and the relationship between mother and boy, in the video in which Kojey appears as a 'fly on the wall', performing while the action plays out. He reveals&nbsp;his vulnerability in a captivating performance which is elevated by careful lighting and a nostalgic palette which perfectly blends the present with the past.[imgtoken data:1]This is the latest video featuring Kojey Radical produced by Untold Studios - he also features in the recently released film presentation of Swindle's new album. In this case, Kojey's sister Marsha also played a role behind the camera, advising Sarsfield on the creative vision - and his mother was also at the shoot.Talking about the video, Kojey Radical has commented:&nbsp;“Gangsta is such a personal song for me and I really wanted to make sure we captured the essence of family in a way that felt empowering."I normally would help direct my videos, but this time I gave that role to my sister alongside Charlie Sarsfield. It’s easily one of my favourite videos to date and it was an honour to have my mother and my family on set.”
