Colin Read mixes past and present, toying&nbsp;with our perception of the digital world, in his video for indie-rock legends Weezer.Read affectionately draws upon the the band's roots in the 1990s, dovetailed with their selves in the here and now, to create&nbsp;a sort of anachronistic hybrid reality, with a different kind of internet: the optimism and sociability of early web days are back - courtesy of a young man with a magic chatroom portal. But then, everyone also has smartphones.Our hero connects with a female chatroom pal - and then they join up in reality. The magic portal then takes them elsewhere, and finally to Weezer in the studio. And these transitions are achieved by 90s-tastic in-camera trickery rather than post VFX. But can 90s tech really triumph over the modern variety?It's an ambitious, constantly imaginative way to show how the more interconnected we are through the internet and social media, the less connected we are as human beings. And nothing makes that point clearer than the video's downbeat ending.[imgtoken data:1]

Emil Nava gets back together with Ed Sheeran to deconstruct the absolute hell out of the music video universe. And if doesn&#39;t look very slick, and you can tell it&#39;s really bad greenscreen.... well, they don&#39;t care.So we get Ed in a Panda bear suit,&nbsp;jet skiing bananas, ice creams and a Pegasus, and much more. And Bieber, of course...

In Daniel Henry&#39;s video for Josh Pan, four teenagers arrive at a house in the desert, which gives them the opportunity to unshackle from their regular inhibitions. And the results are somewhat unsettling, and make for a coolly watchable video.

Jordan Max rides his motorbike into the wide open, empty spaces of Wyoming, in David Helman&#39;s richly atmospheric video for two tracks from Max&#39;s album Tales Of Us.&nbsp;In the first part, for Me, Mary, My Guitar, Max&#39;s journey takes him through the plains, from day to night, and arriving in Wind River, WM.In Kingdom, elements of a narrative add heft to the atmosphere, and Max&#39;s performances. There&#39;s&nbsp;a girl, a payout at an Indian reservation casino, an assignation&nbsp;at a gas station.But mainly Helman keeps the narrative tantalisingly out of reach, so we focus on Max&nbsp;and his existential loneliness.

The second video for pop supergroup LSD brings the psychedelic animation of the first into the real world, and it really takes flight in the hands of Ernest Desumbila.The director who has done great things in the past combining cartoon-like animation with live action - in particular last year&#39;s&nbsp;ludicrously fun <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2017/06/05/snails-botnek-waffle-house-ernest-desumbila" target="_blank">Waffle House</a> for Snails &amp; Botnek&nbsp; - has conjured a kind of origins story for this superteam for their song Audio.Diplo slips a LSD cassette into the tape player of the old BMW he&#39;s just bought from a slippery car dealer, and finds himself accompanied by cartoon leopards; Sia&#39;s LSD avatar comes alive in a living, ever-expanding balloon character, transforming the life of her young friend; Labrinth wakes up to an LA that is an augmented reality-like psychedelic trip.It all builds to a really uplifting finale, and a fully animated climax which signals that the team have found each other. &nbsp;

Pasqual Guiterrez delicately weaves three emotionally-charged vignettes at a&nbsp;time of great uncertainty and mounting fear, in Jack White&#39;s powerful Connected by Love.The storylines never directly interact with one another, and Guiterrez shows each set of characters coming to grips with the unknown in different ways - poetic, tragic, intimate, full of redemption, and ultimately, acceptance of life&rsquo;s greatest unknown.

A big summer hit deserves a big summer video and Henry Scholfield has certainly delivered with this one for Dua Lipa.In New Rules, Dua needs to get through the difficult end of relationship with an unsuitable boyfriend, told in frank terms, with an empowering end result. Scholfield has captured this spirit with a brilliant updating of classic musical filmmaking and essentially doing what he does best.Shot in Miami, this is a beautifully designed, cast&nbsp;and styled production number in three acts, with on-point choreography&nbsp;and continually inventive camerawork. It combines the spirit and look of &#39;50s Americana with a fresh, whipsmart attitude. And flamingos.And of course the camera loves Dua so much, she can cope admirably with being the central figure in a large ensemble. Having worked together on her video for Lost In Your Light, the singer has said &quot;&rsquo;[Henry] does really cool work with choreography. He&nbsp;just has such brilliant ideas.&rdquo;In fact, it looks like the director who has done some great work with Stromae in the past few years, has found a thrilling new muse.&nbsp;

Vince Staples is in a spot of bother but doesn&#39;t appear to be all that vexed by the situation in David M. Helman&#39;s latest clip.Staples, the only man aboard a small boat sinking in the middle of the ocean seems to have either accepted his fate or really knows how to keep calm under pressure as he raps along and awaits the inevitable. With nothing around for miles, a minimalist blue and white colour palette and a wash of serenity from Staples&#39; performance - the clip feels meditative, almost zen-like, in its presentation. Even when the boat is surrounded by sharks, or a distress flare is shot into the night sky.

David Helman&#39;s video for Michael Kiwanuka is a delirious&nbsp;and beautiful film about&nbsp;bonding and transformation.Starring Keith Stanfield (of Get Out, Straight Outta Compton, and Atlanta fame), the video depicts two young men in the suburbs as they beckon in a cleansing storm. The world seems lonely, as if these two only have each other. A great tenderness is given to the performances, something only underlined by the intimate, voyeuristic nature of the cinematography.On the face of it, this video is merely an aimless drive around an empty town, but on subsequent views the poetry between the scenes becomes more apparent.&nbsp;

You know how we often have notes from the director about how they made the video, under this bit? Well, Ryan Staake had a better idea: putting his Director&#39;s Notes actually in the video itself.&nbsp;It wasn&#39;t quite what he had planned originally&nbsp;for the video for Young Thug&#39;s Wyclef Jean. But why explain further when Ryan does so in the video itself?Suffice to say, there have been meta-videos before, and they tend to be fun things. But this may well be the best ever. And as Young Thug doesn&#39;t come out of it in the best light, somewhat miraculous&nbsp;that it was released at all.

Simon Cahn explores the duality of success in this harrowing, nightmarish video for Danny Brown.Predominantly featuring Brown suspended from chains in a car park, or being dragged along the floor, the visuals here are simple yet striking. Intercut with archival footage of Reagan and Bush Sr. plus Danny Brown himself on a political rostrum, and mixing newer digital and older VHS formats for an intense gut-punch clip.&ldquo;Pneumonia feels like a surreal nosebleed torture of a track &ndash;&nbsp;in all the best ways,&quot; says Cahn. &quot;I tried to get the same emotions in the video. Big up to Danny for hanging upside down in the air all night.&rdquo;

David M. Helman brings a heap of cool to this GTA &amp; Vince Staples clip.&nbsp;A simple performance video sees Vince Staples surround himself with a gang of synchronised&nbsp;BMWs. With dust flying around a minimalist industrial location, the beauty of this video is in its simplicity and the cool-as-hell execution.

Ryan Staake turns his attention to the tricky business of Time Slice for Clams Casino, and bringing together mulitple images captured in the same spot in Long Beach,&nbsp;at different times of day. The result is a&nbsp;visually unique piece to echo the track and performance of All Nite by Vince Staples and Clams.
