Dan French explores the anticipation, nerves and sheer excitement&nbsp;of a new relationship, in his promo for Navos's You And I, featuring Harlee.&nbsp;Following a guy and girl - played by Lucas Jones and Leelah Voh - who are planning to meet up at an unconventional party location, the visual treads familiar territory in the narrative,&nbsp;but executes it in a fresh and exciting way.&nbsp;Using bodyrigs, we get right up in on the action, following every smile, worried glance and relieved grin on the character's faces, before the camera dives into an untethered 360 shot of their first kiss.&nbsp;In keeping with the aesthetic, Navos and Harlee also make a cameo appearance at the party, adding a brief yet perfectly fitting performance element.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Mike Baldwin brings the party vibes in his high-energy promo for DJ/producer&nbsp;Bissett.&nbsp;Cleverly capturing a 360 degree snapshot of slick choreography via the use of a motion control rig, dancer Ellie is cloned across two striking timelines - one where she is alone in an industrial setting&nbsp;and the other at a neon-hued rave with a group of friends.&nbsp;It's a fun amalgamation of technology and tradition, and the addition of handheld setups and fun visual effects save the concept from becoming too repetitive.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;"I went round in circles trying to come up with a concept for this video - so that ended up being the idea," explains Baldwin. "I do love the maths and head-scratching involved with motion control shoots, and it's great seeing it all come together (and a relief that it works) in an edit."We lucked out with our main dancer, Ellie, who gave it her all on every take, again and again."&nbsp;

Max Siedentopf lends his delightfully eccentric style to this&nbsp;hypnotic promo for British five-piece Easy Life.&nbsp;The aptly-titled Daydreams features a succession of oscellating vignettes featuring frontman Murray with and without bandmates, capturing a brief glimpse of static moments in time before spinning into the next setup.&nbsp;Utilising the rotating movement popularised in the Atlanta Season 2 Trailer,&nbsp;the perpetual motion of the camera builds a rhythmic yet offbeat energy, elevated by the vibrant colours and Siedentopf's fondness for the absurd.&nbsp;

Easy Life 'Daydreams' by Max Siedentopf

Easy Life - Daydreams

The Hara succumb to a mysterious infection whilst acting as test subjects for an unseen organisation, in Alex Taylor's intense video for Until It Happens.&nbsp;Echoing real world anxieties around the pandemic and the lockdown of society, the enigmatic visual centres around a military-style hideout, where the band perform under camouflage from the outside world.&nbsp;A scattering of brilliant lo-fi visual effects adds a polish to the concept, transforming the environment into a sickly, hazardous nightmare - and The Hara's suitably riotous performance is the cherry on top.&nbsp;

43 years after its original release in 1977, Morgan Powell has directed an animated video for Bob Marley's Three Little Birds, as part of the celebrations in the year of what would have been&nbsp;Marley's 75th birthday.The visual puts a playful spin on the classic Big Bad Wolf fairytales. With the help of Three Little Birds (who, as we all know, sing sweet songs), Little Pig and Big Bad Wolf take the song’s advice and we witness the blossoming of an unlikely friendship - thanks to the imbibing of a certain substance.Universal Music invited Powell and Seed Animation&nbsp;to pitch on the track to be released on International Weed Day -&nbsp;20th April -&nbsp;to celebrate Bob’s Rastafarian roots.&nbsp;“I figured it would be interesting to pick two well-known enemies and flip their relationship on its head," says Powell. "I wanted to pose the question of what happens if you push through fear? And what’s on the other side of that? Little did we know when we started the project that by the end of production, the song's message would be even more relevant.”&nbsp;Bob Marley's&nbsp;daughter Cedella has said on the release of the new Three Little Birds video: “This song has helped provide hope and light for so many over the years - including me - and I hope it does the same for people now, especially with all that is going on in the world.”

This 14 minute visual to accompany tracks from the critically-acclaimed and end of year poll-topper Norman F***ing Rockwell encompasses the impossibly cool allure&nbsp;of Lana Del Rey. It's homespun and unequivocally lo-fi, and also trippy, magical, occasionally weird. The mellow, retro-LA vibe, its stately pace, plays well with dark ballads such as Happiness Is A Butterfly.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This was directed by the photographer Chuck Grant -&nbsp;Lana Del Rey's sister - and 'edited by LDR'. So it really is very much an&nbsp;augmented home movie,&nbsp;and also about&nbsp;the most stylishly LDR-ish visual she's ever made.

The Naive New Beaters are back with an impressive concept video for I See Fire by Esteban &amp; Zane.&nbsp;This&nbsp;one-shot video takes us across an amazing endless convertible limo - packed full of luxuries such as a hot tub, pool table and bedroom suites -&nbsp;in continual birds eye view.The art direction and VFX are spot-on, creating the desired illusion of a true party on wheels. The relaxed, fun vibe of the group&nbsp;and Roxane Mesquida -&nbsp;deputising for featured artist Ana Zimmer - helps sell the delightfully surreal, very NNB concept. And there are a few twists and turns along the way ensure the project isn't a one trick pony.

Taz Tron Delix teams up with Ella Eyre, Banx &amp; Ranx and Kiana Ledé to create a dazzling showpiece for Ella's return to action - as they create a world in which Ella can air her&nbsp;boyfriend's dirty laundry.We are thrown into his world of moving furniture, offbeat images and vibrant colours, that match&nbsp;Ella’s star power energy and fierce dance moves. It's TTD's most commercial video yet, but he maintains&nbsp;his distinctively individual style with disorientating signature camera wizardry, together with&nbsp;moving furniture, offbeat imagery and saturated colour.Lensed by Hunter Daly, the video is frenetic and hyper-surreal, and flies through a series of conceptual setups to accompany&nbsp;the main performance scenes. The use of bright colour palettes and bold set builds from Jabez Bartlett help marry the concepts together, and performances from Ella and Kiana help ground an idea that could have been overwhelming for a director with less experience.It's a spicey visual feast for a great late-summer anthem. Now can we have some nice weather to go with it?

Danilo Parra channels a Nineties classic in this video&nbsp;for the LA-based R&amp;B duo Emotional Oranges. But although the famous pottery scene in Ghost has been widely parodied in the past, Parra revives its essential emotional core.It's all about loss of someone very close, and then finding that connection again - which Parra achieves in the Good To Me video, expressing a vivid degree of&nbsp;sensuality through the performances of his leads.And there's real pottery-making too...&nbsp;&nbsp;

Swedish directing duo BABYBABY&#39;s video for Mikky Ekko, works with the emotion in the delivery of the heartfelt Fame&nbsp;to deliver a satisfyingly intense drama set in a familiar setting for filmmakers - the casting session.When a febrile female actress&nbsp;fails to get the encouragement she thinks she deserves during a casting, her performance just becomes more unhinged - then spills over into violence.Apparently this was based on real events. So if you&#39;re ever at a casting session, be careful not to look bored...&nbsp;&nbsp;

A collaboration between director&nbsp;Gemma Yin Taylor, and creative technologist&nbsp;Pierre Tardif to create a lyric video for Sigrid&#39;s Sucker Punch in augmented reality. GEMMA YIN TAYLOR:&quot;We have collaborated before, but only on music for my animations, as Pierre&rsquo;s hobby outside of coding is sound design. We had been looking for ways to bring our ideas to life, waiting for the right project to come up. When Sigrid&rsquo;s team approached me about making a new lyric video for Sucker Punch it was the perfect opportunity to try something with augmented reality. The team are really open to new ideas so let us run with it. It would be the fourth lyric video that I have created for Sigrid so I have a thorough understanding of her style and aesthetic which I knew would lend itself to this bold/experimental approach.&quot;I worked on the video concept, design and direction alongside Pierre who set to work on developing an app which would place the lyrics within augmented reality - live within 3D space as you look through the camera of the device. Using Openframeworks -creative coding framework - for iOS and ARKit to create the apps, Pierre created a range of effects to apply to the text. Some effects were achieved using real-time feed of the camera, such as texture mapping on the sides of a polygon, or rotation speed averaging. We filmed some of the lyrics with Sigrid, who was really open and responsive to this relatively foreign way of working. The rest of the footage was filmed in various locations in Europe.&quot;This way of working turned the process on its head for me - instead of animating all of the lyrics manually, the text was captured live in space in response to the movement of the camera. You have to be creative in a different way - by using the world around you and the device to the best use in that moment. We were free to shoot virtually anywhere with a very inconspicuous kit and zero implications, as no-one questions people filming or photographing innocuous scenes on their phones. There is a wildness in the way we filmed it which complements the energy of the track - a dynamism that I would normally have to create using software. Once we had captured the footage of the lyrics with various different effects, I just had to edit all of the recordings afterwards to be timed with the track. The film has a &lsquo;smartphone&rsquo; aesthetic which mirrors the masses of social content that populates our streams every day, but the augmented reality text and graphics gives it a really fresh and distinctive twist.&quot; &nbsp;
