A simple greeting turns into a full-on choreographed dance, in Louis Bhose's splendid promo for The Big Moon.&nbsp;Celebrating the comeback of the alternative indie group, we follow vocalist Juliette Jackson as she wakes up in the middle of a field, eventually regrouping with her fellow band members and running through an increasingly complex routine.It's a refreshingly simple yet punchy concept&nbsp;which feels fresh and timeless, whilst carrying a certain emotional weight to it, as the girls celebrate the start of their next chapter together.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;The use of a black studio environment to represent a fantasy version of the real world heightens the stylish aesthetic, whilst the real emotion drawn out of each member&nbsp;acts as an anchor to the whole project.&nbsp;"I've always been interested in bands returning from the wilderness - updating their Insta after eighteen months away with shadowy images and emojis," says Louis Bhose.&nbsp;"I thought it would be fun to have a band bump into each other, having not seen one another for ages, and start with this little handshake that then gets increasingly elaborate and emotional."That extends from a little fist bump into a big choreographed piece..."&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Big Moon 'Wide Eyes' by Louis Bhose

Marika Hackman&rsquo;s is not being very sociable, to say the least, in Will Hooper&#39;s video for I&#39;m Not Where You Are.In fact, Marika&nbsp;is emotionally detached, and unavailable - dead inside, even - in a number of different situations with friends and lovers. She&#39;s actually doing what many of us, perhaps secretly are,&nbsp;or dare to be. But there are consequences, and we&#39;re there to witness the fallout.It&#39;s&nbsp;a sort of modern comedy of manners, and&nbsp;highly enjoyable - with a great chucklesome ending.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Graham Smith brings his motion graphics expertise to bear on this innovative trailer-cum-ad for Väntar, the new EP heralding the long-awaited return after three years silence from&nbsp;Swedish artist Oskar Linnros.Linross is captured amid neo-brutalist architecture and railway tracks, a gritty setting that is then fragmented into shard-like arrrangements, providing a distinct counterpoint to the soaring music. It adds up to a&nbsp;diverting&nbsp;ninety second work that makes you want to hear more.&nbsp; &nbsp;

U2&rsquo;s latest track &ldquo;Ordinary Love&rdquo; is a striking music video created by Supply &amp; Demand director Mac Premo and Irish visual artist Oliver Jeffers. The hypnotic promo is shaped as a lyric video, invoking the words of Bono in soulful scribe that extends across a multitude of surfaces.Shot on location at The Invisible Dog Art Center in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, New York, U2&rsquo;s ballad plays as a tribute to Nelson Mandela. The track was created specifically by the band for the new biopic, Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom,&nbsp;reflecting upon Mandela&rsquo;s dignified persona and difficulties experienced after surviving 27 years of confinement in jail in South Africa.Ordinary Love&nbsp;marks the first release from U2 since their 2009 studio album&nbsp;No Line on the Horizon,&nbsp;and is timed to coincide with the release of the film. A limited number of 1,000 10-inch vinyl copies will also be available for purchase in select record stores.The Ordinary Love&nbsp;video&nbsp;opens on a sunrise of The Invisible Dog, focusing on various textures and colors at the art center&rsquo;s 100-year old structure before scribed prose spreads before us on a multitude of surfaces &ndash; chalk, ink and paint flowing across walls, plastic, paper, wood, human bodies, sidewalks, elevators and more.The inventive promo was initially conceived as an effects-based project before eventually becoming an artful, in-camera project. &ldquo;Although we first aimed to create a CGI music video the conversation kept steering back to doing it all in-camera,&rdquo; reveals Premo on the clip&rsquo;s artistic hand made effects.Jeffers adds that it soon became clear a more organically natured shoot better suited U2&rsquo;s emotional material. &ldquo;We finally made the decision to go in that direction and changed the shoot schedule accordingly to accommodate,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;But in doing so we discovered the joy of finding so many animated solutions in-camera.&rdquo;&ldquo;I think the process led to us exploring many more options at the location,&rdquo; continues Premo. &ldquo;We treated the job like an artistic commission instead of relying on storyboards. We just went for it &ndash; which was ultimately freeing for both of us artistically.&rdquo;The pair embraced a run-and-gun approach, garnering live footage and stop motion elements using a Sony FS-700 Camera, Nikkor 24-70mm f2.4 lens, Lensbaby Movie Maker&rsquo;s Kit, MYT Works Glider plus a Canon 5D MkIV with fast 50mm f1.4 lens. All material was shot at 24fps, while animation was captured on individual frames.&ldquo;I stopped everything down because I like having a narrow depth of field,&rdquo; reveals Premo, shooting with 2nd DP Oliver Jevremov. &ldquo;Shallow focus promotes a sense of intimacy because it hones in on certain points, plus allows you to define things by shifting focus. There is definitely a sense of discovery using this approach in the video.&rdquo;The theme of impermanence is felt throughout the clip as words fade and degrade, illustrating Bono&rsquo;s lyrics in a fresh and vital way. &ldquo;We didn&rsquo;t shoot for obvious metaphors,&rdquo; explains Premo on matching the song&rsquo;s theme. &ldquo;The idea of things fading plays large in the track &ndash; and it isn&rsquo;t necessarily a happy song, but an honest homage to Mandela that doesn&rsquo;t aggrandize his life in any way.&rdquo;Once the video was wrapped, U2 contacted Jeffers to ask if Mandela&rsquo;s image could also be included in the video. Realizing its importance, Jeffers agreed, collaborating with Premo once again to paint Mandela&rsquo;s portrait on an extra day of principal photography to accommodate their request.&ldquo;The band wanted to refer to Mandela directly because the song is obviously dedicated to him,&rdquo; says Jeffers on adding Mandela&rsquo;s portrait. &ldquo;We had to think quickly to come up with the concept you see in the video.&rdquo;Jeffers is referring to a beautiful portrait of Mandela that he painted, seen in time-lapse sequences as shot by Premo over the additional day. &ldquo;A lot of the fine art work I do is portraiture, so I painted Mandela very quickly to include it,&rdquo; he continues. &ldquo;We got up at the crack of dawn and photographed the painting at various stages of completion to fit it into the structure of the piece.&rdquo;To convey the rising and falling spirits of Mandela&rsquo;s life the duo also utilized an old freight elevator and cage inside The Invisible Dog. &ldquo;We used it to move up during certain lyrics and down with others to give a feel of what you are hearing,&rdquo; Jeffers adds.One direct tie-in to the Mandela biopic is a scene where a letter is opened &ndash; but censored with most of its writing erased: &ldquo;There is a moment in the film where Mandela receives a letter in prison from his wife,&rdquo; notes Premo. &ldquo;He opens it and there&rsquo;s nothing &ndash; everything has been omitted by the authorities. That definitely ties in with a very powerful scene in the film.&rdquo;Ann Lupo also assisted in post, editing the material and adding her own creative spin at key moments in the clip. &ldquo;She took direction phenomenally well and helped improve the piece,&rdquo; explains Premo. &ldquo;She came in on board with the whole team, was tight with the schedule and kept innovating throughout the process.&rdquo;U2&#39;s album of new material that includes Ordinary Love&nbsp;is set for release in the spring of 2014.

U2 - Ordinary Love (From Mandela OST) Lyric Video

For this beautiful and&nbsp;unique promo to The Beatles&#39; rendition of Buddy Holly&#39;s Words Of Love - taken from the&nbsp;album&nbsp;On Air - Live at the BBC Vol. 2 - Passion Pictures&#39; creative director Pete Candeland and directors&nbsp;Lee Gingold and Giles Dill collaborated and researched stories and footage from 1963 - the year&nbsp;The Beatles progressed from being the opening act on tour to very much the main event.The resulting&nbsp;video captures that heady period with a combination of archive news&nbsp;footage, material shot by director Richard Lester for the Fab Four&#39;s first movie A Hard Day&#39;s Night, and&nbsp;original frames of animation that&nbsp;create a narrative, part based in the fact of the band travelling Britain during the freezing winter of 1963, with an added whimsical graphic&nbsp;element. The witty pencil-rendered drawings, partly added to the old footage, suit the song and the period, but also feel fresh as a daisy. It&nbsp;looks like&nbsp;Lennon may have added doodles to the film himself.&nbsp;&nbsp;The directing team found that the archival footage had a naturally beautiful quality about it; grainy and ridden with imperfections, so a pencil-rendered finish was the best style for the designs. &ldquo;After listening to the album, the song that really stood out for us was the cover of Buddy Holly&rsquo;s Words of Love,&quot; says&nbsp;Belinda Blacklock, executive producer at&nbsp;Passion NYC. &quot;We felt that this song really helped us tell the story of the rise of The Beatles,&nbsp;and we tried to use that contagious energy from the album for our music video.&quot;&nbsp;And&nbsp;Pete Candeland adds,&nbsp;&quot;Having worked with The Beatles in the past, it was nice to come together again with everyone at Apple Corps to create and bring to life this visionary year.&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

His previous video, for G Frsh&#39;s Never Can I, has garnered a MVA nomination for best urban (budget) video, but James Partridge&#39;s latest video takes a different approach. The video for folk singer Dan Croll&#39;s Home follows Dan on a journey from London to Stoke-on-Trent, and then to Liverpool, to meet different generations of his family.&nbsp;Dan&#39;s such a nice chap he&#39;s fine&nbsp;about&nbsp;being filmed with his grandma...&nbsp;&nbsp;

Bristol-based breakbeat duo Stanton Warriors (Dominic Butler and Mark Yardley) got their namesake from a sidewalk manhole cover made by an industrial company called Stanton Ironworks&mdash;so it makes sense that their latest video for Cut Me Up &ndash; directed by <a href="https://vimeo.com/edwardjohndrake" target="_blank">Edward Drake</a> &ndash;&nbsp;is full of gritty urban landscapes, grungy skate rats and brutal face-stompings.These guys mean business - the twist being they&#39;re not guys at all. They&#39;re&nbsp;a gang of fierce skater girls terrorizing the men who did them wrong, while removing their shirts in the most intimidating ways possible.It&#39;s impressive stuff from a director just making the step up from assisting, who took a small budget a long way on the streets of Los Angeles, over several days.&nbsp;
