Director

Vaughan Arnell

Vaughan Arnell directs an introspective video for George Cosby's Real Love.&nbsp;Set within a darkened studio space, Cosby is&nbsp;sat in his&nbsp;car as a projector beams snapshots of love stories onto a screen ahead, reminiscent of his own mini drive-in theatre.&nbsp;It's a simple concept executed to perfection, intertwining narrative and performance with a touch of Arnell's magic thrown in for good measure.&nbsp;

Vaughan Arnell directs a chromatic promo for Gary Barlow and guest artists Michael Buble and&nbsp;Sebastian Yatra.Shot across three countries, the video marks another collaboration between Arnell and Barlow - one that probably began with the Take That video for Back For Good in the mid-Nineties -&nbsp;and radiates their trademark feel-good vibes.&nbsp;Switching between minimalist performance and&nbsp;kaleidoscopic dance sections, the rhythmic stylings of the track are visualised through Will Bex's&nbsp;cinematography -&nbsp;and the irresistible spark of&nbsp;energy from all three artists.&nbsp;"The video was shot in London with Gary, and then remote directing Michael in Vancouver and Sebastian in Miami," explains Vaughan.&nbsp;"Will Bex designed the lighting set up so that it could be duplicated for each artist in their respective cities - using the same camera, lenses and specifically designed moves to give it a constant look and feel."

Following a <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2020/01/28/james-blunt-monsters-vaughan-arnell/62957" target="_blank">very emotional encounter with James Blunt</a>, Vaughan Arnell's next outing is something quite different - and almost as surprising - for the returning Pet Shop Boys.For a start, the PSBs' Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe are in the video for Monkey Business,&nbsp;the first time that's happened for ten years. They have also shown up to party&nbsp;- this is not the aloof Boys of old - in a nightclub with a dancefloor straight of Saturday Night Fever, with a bunch of serious party animals.Neil and Chris's mates are a crucial part of the package here - all shapes and sizes, and all fantastic dancers, each given their moment to shine.&nbsp;And Vaughan also manages the previously impossible feat&nbsp;of getting Chris Lowe to try out some dance moves.&nbsp;&nbsp;Hedonistic and feelgood, it's&nbsp;not really like any Pet Shop Boys video before, and yet they still own it completely. The time is definitely right for some Monkey Business.

Vaughan Arnell's latest video for James Blunt is about as emotionally raw as they come.Monsters is a song that Blunt has written for and addressed to his father, in what we perceive to be the last stages of his life (he is indeed gravely ill, battling stage four chronic kidney disease).&nbsp;And Blunt's emotion as he is singing in the video is&nbsp;clearly evident from the start: he&nbsp;is welling up from the first verse. That is surprising, even with the nature of the song,&nbsp;but it is unquestionably real, as the camera never wavers from a single close-up of his face.&nbsp;But there is more, and then it becomes clear why the Blunt's true feelings are so palpably raw:&nbsp;he is not only singing to his father - his father is sitting next to him. If you haven't had a lump in your throat by that point, you will after that.

Robbie is back and presenting us with his own version of a traditional Christmas with Time For Change, directed with a nod and wink by - who else? - Vaughan Arnell.Opening with Robbie and wife Ayda's&nbsp;kids running down the hallway, bursting into the Williamses&nbsp;bedroom and setting off the day with a bang, the&nbsp;video is made up of stylised vignettes of the family making the most of the festive season.With cheeky winks from Williams, Ayda and their dog (who also lipsyncs a very catchy part of the track), everyone knows this is a little bit cheesy and fun - but isn't that what Christmas songs are all about? Especially when performed by Robbie, and directed by Vaughan.The video portraits of the family cooking dinner, opening presents and messing around in the garden feels universal, giving everyone something they can relate to. The animation on the animals also hits the mark, cementing Arnell's status as the go-to director for four-legged humour (following the incredible Clearscore adverts with Moose, the&nbsp;what doing&nbsp;dog).&nbsp;Traditional fun with a little campness and comedy thrown in, Williams effortlessly captures our attention yet again, and this is already well on its way to becoming a favourite track of the season. And we're not out of November yet...&nbsp;

Legendary music video director Vaughan Arnell brings his absolute A-game to this collaboration between Sam Smith and future R&amp;B pop queen Normani. It&#39;s a very classy, beautifully-crafted belter of a video.Reflecting the sultry melancholy and brooding sexuality of the song Dancing With A Stranger, solitary Sam Smith is joined in his super modern house in the wintry countryside by ghosts - or holograms who come alive within and around him. It&#39;s a very Arnell-esque way to introduce the dancers that haunt Smith, evoking the classic Fastlove video for George Michael he directed with Anthea Benton in the mid-90s.And then comes the explosively sexy Normani, whose combination of vocals and dance add a new dimension to the song and the video. You can&#39;t take your eyes off her. And although they never meet - appropriately considering the song - the production makes the two performers dovetail together perfectly. There&#39;s great work here by a whole team of people - including DoP Will Bex and Arnell&#39;s regular editor David Webb. A real treat.&nbsp;

Evergreen Rick Astley returns with a stripped-back performance video directed by Vaughan Arnell - but it&#39;s not quite just the man and his mic.Arnell adds a supporting cast of Rick-alikes to add brilliant variety to the delivery of Beautiful Life. In fact, these fellow performers come in all different shapes, sizes, ages, sexes and colours - wonderfully cast by the director.&nbsp;But they all add to Astley&#39;s own&nbsp;energy and pizzazz,&nbsp;pushing&nbsp;the feelgood factor off the scale.A definite mood enhancer to suit the seize-the-day sentiments of the song.&nbsp;

The original music video couple, Vaughan Arnell and Robbie Williams, are back for an incredible 16th collaboration.The Heavy Entertainment Show video sees Robbie play all the major roles in a boxing match. Ring announcer&nbsp;Robbie calls the match as two prize fighters (Robbie Vs Robbie) beat the living hell from one another in a battle of golden spit and glamorous ringside entourage complete with make-up that certainly feels like a throwback to Robbie &amp; Vaughan&#39;s Let Me Entertain You video from 1998.

One look at his Twitter feed will tell you&nbsp;that despite your feelings for James Blunt, the man is incredibly self-aware. And self-deprecating to a tee. A recent Blunt line went: &quot;&quot;You thought 2016 was bad? I&#39;m releasing a new album in 2017.&quot;With that as a driving force, Vaughan Arnell reunites with Blunt to provide the ideal vehicle for the album&#39;s first single Love Me Better, blending hyper-colourful pop slickness and tongue-in-cheek humour in the kind&nbsp;a location the singer knows only too well - a neon-drenched nightclub.And tonight, Blunt happens to be the least popular patron in the club - but coming to terms&nbsp;with his fate. Imagine if Nicolas Winding-Refn&#39;s&nbsp;Only God Forgives&nbsp;was actually about a 42-year-old man who can&#39;t keep up with nightclub culture despite his best intentions and you&#39;re most of the way there.

Vaughan Arnell brings a heap of style and class to proceeding in this Kate Moss-starring karaoke performance for an Elvis classic.Piling icons on top of icons here, Arnell&nbsp;(Icon Award winner at this year&#39;s UKMVAs) employs Kate Moss to lip-sync Elvis Presley&#39;s &#39;Wonder of You&#39; (backed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, no less) at none other than Abbey Road Studios.What&#39;s more, the whole thing was shot with a mix of traditional black and white, and infrared cameras - making for a uniquely stylish video proving that Arnell goes big, even for what seems, on paper, like a relatively simple performance video.

After <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2016/10/03/robbie-williams-party-russian-vaughan-arnell">partying like Russians</a>&nbsp;in their last collaboration, Vaughan Arnell and Robbie Williams take it down a couple of notches with a beachside stroll in the video for &#39;Love My Life&#39;.Of course, it&#39;s not a Robbie video unless he&#39;s being escorted by a squad&nbsp;of attractive women, only this time they&#39;re seemingly part of the crew. Armed with cameras and circling Robbie as he wanders the open land, the whole thing spins out as a playful commentary on Robbie&#39;s celebrity status, the tribulations of fame and surveillance as a whole &ndash; with some subtle nods to classic 60s show The Prisoner&nbsp;in there too.It&#39;s certainly a quieter, stripped-back affair for the Williams/Arnell duo, but it&#39;s unlikely they&#39;ll remain quiet for too long...

They are back. Robbie Williams returns with a video by his long-time collaborator Vaughan Arnell, and this beguiling, bombastic, very entertaining&nbsp;video for&nbsp;Party Like A Russian delivers exactly what it says on the tin.&nbsp;Following exiled oligarch Robbie and his endless&nbsp;swagger around&nbsp;a massive mansion,&nbsp;the singer struts his stuff,&nbsp;surrounded by a carousel of devilish ballerinas and tiara-wearing&nbsp;ballroom&nbsp;dancers. With the song&#39;s cheeky&nbsp;sampling from Prokofiev&rsquo;s&nbsp;Dance of the Knights, Robbie seems to both parody Russia&#39;s&nbsp;corrupt state of affairs while simultaneously suggesting we should take some&nbsp;tips from&nbsp;them, and party&nbsp;with abandon.And Vaughan is still Robbie&#39;s&nbsp;perfect foil. Supported by a top-notch crew &ndash; including DoP Tat Radcliffe, art director Alison Dominitz and choreographer Ashley Wallen &ndash; he&nbsp;orchestrates this ridiculous, eyepopping&nbsp;business to a tee.

Fabulous.

James Blunt 'When I Find Love Again' by Vaughan Arnell

James Blunt - When I Find Love Again [Official Video]

Shot on location in South Africa, Vaughan Arnell&#39;s uplifting video for The Script&#39;s Superheroes is a both an original, arguably unique performance video, and also a timely celebration of human endeavour and spirit in the face of insurmountable odds.Vaughan - who makes a brief cameo himself &ndash; and his crew and the band&nbsp;went to a township in Johannesburg to film the performance element - and it was lit entirely by flares held by locals. The connection between The Script and the surrounding crowd is obvious - particularly at the end of the video.And in a stirring narrative element&nbsp;we also glimpse true hardship, refracted through hope - the&nbsp;story of a father working tremendously hard to help bring up his young daughter. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
