The second in a series of videos by William Williamson for Philip Selway of Radiohead's forthcoming solo album Strange Dance continues the story begun in the first. The video for Picking Up Pieces&nbsp;features the same quartet of iconic dancers as the video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2022/12/09/philip-selway-check-signs-life-william-williamson/79675" target="_blank">Check For Signs Of Life</a>:&nbsp;Siobhan Davies, Kenneth Olumuyiwa Tharp, Liam Francis and Simone Davies - with the piece also choreographed by Liam Francis&nbsp;and Simone Davies.Once again, it is filmed as a one-shot, with cinematography by DoP&nbsp;Adric Watson, this time working with colour 16mm film.&nbsp;The video features a spinning camera movement designed to mimic motoric pulse of the track, and takes it’s gorgeous golden brown autumnal colour palette from a painting made by artist Stuart Geddes in response to Selway’s new album.[imgtoken data:1]“We all viewed this film as a continuation of the last, with the choreography having echoes of our characters worlds whilst simultaneously unfolding new elements and emotions," says Williamson."I love the idea of creating a synergy between the music and the camera movement. So we not only decided to shoot this as a one take again, but the motorik pulse of the track and the powerful lyrics perfectly lent itself to a predominant circular camera movement. "Working closely with the dancers we wanted the constantly moving camera to be always revealing different components and layers of the performance, drawing attention to specific points within each frame as it passes by and the story slowly unfolds.“

Philip Selway 'Picking Up Pieces' by William Williamson

Philip-Selway-'Picking-Up-Pieces'-by-William-Williamson

Willliam Williamson has directed a mesmerizing one-take video, capturing a marvellous quartet of dance talent for Philip Selway.The video for Check For Signs Of Life, the first release from Strange Dance, the forthcoming solo album from Selway&nbsp;- best known as the drummer for Radiohead - features four&nbsp;renowned and award-winning dancers and choreographers: Siobhan Davies, Kenneth Olumuyiwa Tharp, Simone Damberg Würtz and Liam Francis.Produced by Uncommon Creative Studio, with black and white cinematography by Adric Watson, the idea behind the video came from the artist, who has envisaged a series of dance videos to accompany several tracks from the new album. Selway wanted this piece to explore imagined conversations between future and past selves, and to be based around this particular quartet of dancers.In the video, the camera takes the role of a fifth dancer with Steadicam operator Jake Whitehouse executing that highly demanding&nbsp;role. As William Williamson explains, it was an approach that emerged out of rehearsals with the dancers.&nbsp;“Working closely alongside Philip and choreographers Simone and Liam we set out to explore the complex relationship between future and former self through the medium of contemporary dance," he says. "Transcending time and moving through varied emotions, we wanted to create a film that will inspire the audience to hang their own narrative on."As we rehearsed, the intimacy and fragility of the choreography became so clear I decided to shoot it all in a single take. It meant pulling together the dance, camera and lighting, to communicate a sense of unity and power, which stays focused in the moment.”

Thomas James directs a beautifully twisted and sublimely surreal exploration of&nbsp;inner demons coming&nbsp;to life, in his promo for Bring Me The Horizon's Strangers.In a nondescript industrial space, a host of characters undergo Cronenberg-style body horror transformations, intercut with a suitably haunting performance from the band.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]Bodies twist, contort and conjoin in a horrific yet eerily beautiful way, balancing a nightmarish aesthetic with hyper-intimate, bravura cinematography by Adam Barnett.James draws on a host of influences - including&nbsp;a special nod to Chris Cunningham and Aphex Twin's Rubber Johnny - but adds his own facility for narrative and sense of humanity to the outstanding VFX work. It's a brilliantly successful execution of a stunningly ambitious concept.[imgtoken data:2]

Jordan Rossi returns with a candy-coated performance promo for Sophie Ellis-Bextor and The Feeling.Incorporating footage from blockbuster feature&nbsp;Everyone's Talking About Jamie - the movie version of the musical co-written by The Feeling's Dan Gillespie Sells -&nbsp;Rossi soaks the video in&nbsp;his signature colourful aesthetic, building the concept around vibrant performance vignettes.&nbsp;Since the video went live, Jordan has hosted a number of talks on diversity and LGBTQ+ representation, calling for greater inclusion and action from the industry as LGBTQ&nbsp;hate crimes continue to rise within the UK."I was so thrilled when the brief came over as I was such a fan of the musical," says Rossi.&nbsp;"And then getting to collaborate with artists such as Sophie Ellis-Bextor, who I've always greatly admired, and The Feeling, who are continual hitmakers, was an absolute dream."It was a fantastic shoot day with great energy on set. Luke [Scully, the DoP] really nailed the look and feel harkening back to those old smoky club nights. Also congratulations have to go to Sophie whose recent 24 Hour Danceathon raised over one million pounds for Children In Need. She's amazing."

James Theseus Buck and Luke Brooks - aka Rottingdean Bazaar - bring their innovative&nbsp;mixed media magic to Audiobooks' new promo for Lalala It’s The Good Life.Working with longtime collaborator&nbsp;Annie Collinge, they styled and photographed the band in a studio to create stills for detailed fabric prints.&nbsp;They then poke hands through, fold, wobble, and vacuum the prints against&nbsp;a variety of muted backdrops, allowing them to pop off the screen.By packing each frame with clever movements to create the impression of moving lips, guitar playing and dancing - and that's just the start of it -&nbsp;the video has instant replay value. In true Rotttingdean style, they capture the chaos and fun of the track while creating something that is distinctively them.&nbsp;Following on from their adventurous abstract fashion film Scale, their music video&nbsp;for the band Dry Cleaning, and&nbsp;pieces for Burberry, Bottega Veneta, Microsoft and Paul Smith, Rottingdean Bazaar continue to push boundaries and expand their impressive portfolio into new and exciting places.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Molly Burdett’s second collaboration with Glaswegian soul singer Joesef celebrates the freedom and energy of youth, and the infectious power of dancing like no one is watching.The video focusses upon a working class community, life in a social club, and a sense of wellbeing and confidence of a young boy within that setting, to go off to dance on his own in the indoor bowling area. And that inspires Joesef and his mates to follow his lead, and chance their arm at some impromptu dancing.Burdett dovetails the documentary look with a bit of heartstring-tugging entertainment - shot on 35mm film by Miles Ridgeway. No wonder she describes the style as "Billy Elliot meets Andrea Arnold."

Remi Laudat directs a colourful and&nbsp;hyperactive visual for Nothing But Thieves.&nbsp;Shot from a first-person perspective, we see a hand burst through different doors&nbsp;as the band glitch and close in on him in a Groundhog Day-style concept.Mixing frenetic handheld shots with clever in-camera transitions and effects, the video maintains its quickfire pace throughout, feeling like a nightmare on fast-forward."The visual is vibrant, at times disorientating and coincidentally quite relevant to society’s current situation," says Laudat. "Let’s hope everyone isn’t going crazy and this video serves as a little moment of escapism for the viewer.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Nothing But Thieves 'Is Everybody Going Crazy?' by Remi Laudat

Nothing-But-Thieves-'Is-Everybody-Going-Crazy?'-by-Remi-Laudat

Hugh Rochfort's video for punk-jazz combo&nbsp;Melt Yourself Down is a frenzied and euphoric examination of society's outcasts and their refuges.Though all vastly different, the characters share an internalised claustrophobia, which is brought to light as they're not&nbsp;able to satisfy their natural desires, and their need to belong. They are consciously or unconsciously trying to shield their own spleen from the societal 'Boot'.Colourful and wacky, the video is relentlessly frenetic courtesy of the quickfire edit by Greg Hayes, allowing just enough time to catch your breath before it goes somewhere even wilder than before. The extensive use of closeups helps to portray the feeling of claustrophobia, the unusual camera angles adds to disorienting effect - pretty much perfect for the&nbsp;uncompromising Boot And Spleen.&nbsp;

Melt Yourself Down 'Boot And Spleen' by Hugh Rochfort 

Melt-Yourself-Down-'Boot-And-Spleen-'-by-Hugh-Rochfort-

Ian Pons Jewell presents another grotesque delight. A cocaine bender takes a horrifying left turn in this body horror for Beardyman.In the cold light of morning, a man is locked in a race against his comedown. He’ll do anything for a little dopamine, truffling for more drugs in every corner of his dirty apartment. And when it all catches up with him, he has the mother of all hallucinations. This day of excess is narrated, blow-for-blow, by Joe Rogan - in words borrowed from legendary journalist Hunter S. Thompson. The rabid protagonist is played with tense-jawed, red-eyed enthusiasm by Jack Morris. And the nightmarish VFX, reminiscent of cult channel <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cool3dworld/">Cool 3D World</a>, were supervised by ETC.<a href="https://www.promonews.tv/interviews/questionnaire-ian-pons-jewell/30545">Ian Pons Jewell</a> has a unique flair for affect and world building. He puts you through all the unpleasant sensations his characters experience. The texture of his bizarre worlds is so tangible and specific, it is as if you can actually smell it. His last video, <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2019/09/05/james-massiah-natural-born-killers-ride-me-ian-pons-jewell/60588">Natural Born Killers</a>, was a sweltering, end-of-the-world epic. Watching his evocation of wet, acrid heat, you’ll begin to feel your own sweaty, crawling discomfort.

Beardyman ft Joe Rogan ‘6am (Ready To Write)'

Beardyman - 6am (Ready to Write) (Official Video) ft. Joe Rogan

A collaboration between British director Fiona Jane Burgess and German choreographer Franka Marlene Foth, Versus documents two female dancers moving through the external corridors and open courtyards of the Hofgarten estate in Berlin, a modernist concrete maze.Electronic composer Frank Bretschneider provides a futuristic soundtrack that exploits reversals, glitches and ambient sounds. New York-based cinematographer Htat Lin Htut moves dynamically through the built environment, obscuring and revealing the dancers bodies, which are themselves clad in a muted palette styled by Elizabeth Fraser-Bell, senior fashion editor at Dazed.The choreography is concerned with the process of everyday life as a woman, a dancer, and a creative - impulsive and powerful, but also,&nbsp;at times, sloppy and slow. It&#39;s a study of contrasts: sexy and ugly, heavy and light, strong and soft. It&rsquo;s about trying to find balance and synchronicity. There is a characteristic violence lingering beneath the surface of this startlingly simple and carefully formed new work by this emerging filmmaker.
