A man has some painful memories reconfigured in Elliot Simpson's promo for Joel Corry and Becky Hills.&nbsp;In the same faux-utopic vein as previous&nbsp;collabs <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2021/11/11/joel-corry-ft-mabel-i-wish-elliot-simpson/73789">I Wish&nbsp;</a>and <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2021/03/11/joel-corry-x-raye-x-david-guetta-bed-elliot-simpson/69885">Bed</a>, the sci-fi concept in History proposes a world in which memories can be altered and 'put right', via a personal home visit from Joel,&nbsp;Becky and their futuristic arsenal of gadgets.&nbsp;The narrative perfectly blends the borders of surrealism and reality, and gives the artists a chance to flex their acting muscles in addition to some very filmic performance setups.&nbsp;Seamless and slick, the video is equal parts Black Mirror and pop promo, and is a real visual treat.&nbsp;

Beki Mari directs a dazzling live video&nbsp;for Glass Animals' sleeper hit phenomenon Heat Waves, shot at the Dreamland theme park in Margate for the band's recent guest spot on&nbsp;The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon.Glass Animals' frontman Dave Bayley roams the Americana-style park, which is buzzing with light and colour but deserted save from his performing bandmates - which also shares the name with the album (released in 2020) from which this huge hit came.&nbsp;Mari has made extensive use of FPV drone technology&nbsp;to create a dizzying camera moves around Bayley while he performs. It's a very successful conceptualisation of the nostalgic world evoked by the song, and beautifully executed.There is also a tinge of loneliness to the concept, highlighting the absence of crowds and collective fun due to the Covid-19 lockdowns, during which this was filmed - epitomised by the atmospheric shot of Bayley's walking among&nbsp;the huge letters of the Dreamland sign.

The Trash Factory (James Arden)&nbsp;and Dan Smith, lead singer of Bastille, co-direct the promo for No Bad Days - a story of love, loss and the intersection of humanity and technology.&nbsp;As well as co-directing a Bastille video for the first time, Dan Smith plays a scientist who is trying to bring back the essence of his deceased love into the form of a robot - both played by Amber Jean Rowan. She gives a multi-layered performance, cycling through different characters and emotions with ease, while Smith matches this energy with his own seamless performance.&nbsp;Xander Mitchell's art direction elevates the piece to a new level, peppering the space with high-tech screens and gadgets, whilst ensuring the environment is still anchored in some sort of reality.The story, heaped with some familiar sci-fi movie references,&nbsp;also plays powerfully with the theme of the song No Bad Days, as Smith's audacious, ground-breaking experiment&nbsp;promises the end of misery - indeed the end of Death itself...[imgtoken data:1]

Meditating on the purpose of certain spaces and locations we frequent in life, Laurence Warder's video for Dreamland explores a narrative told through contemporary choreography.&nbsp;&nbsp;Set in an empty office space where many people will find themselves trapped in a 9-5 grind, this is the story of a person’s path, how it leads to this moment and knowing oneself to pull away. A contemporary dance delivered in a cinematographic way.A strong performance is elevated through a hypnotic variety of lighting styles and colours, representing the dream world this piece inspires.&nbsp;

New band Milk Teeth clown around in the video for Given Up, directed by Chris Chance.&nbsp;Performing on-stage to an upper-class clientele, who don't appreciate the music in the slightest, the anachronistic mix of vintage clown makeup and wardrobe with a&nbsp;contemporary aesthetic gives this video a timeless feel.&nbsp;The concept gives a nod to iconic&nbsp;rock videos, as the band&nbsp;produce their own take on a classic concept, it's a performance&nbsp;video enhanced by dark humour and strong performances all round.&nbsp;

Jamie-James Medina says the idea&nbsp;behind his video for Rudimental was that &quot;the video is the video&quot;. And&nbsp;indeed, this really is a deconstruction of the whole process of making a video for Scared Of Love.We get the trials and tribulations of pre-production, the email trails (featuring producer Stavvas Stavrou and commissioner Dan Curwin), and Stefflon Don not making the shoot and phoning in her performance...In the meantime, Ray BLK&nbsp;provides the backbone of the performance video, while Medina also investigates our addiction to screens.&nbsp;

Raja Virdi has directed his biggest live session yet, this time for Gavin James at the famous &quot;Beatles Room&quot; in Abbey Road Studios.Virdi captured the performance of Cigarette Break&nbsp;in a three camera multicam format &ndash; straying from his usual one take style &ndash; utilizing Panavision anamorphic zooms for slow push-ins, installing a plethora of tungsten lights, and placing James and his band within a huge circle track.&nbsp;

Ozzie Pullin&#39;s video for Calum Scott chronicles key moments in a life,&nbsp;from boy to young buck to old man - with Calum at the strong centre of everything, wise before his age.It all starts with the boy about to run away - obeying that first urge to get out from under his mother&#39;s wing. And in a very heartfelt way Pullin takes him on a journey through life, but then brings us back to that little boy, and that euphoric moment of arriving back home.&nbsp;

The second video for Kwaye by Billy Boyd Cape&nbsp;reinforces the sense that we&#39;re looking at a very exciting new talent - both an authentic new soul&nbsp;performer and great dancer.There is not much more here than song and dance performance here - the latter choreographed by Aaron Sillis &ndash;&nbsp;in an interesting church-like location, and the director and artist - and his dancer friends - make it compelling.&nbsp;
