When the gig economy escalates to working with The Grim Reaper, a friendship forms that challenges the commodification of death, in Willem Holzer's entertaining&nbsp;promo for John Robert.&nbsp;Move It To The Side opens with the spooky soul collector himself - played by&nbsp;John E. Bongos - signing in to an app called Dead Drops, ready for another shift. However, he has to make a unscheduled stop, when he knocks down a pedestrian and finds himself with an 'unauthorized soul' - that's&nbsp;John Robert, who then joins The Reaper&nbsp;on his shift throughout the rest of the video.&nbsp;Then we have a classic buddy comedy on our hands, with plenty of sight gags - before things turn rather more serious and poignant in the final act. Holzer excels in the storytelling in his mini-movie - and marshalling a pair of&nbsp;excellent performances from the two&nbsp;Johns, Bongos and&nbsp;Robert.If it was Hollywood, they would be lining up a sequel...

Human decomposition as a thing of beauty and wonder. It’s so profound (and frankly, just a bit icky) that it takes a while to even begin&nbsp;to think how they achieved it.‘They’ being Darren Rabinovitch and the team at Encyclopedia Pictura.&nbsp;It could really only be them, and it’s a masterpiece.&nbsp;

Dan Deacon - Sat By a Tree

Cinematographer Adam Newton-Berra has directed this beautifully&nbsp;shot Wild West love story between a biker girl and a cowboy in this dreamy cover of&nbsp;Tracy Chapman&rsquo;s&nbsp;1988 hit song&nbsp;Fast Car&nbsp;by London-based producer&nbsp;Jonas Blue, featuring vocals by Dakota.&nbsp;Shot near the Salton Sea and Salvation Mountain, it delivers&nbsp;big, sweeping shots of&nbsp;the biker as she races through the desert with the&nbsp;cowboy on her tail, before she crashing down a dune. And after some struggle to run away - she falls in love with the&nbsp;persistent chaser. But the morning after a night together she finds him gone, sequestered back to his normal life as a checkout clerk... until she goes to find him again.&nbsp;

With this video for Caribou&#39;s Can&#39;t Do Without You,&nbsp;Lorenzo Fonda gives evidence to the age-old truism that a simple idea executed well can make for a strong final piece.The video highlights a scope of emotions,&nbsp;fear, acceptance, happiness, longing, and finally,&nbsp;dissapointment, all shot in the dreamiest of super-slomotion sequences.&nbsp;Like a miniature coming-of-age story, the video encompasses all the strong&nbsp;emotions children face and learn from. It&#39;s all part of growing up. But there&#39;s a bit of magic in there too...

More than six years since they created their epic 3D video for Bjork&#39;s Wanderlust - the winner of Video of the Year at the first UK Music Video Awards in 2008 - to be followed by a long haitus from filmmaking, Encyclopedia Pictura are back.&nbsp;The directing collective, known for the&nbsp;extraordinary&nbsp;nature-based surrealism in videos for&nbsp;Grizzly Bear, Seventeen Evergreen and others, have returned to make the video for Metronomy&#39;s The Upsetter, with Daren Rabinovitch at the helm. Daren has also created the astonishing costumes in the video (their making is documented in the BTS film linked below), that sees the creation of one character, a sort of human sloth, to the transformation of the other, as a forest woman starts to incorporate the&nbsp;forest in her body.Essentially this is a&nbsp;love story,&nbsp;about the woman (possibly from&nbsp;civilisation who has been lost in the forest for years and grown a beard)&nbsp;who in her solitude creates a companion&nbsp;of grass and earth on the ground. Then, as her loneliness overcomes her, she brings the grass creature to life.The level of vision and ambition is there, as before, and the physical development of the characters is extraordinary. And Daren&nbsp;Rabinovitch&#39;s direction adds&nbsp;a level of warmth&nbsp;and poignancy to EP&#39;s trademark visionary style and&nbsp;themes. Very good to have them back.&bull; Making of Daren Rabinovitch of Encyclopedia Pictura&#39;s video for Metronomy&#39;s The Upsetter&nbsp;<a href="http://makingtheupsetter.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">here</a>&nbsp;

Ben Dickinson gathers together&nbsp;Yoko Ono, Beastie Boys Mike D and Ad-Rock and Yoko's New York artist friends for the promo to Bad Dancer - a track from Plastic Ono Band's new album Take Me To The Land Of Hell.&nbsp;Conceptually based on the painting Yoko creates at the beginning of the promo, the video, which features some pretty bad dancing, was also inspired by Ono's past works including her 1966 piece Ceiling Painting.
