A collaboration between West London rapper/producer MWS, Paul Weller and The Goldborns, the video is a promotional vehicle for Bella Pepper Hot Sauce, created by Josh Leckie in Portobello Road, West London.A brilliantly tongue-in-cheek video with plenty of comedy moments, it works seamlessly as a branded content / music video hybrid.

Billy Howard Price and Jacek Zmarz co-direct a playfully haunting promo for rock band Creeper - with buckets of blood. Inspired by gothic visuals and vampire films, the video for explores the narrative of main character Mercy, an innocent yet violent girl who is revealed to be not quite what she seems."We knew from the start of this project that we’d be telling a gory vampire story; that had been the only real brief from the band going into it," directors Billy & Jacek mention. "The main challenge as we approached the shoot was finding a way of making such a story fit into the remits of our respective visual realms without it feeling too silly or pastiche."Switching between bloody set-pieces and evocative character vignettes, the video is seamlessly blended by an eccentric core performance. "Time has always felt like the central tenet of the Dracula story and of vampire movies as a whole; how do love, hunger and isolation playout over hundreds and hundreds of lonely years if you’re a Nosferatu, a creature of the night or one of the undead?" they continue. "The main conclusion we arrived at thinking about these themes was that it must ultimately be quite boring to be a vampire. So, our chief concern shooting this video became contrasting the grandiose, Gothic imagery of classic vampire movies with a more banal, dry domesticity. A bored teenager at home daydreaming about drinking blood; Harold & Maude meets The Hunger."This was a particularly fun one to make as we got to reference a lot of the movies we’d grown up watching on repeat, when we ourselves were very bored, but sadly very much mortal teenagers."

Following his cinematic video for Gasoline, Adrian Villagomez reunites with genre-bending producer Apashe (aka John de Buck) for a new, wonderfully imaginative and nailbiting visual, that utterly reflects the name of the track.The visual for Revenge Of The Orchestra features Apashe sitting in a smoke-filled room, surrounded by the broken remains of a brass orchestra before the instruments come to life, congeal together and transform into a series of creatures - and finally a huge, terrifying monster.Then the chase is on... and an unlikely yet pulsating action sequence develops, executed with terrific visual flair. Will Apashe pay for his dismissive behaviour towards his old orchestra? His fate is observed throughout by the God-like presence of Magugu - the Nigerian singer who guest vocals on the track - who appears to be directing the action. As well as Villagomez demonstrating another string to his directing bow, incorporating live action with 3D animation with consummate skill, a lot of credit goes to VFX supervisor and 3D artist Josué Zabeau for this achievement. He, Villagomez and John De Buck worked together on developing the concept. The outcome is a genuine thrill.

Sophia & Suzie explore an emotional journey of young love, in their video for Nick Wilson. In the video for For You It Was Him, we see two young girls hanging out in the forest, enjoying each other's company under the late summer sun. As their relationship develops, feelings start to intensify in a complex, unbalanced way, and this creates a rift in their friendship. The liminality of youth takes central focus here, as the pair try to learn who they are in the context of their friendship and society at large, and this imperceptible set of emotions is explored in a nuanced, gentle way.With a beautifully cinematic aesthetic and sense of realism throughout, it's a visual that pulls at the heartstrings and leaves the ending open, to reflect the uncertainty of this time of life.

Directing duo the Giraffe Sisters present a lovely day in the neighbourhood for the sweet retro-soul of the Austin, TX-based band Black Pumas.For More Than A Love Song, Juliana and Nicky Giraffe - directing sisters and also professional mimes - play wholeheartedly into an uplifting set-up: it's a sunny day, and lead singer Eric Burton reflects on the small yet worthwhile things of life, as kids play and his mum and dad do chores around the house.

Mark Lediard directs a love letter to the North East, in his promo for Of Mice And Men's Castaway. Featuring up and coming actor Bridget Marumo - also from the North East - the video follows her character as she explores locations around Newcastle city centre and County Durham. Featuring a flair of VFX performance, through animated artwork on various walls, the video has a particular focus on brutalist architecture and it's place within the overall environment. “I’ve always been inspired by the brutalist architecture we have in the North East," Lediard says."It's striking lines and shapes have a unique look that may not be to everyone’s taste, but I find it really visually interesting. This video was a perfect opportunity to feature these unique locations and show them off to the world”.

Paul Johnson directs a thought-provoking promo for Royal Blood.The video for Pull Me Through sees a middle-aged everyman sat in the driver's seat of a car, unable to move as it fills with water. A cast of characters start to surround the vehicle, looking on judgementally as the driver struggles to make any move at all, eventually sinking into the abyss. It's a video with a strong mental health subtext, and perfectly visualises the anxiety and fear that can come with everyday life. The textural, square ratio format also harks back to videos of the late 90's, and the aesthetic perfectly fits this thematic choice - the video is far from crisp, glossy HD, and this adds to the haunting quality of the video.
