Jim Wilmot finds an excellent way to tug at the heartstrings for Lewis Capaldi's tearjerker - filmed at Terminal 5 at Heathrow Airport. This sees Capaldi setting up to do an acoustic solo performance of new hit Wish You The Best in the Arrivals section at the Terminal, watched by a surprised group of expectant friends and family who are waiting to be reunited with loved ones. Cue a rollercoaster of emotions that we have all experienced when seeing our families after an extended period of time, captured in a very affecting way. With both docu-style footage of the reunions and a more posed portrait for the camera, it's simple yet impactful concept, executed to perfection. And it is destined to bring a lump to the throat - just as the official video for Wish You The Best does.
