The Reids return with their sixth music video for Mura Masa, and once again bring the viewer into the heart of a joyful gathering,&nbsp;courtesy of a riveting device.The video for Hands Up follows on from previous collabs with the Guernsey-born producer, songwriter and DJ, capturing the buzz of a houseparty in full swing. It's authenticity is captured&nbsp;through the&nbsp;intimate details - enabled by tracking the movement&nbsp;of the partygoers' hands.As with directing duo William and Ed Reid's video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2025/09/09/mura-masa-im-really-hot-myself-reids/92495" target="_blank">I'm Really Hot (For Myself)</a> - also on Mura Masa's Curve 1 EP, this was shot on the iPhone 17 Pro. It's undoubtedly&nbsp;a great showcase for the capabilities of the camera - allied to a razorsharp edit by Nik Kohler. But the concept and the unmistakeable&nbsp;party spirit is all down to The Reids - you've got to hand it to them.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;[imgtoken data:2]&nbsp;

Directing brothers The Reids present a fast and furious fever dream for RAYE's supremely catchy first offering from her next album.The video for the infectious Where Is My Husband! is both very RAYE and very Reids, channelling some of the dizzying visual language in <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2024/06/13/raye-genesis-otis-dominique-raye/86792" target="_blank">Genesis</a> -&nbsp;the singer's magnum opus&nbsp;from early last year -&nbsp;with the breathless energy of William and Ed Reid's&nbsp;video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2024/06/26/james-blake-thrown-around-reids/87009" target="_blank">James Blake's Thrown Around</a>.Essentially it's a very enjoyable live action cartoon, dealing with a personal subject - RAYE's continuing singledom -&nbsp;with humour and pizzazz.[imgtoken data:1]The project is announced the way Genesis ends, with the insignia of a classic Warner Bros cartoon,&nbsp;flagging&nbsp;RAYE's new musical direction as Retro Pop, and then dropping her from a black void into a hotel corridor where she sees her ideal man walking away, slightly out of reach. And then she's handed a mic as she's thrust into a Supremes-style girl group.From then on, RAYE is thrown into different scenarios, switching between colour and black and white, and never quite managing to get hold of The Husband she has yet to meet.&nbsp;There's so much going on, it's something that really rewards further viewing - to enjoy the technical feat provided by the directors, and RAYE's outstanding, thoroughly committed&nbsp;performance.&nbsp;

Directing duo The Reids resume their longterm collaboration with producer Mura Masa with a lo-fi exploration of a dancer's self-obsession, captured by her döppelgänger.​The video for I'm Really Hot (For Myself) takes us into the mirror-lined dance studio where a&nbsp;dancer is driven to a frenzy while adoring her own reflection, watched by a girl with a vintage video camera who looks exactly like her.With its immediacy and DIY feel, it's an intriguing&nbsp;addition&nbsp;to an impressive body of work that The Reids have built with Mura Masa over the past couple of years. And it still feels part of a larger theme: how the music transports people to their own special place.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

Sabrina Carpenter ropes in Colman Domingo to co-star in her latest blockbuster - a Rocky Horror Picture Show-inspired romp directed by&nbsp;Bardia Zeinali, and another&nbsp;showcase for Sabrina's considerable comedy actress chops as well for the latest gloriously catchy single from the new album.And it turns out the&nbsp;video for Tears has three endings - at time of publication - as Sabrina finds different ways of getting rid of her nice boyfriend. As says herself (in the first one) Sabrina's&nbsp;giving the people what they want.

The Reids continue their longstanding relationship with&nbsp;Mura Masa with another vibrant celebration of youth and movement, documenting a NYC-based project that revives the joyous act of 'Double-Dutch' skipping.The video for Jump showcases nonprofit Showdem, a group of dancers from the City on a mission to spread joy through movement. They come together to express themselves through the Double Dutch, the activity that first blossomed in the early hip hop era. They also bring their rope skills to the community, inviting the wider public to participate.[imgtoken data:1]Which is exactly what happens in the video, starting with the dancers' turns within the double skipping ropes before the group appear at a shopping mall for a demo and then get some of the onlookers involved.&nbsp;&nbsp;Blending docu-style camerawork with traditional performance visuals, the video is broken up by intimate, candid moments and a celebratory vibe that bleeds through every frame.&nbsp;A feelgood promo which showcases not only the group as a whole, but the charismatic individuals within it. And in that respect it certainly feels of a piece with the previous collabs between Mura Masa and The Reids over the past couple of years.

In our latest Snapshot Q&amp;A, Anonymous Content's recent signings The Reids reflect on a big year in their career, working with Mura Masa and James Blake, the times when things get "a bit gross"... and Fred Dibnah.&nbsp;It’s been an exciting year or so for Will and Ed Reid as the brother-directing team have completed multiple projects for two artists at the forefront of dance and electronic music - Mura Masa and James Blake.Their acclaimed series of promos for Mura Masa have celebrated youth culture and reconnected with the joy of the dancefloor, generated a zeitgeisty buzz and&nbsp;resulting in an UKMVA win last year&nbsp;for their <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2023/04/11/mura-masa-whenever-i-want-reids/81081" target="_blank">Whenever I Want</a> clip. They also directed a documentary about James Blake’s last album and screened it&nbsp;at Tate Modern, and then a riotously funny video for Blake’s recent single <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2024/06/26/james-blake-thrown-around-reids/87009" target="_blank">Thrown Around</a>.The brothers made their directing partnership official in 2021, building their showreel with feature-length documentaries about UK clothing brand Cole Buxton and a handful of interesting music videos, especially for the band Legss. Their recent work brought them to the attention of Anonymous Content and they signed to the London and Amsterdam offices of the international production company in June.So we thought it was a good time for a snappy exchange with The Reids (Will, right, and Ed, pictured above on the set of the latest Mura Masa video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2024/08/13/mura-masa-fly-reids/87738" target="_blank">Fly</a>) - via our brand new Snapshot Q&amp;A...&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Name:&nbsp;The Reids (brothers Will &amp; Ed)Birthday:&nbsp;Both of us were born sometime between 1990 and 2000.&nbsp;Where did you grow up?&nbsp;South East London.&nbsp;Place of further education and course (if any)?&nbsp;Will - Film at AUB (dropped out), Ed - Photography at LCC (didn't drop out)&nbsp;Where do you live now?&nbsp;South East London.

For instance, we got a brief through recently for a series of 4 live videos + cutdowns for an artist to be shot in a day with a budget of £10k. This is unrealistic for everyone to have a good time and get paid well enough to survive and make something they’re proud of creatively. It’s a bit gross.&nbsp;What are you looking forward to most for the summer and/or the rest of the year?&nbsp;Travelling for a while at the end of the year when we’ve earned it.&nbsp;• The Reids are signed to Anonymous Content, watch their showreel <a href="https://www.anonymouscontent.com/work/uk/directors/anonymous-content/the-reids/" target="_blank">here</a>.

Director duo The Reids continue their collaboration with Mura Masa for Fly, taking themes from their previous videos together to the next level.Will and Ed Reid and Mura Masa - aka Alex Crossan - have been exploring and celebrating that heady mix of youth, drugs and dance music through&nbsp;a series of videos, since the marvellous, UKMVA-winning Whenever I Want last year. With FLY, we're drawn into a familiar scenario of a warehouse party, and back among the bodies of the clubbers.This is a more exclusive, well-styled&nbsp;revellers than the varied teen ravers of the previous videos, and this slickly produced affair produces an original moment of euphoria, as one dancer rises above the crowd.Simply yet beautifully done, and a marvellous addition to a series that's adding up to a body of work in itself.&nbsp;

James Blake has a Hellish day trying to make content for a jaded social media audience in the&nbsp;mesmerising promo for Thrown Around, directed by The Reids.&nbsp;Opening with a snappy conversation with a social media guru, who tells the artist he needs to up his content game to stay relevant, we see Blake venture out onto the street to record a half-hearted TikTok video - until his phone gets nicked by a bike-riding assailant.&nbsp;From there, things go from bad to worse, and we get to experience this from a hypnotic Snorricam-style rig built by DoP&nbsp;Fraser Mitchell.&nbsp;Elevated by trippy effects and a heavy dose of surrealism, it's a standout visual that also showcases Blake's acting chops, and a surprising facility for comedy. Someone get this man in touch with Netflix right away.And remarkably, the whole project was turned around in less than a week, as Will and Ed Reid explain.&nbsp;&nbsp;"Thrown Around was by far the maddest project we’ve shot to date - from idea sign off to wrap in 6 days, this one was a beast to wrangle and so much fun," say the brother directing team, who have just signed to Anonymous Content.&nbsp;"We will be proud of this one for a while."It wouldn’t have been possible to do it without James himself being so up for it. He gave us incredible amounts of time, energy and humour - you really see that on camera."Also, utilising a new camera rig - the 3rd Person Snorri - as a narrative device was a really special experience - it feels so hard to shoot something in a way that feels different and fresh these days and we pushed hard to do that here which is perhaps what we’re most proud of." &nbsp;

Oskar Brockbank directs a hauting promo for Etta Marcus's Mechanical Bull.&nbsp;Taking the songtitle as the central idea for the concept, we see Marcus ride&nbsp;atop a mechanical bull, surrounded by a group of spectators.&nbsp;The effervescent black and white aesthetic adds a sense of anachronism to the visual - we don't have context for time or place, instead just a set of visual ideas that amalgamate into a captivating vignette.&nbsp;The use of slow shutter speeds and filmic textures enhances the otherworldly experience, and adds flair to the dreamlike event.&nbsp;

The return of Ashnikko with her "angriest song" also heralds a breathtaking comeback to music videos by Saam Farahmand, creating a clinical pop-horror as deliriously subversive and transgressive as anything he has done before. It’s sick.You Make Me Sick! clocks in at just over two minutes, and in that time Farahmand establishes a scenario worthy of Cronenberg in a slick pop video aesthetic, inviting the viewer into repeated surges of disbelief. What is being piped in tubes between the orifices of Ashnikko and her followers? What is that murky liquid rising up around Ash and her dancers?The artist and director are in perfect harmony in their drive to create art that crosses over the line of good taste, and will generate a good deal of actual disgust, even from those who admire it greatly. It’s a brilliant smashing through into something new and dangerous, an undiluted, confrontational, controversial visualisation of raw pain.“I’ve decided to come back with my angriest, most cathartic song to date,” the singer has said of the new song in an accompanying statement. “My own personal rage room for me to smash my plates.”Saam Farahmand has added: "The video is about discovering toxicity, the purging of toxicity and the defiant audacity of revelry and spectacle within it. I continue to explore the collision between raw, uncomfortable human experience, and the seductive spectacle of pop culture."

New director Sam Aminzadeh has made an auspicious music video directing debut with an delightful video for London singer-songwriter Murkage Dave, shot by the legendary DoP Robbie Ryan.The video for World I Want To Live In expresses the positive message in Murkage Dave's gospel-influenced song, in a studio set-up where a group of disparate individuals come together to express themselves collectively through dance.Dave is the charismatic centre that holds this group together, performing the song which reflects upon the stress that social media can cause, to him and to everyone else. The simple but expressive dance moves of the group - a collaboration&nbsp;of professional dancers and non-professionals - symbolises a common strategy, or therapy, to deal with the stress;&nbsp;finding a route to make that improved world that Dave is talking about.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Aminzadeh has been working as an assistant to some eminent directors over the past few years, including Daniel Wolfe, Kim Gehrig and Grant Singer. With this accomplished debut&nbsp;he shows he has a very promising future as a director&nbsp;himself.
