After a successful first collaboration, Callum Lloyd-James teams up with Crawlers for a second time with an effervescent promo for Kiss Me.The video centres around an epic party,&nbsp;fizzing with the excitement of a new romance. Rightfully unashamed in its celebration of queerness, the video rolls back the tape of a first kiss amidst the party chaos.“I wanted to make it feel raw and exciting, capturing the moment where two people meet each other for the first time and every little detail about them is exciting," says Lloyd-James.&nbsp;"The way they smell, a mole on the back of their neck, finding your rhythm with each other and just letting your inhibitions go.”[imgtoken data:1] A raucous house party comes back in vivid, glossy, reversed snapshots and flashbulb moments, masterfully shot by Director of Photography Carmen Pellon. “The party footage was inspired by early 2010s Tumblr culture," adds Lloyd-James.&nbsp;"I wanted to try and create the feel of disposable flash photography in a moving image, giving the film an edge of nostalgia.” Amongst the party shots are pensive, quieter shots of the band the morning after the night before - bathed in that unmistakable, cold, gut-wrenching daylight that brings the impending reality of the next day.[imgtoken data:2]"I wanted this film to feel like you were retracing your steps through what happened at a party the night before, capturing the flickering memories that you piece together the next day.” Mission accomplished, as anyone watching will certainly be pulled back into snapshot memories of past dancefloors, wild parties, and memorable first kisses.&nbsp;

Crawlers 'Kiss Me' by Callum Lloyd-James

Crawlers-'Kiss-Me'-by-Callum-Lloyd-james

Lots of people have thought about who’ll be in attendance at their final farewell - old loves, or even worst enemies - and felt the existential quandary that comes with realising that (depending on your beliefs) there’s no way you can be there to experience it.But what if you could? Callum Lloyd-James's video for Liverpool rock outfit Crawlers answers that very question.In this darkly&nbsp;comic promo for the band's Would You Come To My Funeral?, a funeral descends into chaos, terror and excitement, when the deceased returns to life to settle some scores.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]“The track and video focus on the concept of whether you’d go to the funeral of an ex-lover, someone you’d once been so close to but now hate, and if you did go how would they react,” explains Lloyd-James.“Once we had that idea nailed down it was such a fun world to explore, looking at the emotional dilemmas of each character, developing the action and how the crowd react to it.“Ultimately though, this was all a big excuse to have a massive punch up in a church, which you don’t get to do every day.”

Crawlers 'Would You Come To My Funeral?' by Callum Lloyd-James

Directing duo Mathy &amp; Fran return to music videos with a very characteristic piece for Georgia's latest pop gem: sensitive, humane and pastel-hued. And it touches on a subject that many&nbsp;people have faced, literally and metaphorically.&nbsp;In the video for Give It Up For Love, a range of characters take turns to stand upon a high diving board, and are challenged to make an all-important leap.It's a relatable moment where personal courage is required, but given a metaphorical&nbsp;element by it's staging, on a bright yellow platform against a pastel-pink studio background. And when the characters start to leap, they are captured in mid-air, in a state of blissful freedom.It's a simple yet powerful concept to match the sentiment at the heart of the song - letting yourself go to allow love to come in.&nbsp;Georgia's empathetic performance helps tie the whole project together.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

The Trash Factory AKA James Arden directs a charming throwback to 80s television, in his video for Inhaler.&nbsp;The video for Love Will Get You There sees the group frolic through several late-night concepts, from The Late Late Show to a gunge-tastic gameshow.&nbsp;Packed full of personality and little easter egg throwbacks, it's an upbeat vision for an instantly catchy track - with plenty of playfighting and faux drama to create some conflict.&nbsp;"We shot this entirely on 40-year-old broadcast cameras that I’m honestly shocked we were able to get our hands on," Arden says. "I wanted to recreate the feeling of a world when terrestrial television ruled the airwaves and you could spend an evening skipping between channels."Visually, I was inspired by 1980s late-night talk shows, like Gay Byrne’s in Ireland, tacky game shows I used to watch after school and, of course, performances on The Old Grey Whistle Test and Top of the Pops."The best memories were always when things got a bit out of control live on air… this promo is about those infamous chaotic moments."

The Trash Factory - aka James Arden - buries White Lies singer Harry McVeigh&nbsp;in sand, in the promo for As I Try Not To Fall.Sitting in the middle of a custom-made room, we see the artist surrounded by off-kilter decor and furniture, whilst a steady stream of sand pours onto his head.Against the clock, Veigh&nbsp;initially seems to accept his fate, embracing the situation he finds himself in, before taking back control and rising above the mountain he was trapped by.Immediately arresting and striking to watch, Arden experiments with various references and iconography, whilst using a metaphorical ticking clock to up the ante throughout.[imgtoken data:1]

Vasilisa Forbes directs a yearning promo for Phoebe Green.&nbsp;In the video for So Grown Up, Phoebe and her best friend Izzy relive poignant teenage nostalgia as they navigate the streets of their childhood home, Blackpool, re-enacting moments from their youth.The tender and mature lyrics reflect on their experience of unsavoury romance, hurt, the pain of reality, and the desire to remain child-like indefinitely. The&nbsp;bittersweet glow of&nbsp;wistfulness is met with a ‘coming-of-age’ narrative and the brutalist, coastal arcade mania of Blackpool.The hazy cinematography perfectly encapsulates the dreamlike nature of the concept, whilst the contrasting colour palettes - between the vibrant styling and grey, destaurated surroundings - heighten the dichotomy.&nbsp;

Vasilisa Forbes explores overconsumption and excess in her satirical promo for retro power-popsters Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard.&nbsp;If you've never seen a singer&nbsp;force-fed junk food whilst being pinned down by sugary snacks, buckle up, you're in for a treat.&nbsp;Drowning in this sea of garbage and waste, we see the alternative indie group in a series of vibrant vignettes, shot in a mesmerisingly surreal fashion - with plenty of wide-angle lenses and awkward angles to elevate this effect.&nbsp;Forbes plays on the themes of the track by creating a literal world that echoes the issues staring us dead in the face, and does so in a tongue-in-cheek yet lamenting manner.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;
