Harry Barber directs an eery and enigmatic promo for producer-collaborators Bastian Benjamin, Alberta Balsam &amp;&nbsp;French II.The video for The Worm tells a warped night tale, following a man wielding a hammer running toward a mysterious glass box in the forest, bearing the familiar instruction: In Case Of Emergency Break Glass.&nbsp;It's an emergency so he does, unleashing the eponymous Worm into the nighttime forest.Infused with dynamic visual effects, the video is a breathless descent into an uncanny world - beautifully realised in Toby&nbsp;Goodger's cinematography and&nbsp; Brent Patterson's VFX and animation, with&nbsp;the whole video stained a blueish grey in the abysslike night."The Worm is a twisted, kinetic club tool built for those late moments in the dance," Barber explains. "It straddles a beautiful middle ground between dark, eerie tones, and all out fun. The video was all about capturing that, luring people in, and flipping everything on its head."&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;[imgtoken data:2]

Gregg Houston directs a punchy performance&nbsp;promo for Wunderhorse.&nbsp;Shot in an empty office building, the video focuses solely on performance, without frills or superfluous additions - and that's what makes it so spectacular.&nbsp;Imbuing the visual with a sense of high-energy vigour, the band are completely absorbing from every angle, and the gritty textures of the 16mm film lends a rawness and intimacy to the concept.&nbsp;"These guys are earning a reputation for intense live shows and so for this music video we kept things very simple and let them do their thing," Houston says.&nbsp;"We found a pleasing location and got as much 16mm film as we could afford. What else do you need! With roughly one take per angle, the gentlemen gave it their all from the first moment. This is the director's cut so we were allowed to indulge ourselves with some 6fps footage and other flashes that took our interest."

Phoebe Green creates a Monster she can spend time with, in Niall Trask's Frankenstein-inspired promo for Just A Game.&nbsp;The chromatic video blends live-action and animation to create a playfully nostalgic aesthetic, which follows Green as the creator - and then partner - of the cute Monster (Astile Doherty)&nbsp;she brings to life.[imgtoken data:1]Lo-fi and campy, the video doesn't take itself too seriously, instead focusing on the surrealism in the performances and the idea.&nbsp;A colour palette of neon greens and oranges, as well as a prism-style effect overlaid on the footage, elevates the video, standing out amongst other similar ideas.&nbsp;It's also a real departure into indie-pop, and a chance to explore a more light-hearted style than previously for Niall Trask - although it also shares a certain ghoulish sensibility with his recent video for Jamie T.&nbsp;
