Chris Turner - aka Favourite Colour: Black - joins forces with Studio Job to create this witty, visually inventive promo for Mika's sensual lament, Apocalypse Calypso.The exuberant promo balances Mika’s exuberant performance with the remarkable creations of Job Smeets, Netherlands-based atelier of conceptual art, at his studio in Tilburg. They come together in a series of playful vignettes where the singer himself becomes part of the studio’s art. It's a tour de force of creative collaboration - which also features cameos from Job Smeets and wife Sharkey - and elevates the mercurial Mika's music to a new level."I was given access to a huge selection of beautifully strange artworks to use however I liked," explains Turner."The solid bronze couch - so heavy it needed a forklift to move it - is a sculptural representation of the late designer Jan des Bouvrie’s iconic Cubic sofa; the imposing sculpted angel wing piano created especially for Mika; a glittering globe, hand-crafted from half a million coloured Swarovski crystals. Pumpkin lamps with hand-blown googly eyes; Giant bronze magnifying glasses."We even got to cover Mika head-to-toe with Job’s trademark papier mâché finish. Combine these with Mika’s inimitable style - check out the suit made from 6000 custom-made mirror tiles - and you have a wonderful set of ingredients to work with."

Callum Lloyd-James directs a lively, graphic-centric promo in his third video for Scottish indie outfit Vistas.Inspired by the geometric, playful vibe of the group's artwork, the video places the boys in a busy composited environment, sliding and rotating through an endless stream of shapes and designs. It's a change of pace from Lloyd-James' previous videos for Vistas, but very much aligned with the experimentation present in his most recent work."The artwork for Vistas new album is so distinct, all based around geometric shapes and cartoon characters, and I wanted to place the band in that world and bring it to life," explains Lloyd-James."It was the first time I'd shot an entire video on green-screen, so it presented some interesting challenges. But I am really happy with the way it's all come out."Shout out to Alajandra López Martín who animated this video. She really smashed it out the park."
