Last Night In Paris "Pure" (Karim Huu Do, dir.)

"This more than just a minor hobby. In fact, this is a life. In fact, this is a family."

And this is more than a music video: It's a devilishly clever set-up that lulls you down a gritty, yet strangely dreamlike street thuggery, before hitting the country where we realize that we're getting sky high with one hell of a drug. And then, SNAP, we're back again, as the lines between filmmaker and actor, particpant and viewer, fantasy and reality, gravity and sanity.

Florence + The Machine "What Kind Of Man" (Vince Haycock, dir.) [NSFW]

I don't want to spoil this one for you. And I don't say that as way to get around having to explain this complex exploration of love, distrust, tragedy and rebirth.

Let's just say Florence Welch and director Vince Haycock know that in order to shock, you have to be honest and fearless. And this video is both of those, and a whole lot more.

The Videostatic Interview: Emil Nava, director

It may seem like director Emil Nava came out of nowhere in 2014 with a prodigious output of creative videos for the likes of Ed Sheeran and Calvin Harris. But, it's the culmination of many years as an AD and then a director in the UK — in addition to the fact that filmmaking is in his blood with his entire family in the film industry, including brother Jake Nava, who is also a music video director. 

We recently caught up with Emil to chat about his transition to the US market, and what was inarguably a smashing year for him, by both creative and commercial standards with Nava nabbing an MTV VMA for Best Male Video via Ed Sheeran "Sing," while also getting two Brit Award Best Video nods for Ed Sheeran "Thinking Out Loud" and Calvin Harris "Summer".
