Jelani Blackman "Lockjaw" (Joao Retorta, dir.)

Informed by a line in the chorus - ‘My dons going straight to the topfloor', the video for Jelani Blackman’s ‘Lockjaw’ sees camera moving up a staircase at an undisclosed location, constantly finding Jelani on each flight in a fake one-shot. It’s a technique based concept presented in a very rugged manner. Camera moves hand-held at all times and without a clear sense of horizon at moments, creating a somewhat disorientating and claustrophobic feel as we keep moving up but never really go anywhere. - Joao

Tom Misch "Water Baby" (Georgia Hudson, dir.)

I thought that Water Baby wanted to be something poetic and subtly surreal that gave time to the lyrics and felt like a good flowing piece of liquid like restraint.  The track has a kind of honest simplicity, it also has a proper classic groove to it, so I wanted to go in with some old school, simple, stripped back dancing to match - I saw the video immediately when I heard it, that first shot of a person dancing from a frozen sky, lucidly tripping at moonlight, I’m a sucker for a beautiful image.

Tom Misch "Movie" (Joshua Osborne, dir.)

A beautiful track & video inspired by home movie footage of Tom Misch's grandparents Margriet & Klaus Misch. The footage shows their lives from the couple in love to very hard times in Europe during World War II.

From Joshua Osborne:

"This was definitely a unique experience and process and I thoroughly enjoyed working closely with the whole family to ensure we execute their story in the most respectful way."

Superfood "TV" (Zac Ella, dir.)

Zac Ella, director:

Daydreaming can cause the mind to wander into a series of unexplainable wormholes..just like channel surfing on TV.

One moment you are in one place... the next moment you are in another place... and the next you just have no recollection in where you are or how you got there...and now I'm about to start waffling.

This is a music video for SUPERFOOD's track entitled TV. Viva 4:3!

Superfood "Melting" (Zac Ella, dir.)

Zac Ella, director:

"It's a fun experimental idea that simply compares four different video recording devices and formats.

More specifically 16mm film, Video8, MiniDV and DSLR (CF CARD).

We aimed to do a one shot - filming and playing everything back in real time with SUPERFOOD playing live.

But - we hit a problem with the Bell and Howell (16mm Camera) - it could only record for around 40secs.

We mapped out a floorplan for our team of Camera-Ops to follow and keep in-sync with movements.
