Director: Kate Haplin Artist:   Mark Wilkinson Video: Come on home How were you approached for the job? I work as an art director on the side and had done the production design and costume design on Mark’s last music video ‘Another Necklace’. So after that project I was offered the opportunity to pitch for his next two music videos. What inspired you on your idea for the video? The idea actually came to me straight away and was very loosely based on the first short film I wrote and directed while at film school. It also dealt with an elderly man losing his wife and going into a state of shock and denial (however I did replace a blow up doll with a dance hall full of spandex attired ‘senior citizens’) – so they’re pretty different. I was conscious from the outset that I wanted to avoid a clichéd break-up premise, as I think it would have felt overly sentimental.

David Wilson is a London-based artist and music video director. Coming from an illustration background, David first started getting recognition for his work with his masterful music video for Moray McLaren’s “We Got Time” in which he was able to achieve live in-camera animation combined with live action via the renaissance of an old animation devise called a Praxiniscope. Since then he’s developed his music video directorial skills in ever-shifting ways; creating eerie face-paint animations for We Have Band, a biblical epic of a music video for Dupstep pioneer Skream, and most recently an ultra-glamorous take on the Devonshire town of Torquay for Metronomy. In 2009 he picked up the much coveted title of “Best New Director” at the UK Music Video Awards. Along with directing, David also regularly VJs with his home-made visuals at clubs and music festivals. www.davidwilsoncreative.com Video: The Bay by Metronomy Q.

Director: Jack Shepherd Artist: Lime Cordiale Video: Money How were you approached for the job? I've actually been best friends with the Lime boys for a few years now. This is the 4th music video I've shot for the band.  When they first approached me I told them I wasn't able to make it work within the time frame as I was going to be in the USA for the month leading up to the release.  After I told them my return date, they pushed back the release 1 week, bought me a beer at the pub and told me I now had no excuse. I was in!  What inspired your ideas? When they told me the name of the track and I first listened to it, there was no way I could avoid the topic of money or wealth.  I didn't want to make something that was too related to the lyrics, but I knew the boys wanted to be in it, and for it to have the same kooky vibe as clips like 'Naturally'.  I wanted it to have a more serious tone than 'Naturally'...
