Ben Newman

I really like this music video as I think the content involved with the skipping ropes goes really well to the beat of the song. I think the video captures the neighbourhood feel as all the people are gathered together. The video is directed by Ben Newman who has also directed some other videos I am quite fond of for artists such as Wiley, Bombay Bicycle Club and Example.

Here is an example of a video he directed for Example:



This video was nominated at last year’s MVAs in one of the Best Budget Video categories for 2009. His music videos from the past year have shown the promising talent he offers as a director working with music videos.
