We talk to Eoin Glaister about the past ten years of directing music videos and making people laugh. Eoin’s credits include brilliant promos for Joji, Beirut, Glass Animals, Aquilo, Kele Okereke, Mentis, and his new one for La Priest - where a woman falls in love with a fatberg. We find out how he gravitated towards comedy, how he developed a knack for making trilogies - and why he thinks that a dog is a director’s best friend.

In this episode we talk music videos - and comedy - with Kasper Häggström, the Norwegian director who has made wonderful promos in his signature comic style for Kelly Lee Owens, Flyte and now Radiohead. Kasper talks about the joy of working with heavyweight actor Michael Sheen for Kelly Lee Owens, the rigorous creative process that led him to Radiohead, and reveals his all-time favourite video.
In this episode we talk music videos with cinematographer Rik Burnell, who has been responsible for outstanding work for the likes of Willie J Healey, Dry Cleaning and Samm Henshaw. He tells us about the work he’s been doing over the past couple of years, his unconventional route to becoming a cinematographer - and not being that interested in cameras.
