's "Believe
".
's first Parlophone
release Mansize Rooster
. Parlophone's then video commissioner Dilly Gent introduced dom&nic to music video production company Oil Factory, initially for the purposes of producing this one off video. Following the video's success Oil Factory began representing dom&nic for music video work and it was here they met John Madsen their long term producer and third member of the team. They began making videos for a number of bands associated with the Brit Pop movement including The Bluetones
, Sleeper
and Lush
. In July 1995 their video for Supergrass's Alright was released. Filmed in Portmeirion
Wales it was a tongue in cheek romp, mixing the band's British sense of humour with cult 1960's TV show influences such as The Monkees
and The Prisoner
. The video was parodied by Spitting Image
the satirical television comedy show, which placed Labour Party politicians Tony Blair
, John Prescott
and Margaret Beckett
on Raleigh Chopper
bikes with Prescot singing "shut my mouth...zip it tight...while e talks shite". The Alright video caught the attention of film director and producer Stephen Speilberg who met with dom&nic and Supergrass to discuss making a pilot for a TV show with the band. Supergrass subsequently decided they wanted to concentrate on songwriting and declined to go ahead with the project. They continued to work with Supergrass making a total of 13 videos over the band's career, receiving a Brit Award nomination in 1998 for Best Music Video for Late in the Day
.
In 1996 they began another long standing working relationship with British electronic music duo The Chemical Brothers
, making the video for Setting Sun
the first single from their Dig Your Own Hole
album. The track featured vocals from Noel Gallagher
who was not available to appear in the video. Dom&nic's subsequent film was atypical of other dance music videos of the time. Taking the form of a narrative film which payed reverent attention to the music, it moved away from more abstract trends in the genre. The Setting Sun video "Spies rave culture's flip from underground to overground through the eyes of a bewildered teenage girl" as it follows her nightmarish out of body experience at an all night free party. It mixes unsettling psychological confusion with moments of humorous imagery, for example the terrified girl sees break dancing policemen. Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons played a cameo role as themselves leaving the party with their record cases. The cameo has become a tradition which continues in many of the Chemical Brothers's videos to date. Setting Sun received a number of award nominations including the MTV Breakthrough Video Award. When MTV announced a format shift away from alternative rock to electronica they cited the Setting Sun video as an inspiration. Dom&nic continued the narrative format for The Chemical Brothers with follow up videos for Block Rockin' Beats
(1997) (nominated for the Brit Awards Best Music Video and the MTV Awards Best Dance Video), Hey Boy Hey Girl
(1999) and The Test
featuring vocals from The Verve
's Richard Ashcroft
(2002). In 2006 their video for Believe
(released 2005) a track featuring vocals by Bloc Party
's Kele Okereke
won Best Music Video in both MTV Europe's Awards and the CAD's Music video awards. The video follows the psychological break down of a young car factory worker who believes he is being pursued by a welding robot from the factory. Dom&nic worked with visual effects company Framestore to bring the welding robot to life. In 2007 they worked with Framestore again to create an enormous cast of singing and dancing fish for the Chemical Brothers single The Salmon Dance
featuring Vocals by Pharcyde rapper Fatlip
. The Salmon Dance was nominated for MTV Europe's 2007 Video Star Award (which replaced the previous years' Best Video category). Dom&nic's most recent video for The Chemical Brothers is Midnight Madness
, a choreographed dance piece that follows the realtime journey of a mischievous goblin-masked dancer. The gold sequinned goblin emerges from an industrial bin behind the London Astoria Theatre, climbs over a rooftop, breaks into the theatre and dances on stage before returning to the bin as the track finishes. Midnight Madness was nominated for best Dance Video at the 2008 UK Music Video Awards.
The directors have also collaborated twice with UK Dance music act Faithless
making videos for We Come 1
(2001) and Mass Destruction
(2004). Other music video work includes Oasis
's Do You Know What I Mean (1997) nominated for Brit Awards Best Group Video, Smashing Pumpkins Ava Adore
