Few fairground machines hold the allure of the Zoltar cabinet from seminal 80's movie Big. Aside from it's deliciously sinister appearance and simple 'drop coin in mouth' mechanic, the wish-maker also turned a teen into Tom Hanks, so you can see the appeal.
It's this familiar iconography that forms the basis for director John Nolan's cheeky tribute promo/short for Ian Brown's From Chaos To Harmony. Following a streetwise lad (played nicely by A Quiet Place's Noah Jupe) as he bustles through the bright lights of the fair, the film really kicks into gear when he stumbles upon a Zoltar-alike box in a dark corner and inserts a mysterious coin...
Utilising Nolan's obvious talent with animatronics - the perfectly puppeteered Brown bust is a real treat - and also featuring Daniel "To the trees!" Peacock as the suspicious fairground owner, this lovingly crafted music video is a Big hit.
