Music videos have often been dismissed as having 'video game visuals' when presented with flashy colours and uncanny action, but in the new promo for Stormzy's track Rainfall, the game-engine graphics enhance an urban aesthetic.
Utilising the impressively-realised London of Ubisoft's Watch Dogs: Legion game to its advantage, this steadily impressive promo actually revolves around Big Mike's delivery rather than the laser blasts and high-octane combat you might expect, and is all the better for it.
Instead, some incredible performance capture, coupled with the aforementioned virtual-London, presents a eerily realistic production which feels quiticentially British.
