The Captain America Video.....Video

The Captain America Video.....Video has been live on youtube for a while now, but i must simply tell you about it.




Its been a wee while since we shot it now so my memories are sort of Hazy.

We did principal shooting on a really hot day in June Maybe? I cant remember specifics. Me and Lin went a driving up to East Acton to Director Lulu's beautiful flat where the video was to be set.

Got there kind of early and so the two of us went for a wander and a nice cup of tea in a nicely weird place whilst Lu and Mags finished setting the equipment. I took loads of clothes up with me, my laptop, an amp for playback and some other bits and pieces.

We did a lot of performance shooting initially to capture what was going to be the crux of the video and then moved on to some really fun set pieces. These included Mags and Lindsay hiding in the cupboard and fashioning a method of turning the lamp off from within.

Amazing fun, but i always thought i would be more of a show off when actually tasked to perform, i was really shy instead. i think i started to pick it up though.

We finished off kind of late that night and Lin and i listened to Anat and Jem and the Holograms on the way home.

Work resumed later in the week with an evening shoot to get some darker shots and play with the lighting a bit more.

Lu had a really impressive set up. The lights were amazing and i think have turned out triumphantly in the finished video. This shoot was a lot easier in that i found it much easier to perform. In fact i think this is where we got the best bits of the video.

Marvellous fun during a sequence where i am wrestling with the tape on the bed, i fell back mid wrestle slamming the back of my head on the wall, but carried on as you do. I had to stop when we got to the climbing out the window bit because i was a bit woozy.

Anyway, i have better stories thn this somewhere and i shall write more thoroughly soon, but in the meantime, i think you should go and have a wee look if you havent already.

Get it here : LOOK!

more soon.

best again.
