I was asked to produce and direct The Paris Riots first music video.
From filming to finished edit was 12 hours. Its was done on a very small budget but we were pleased with the results even if we were a bit rushed! The idea was to get it to In The City Music convention where I manage the conference side of things. It was completed the day before it began. Many industry bods saw the video in time and The Paris Riots were on the radar!
15 takes and 2 HDVcams (Z1 + Z7). We used a Sony A1 camera to the side of the stage but it didn't work with the feel of the finished piece so missed the final cut.

It was filmed at Blueprint Studios in Salford for Queen Street Records. My Red Button Films colleague Tighe was on cameras.
