In 2013 I had the pleasure of directing a team to film Two Door Cinema Club at the O2 Arena in London . They are playing there for a 2nd time in October and recently I’ve seen some of the footage from that night in 2013 doing the rounds.
At the time it was their last show for nearly 2 years and when they came back it was all about new stuff. As a result this footage just sat on a hard drive in a drawer. I decided to take a look back at it.
I had hired a great photographer called Matt Wicks and told him how I wanted to get something a little different with the coverage and had the idea of producing a tilt-shift piece about the night. We looked at various references and then picked some angles on the day of the shoot. I said cheerio to him before soundcheck and don’t even think I saw him at dinner. He took thousands and thousands of shots.
They were never really used at the time and when I went back into the edit I fell in love all over again. I put together this short film about the night.
