Aphrodisiac Music Promo Shoot - Day 1.

It's been quite a week here at Hi-Gloss Towers. Over an intense two days, we shot the music video for DJ Ivan Roudyk's new single 'Aphrodisiac'. Day 1 took place at a fabulous, completely white town house in North London and featured two incredibly beautiful models, gallons of milk and a ton of feathers!
Save for a blown bulb or two and one major problem with the jib, the day went very well and we got the shots we needed. We managed to follow the shot list and story board very closely though due to time constraints were unable to film a living room set dance scene and a scene involving a 100 fps hair dryer...
Having flown in from Russia to take part in the video, Ivan's principal scenes were shot during Day 2 which took place at a large white studio in Islington. We also shot a few pick ups (involving feathers and lace underwear - see below) and all of singer Shena's scenes. More pictures and details of day 2 to follow shortly...

The case of Sara and the exceedingly loud bird.

Well, we had a barrel of laughs yesterday whilst working with the delightful Radio 1 presenter Sara Cox. We were filming for a campaign (for a very famous brand of cheese), tucked away in a beautiful suburban pocket of clapham that somehow managed to transform in to a rather noisy place in which to film, the main culpret being a bird with a clear desire to make it as a a TV presenter. Twice on the call of "Action!" did our feathered friend immediately begin whistling as loud as possible, drowning out Sara's voice and causing us all to corpse in to laughter.

At this early stage, we can't go in to any detail regarding the project but suffice to say, shoot day 1 was great fun (aside from the numerous airplanes, sirens, quarreling squirals (yep!) and various DIY sounds hindering our progress). This, however was probably very good training considering our next shoot for this project will involve a gang of kids!
