This black and white video for Doll and the Kicks was my first attempt at playing director. The brief was to create a performance piece to establish the band as it was their first video too. I wanted to keep it simple where each member is revealed one by one with an introduction from Hannah, and at the end they would play out the rest of the track together. I did not account for things going wrong the evening of the shoot, but it wasn’t too bad. There was just a location change a bit of abuse from nosy neighbors and standing around in sub zero temperatures for what felt like an eternity! Considering the freezing cold the band held it together, even at the end shot Hannah had turned a shade of pale blue and could hardly move her lips but she pulled it of. I thought the band looked great. It was defiantly quite a frightening but exciting experience.

This video was my second job for Nothing To See Here. I was asked to be assistant Director which was a big jump for me, only having  been on set once before as production assistant. My role involved finding some of these weird and wonderful people and creating some kind of order throughout the day. It was quite a daunting experience having a sardine packed room full of performers - a magician - stilt walkers - burlesque dancers - pole dancers - a masseuse - transvestites - two reckless actors (Dom and Seb) - quality portraits - and a girl very keen to get her bits out.  The day was hilarious, I still laugh to myself when I hear people think that the set up is real!? Steve did this on a budget of nothing and it was knocked by some industry types for wasting 10,000 as it says in the video, ha!
