We arranged a special cinema screening of ‘Can I Keep You?’, and invited Nikki’s family and friends along, as well as any extras who featured in the music video. If you’d like a cinema screening of any future clips we make for you, this can be easily arranged.

Vox-pops were used throughout the piece to help maximise the information delivered to the viewer.

Below is the final clip, and also a few behind-the-scenes photos of us filming:

Carl Barât (ex-Libertines) proved he was ‘Obsessed With Sound’ (a campaign run by Philips) at an exclusive, invite-only gig in London on the 22nd July, and we were there to help with the filming.

The McLaren MP4-12C was up against the Ferrari 458, Lamborghini Performante, Mercedes SLS, Audi R8 and Porsche 911, and we were there to film it all.

A whet-your-appetite trailer was required, as well as an extended main clip … and in the first week of being on youtube, they gained over 45,000 views between them!

As a person, she is spontaneous, fun, and creative - and this translates into her amazing portfolio of work too.

So, what an honour it was to film not 1, but 2 promos for her.

Infact we had their very first prototype! So what a pleasure it was to be able to be the first to showcase their new Hybrid product.

A rather unique and twisted editing style was used … take a look!

So if you need a completely unique product promo, or corporate film / corporate video, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

We used crane shots, talking heads and dolly track shots, to give it a suitably professional look:

The films each showcase the training during the wedding photography courses and academy sessions, between tutors and students:

And what a brilliant awards night! Presented by Andrew Lancel from ‘The Bill’ (and more), awards were given out to companies who had made the shortlist nominations in several categories.
Well we were proud enough to have been awarded 3rd place in the Corporate category, for our ‘Cinematic Wedding Showreel’. See here for the IOV press release and here for the complete list of winners (with photos).

Thanks to IOV and all who were involved in running the show!

Infact, we think it’ll only be a short matter of time before they are signed up!

As they admitted, what they’d always lacked was a music video to accompany their fantastic audio.  So that’s where we came in.

We filmed them performing ‘Tunnels’, their new single, in both rehearsal studio and in a live environment. In just a few days, it has gone down a treat on MySpace, Facebook, YouTube and Vimeo, and it’s also been mentioned by BBC Oxford during a recent interview with the band, and online by MusicInOxford, see here.

So, check their first official music video out:  Black Hats - ‘Tunnels’.
