Music video
One of the realities of making a short film is that there isn't much money involved - i.e. you don't get paid for your work, certainly not initially. It is a labour of love, or a compulsion at least. The knock-on effect of that is things have to slide a little when the offer of paid work comes along.
To this end Brian (producer on I Love Luci) and myself are making a music video. Again, not a particularly lucrative profession but any little contribution to the coffers is always welcome so this will help while we're getting the script in shape.
We are working with a fantastic young Scottish band from Glasgow - We Are The Physics - on their next single release You Can Do Athletics.
If you like fast punky pop then these guys are for you.
Of course, this has involved a good bit of writing and research to get to the point of commission and I am now about to write a detailed script. Once the script is in order the next steps will be scheduling, budgeting and crewing up for a shoot in the very near future. Exciting stuff and very good fun, if a little on the stressful side as with all film making.
The production company is Sigma Films and the record label is Fake DIY Records. I'd also like to put a little nod towards Gill Mills and iCast for making the introductions.

Wait, Gill Mills-wasn’t she in The Reindeer section too?? I loved them! wow. I will check that iCast thing out too.
Anyway, while I'm not too hip on that song from that group, this should be fun to follow. I've set video to music for year end newswrap pieces before, but I always thought being a music video director involved a special art form itself, so this should be interesting to learn and follow your adventure with this project. I know you’ve made other videos before of course, but is this technically the first video you’ve made for a music group before? Or no? Regardless, very cool, and good on you for this!
