We selected this artist because he is the
embodiment of a blank canvas whereby we can
collectively create an image specifically for his first
professional quality video. We also liked the idea of
being able to work with fresh, raw UK produced
talent and in our video we plan to celebrate this by
using iconic London landmarks and locations. The
artist was open to our ideas and anticipated working
on his first official video. He had a range of songs
recorded however we settled for ‘Last Hope’
because as soon as we heard It we had loads of
creative potential concepts buzzing through our
minds.
