Take a piece of this...

What does about 2grand kiwi get you in art direction and set construction in christchurch NZ if you doing it for love and the challenge ???

this...



2 stories high, 3 days to build/dress and designed to fit a 16 x 9 film frame pretty much exactly with no after effected visual tricknology. The last day of the build of course being a real shitter. Up til 5.30am, due back at 7.30am to open the gates and let the lighting, grip and power trucks in, then finish off dressing the set while they set up...

...needless to say we're still screwing down the chequered floor while the band is rehearsing before the director Richard Bell ( most famous for being half of 'state' with acclaimed director/photographerAnton Corbijn ) says enuff and kicks us out while they get on to the business of shooting the vid. Suits me sir, so i shot off home for a nap and back in time for lunch...

cool bunch of guys they were too, the electric confectionaires
