CASE STUDY: FLASH TOUR - 4 GIGS, 4 LOCATIONS, 1 DAY

DR MARTENS HONEYBLOOD FLASH TOUR

We had a great time working with the girls from Honeyblood as they did a Flash Tour of London. The video was for the Dr Martens #standforsomething campaign and was curated by our good friends at Pd3 London.

CONSTRAINTS AND CHALLENGES

The original plan was to shoot 6 gigs in 1 day, but the band's flight from Glasgow was horribly delayed, meaning they’d be with us 5 hours later than expected. Unfortunately, this meant that we had to cancel 2 of the gigs to ensure we could still wrap at the agreed time of 7.30pm, as the band had to catch another flight immediately after. Despite this initial setback, the rest of the day went really well. 

METHOD 

We shot this video with 2 A7S’s. Knowing they struggle with poor battery life, we planned ahead with spare batteries and a few charging stations in our splitter van.

CONCLUSION

We were on a tight schedule with this, as we were required to complete the edit 15 hours after the shoot took place, but a few power naps, black coffees and bananas later and we’d completed the first cut.
