Well, we've been filming all week & what a long week it's been. One long day spent at AUCB in the studios, filming for the Vampires lair. Plenty of dark shadows, candle-light & close up shots of the gorgeous costumes and make-up. Followed by a sweltering day of filming on the beach.
Attempting to sprint across sand, in an unbelievably tight corset, holding an umbrella, in 25 degrees heat, whilst attempting not to trip over the trailing dresses & capes of fellow Vamps is probably one of the hardest things I've done. But also one of the most enjoyable.
The experiences I've gained on this project have been unreal. A first year costume student, with a fully fledged music video under my belt is an impressive claim to fame. Getting the chance to liase with make-up artists (and get the makeup done on myself), being a dresser, and hanging around on the film set being a runner and sorting things out for the actors was an impressive experience and I definitely want more.
Here's a few sneak-peak offset shots from the beach filming day. The amount of locals that wanted pictures with the hoard of 50 vamps was amazing. I guess it was an odd sight for the Bournemouth coastline.
Rocking it in the grey wig in the corner. Apparently I was the Gaga Vamp.
Dark circular shades & umbrella's gave our 18th Century style costumes a modern twist. Comments were that we looked a little 'Dark Shadows', the new Johnny Depp film. Although we did get mistaken for either a hen-do or a recreation of the Spanish Armada...
The story-line to this music video is epic. Should be edited and up & running by September. So I'll keep you posted!
