A couple of weeks ago we sent a pitch to Team Waterpolo to shoot their first video. They asked for colourful, energetic and cool so our pitch, in a nutshell; Film the band in super slow motion, mid air, pulling interesting shapes on a bouncy castle (of course the pitch was more eloquently put than that…and we added pretty pictures). Sony brought us in for a meeting with the band on Thursday. They told us they liked the pitch and would like us to direct it. Done. All set. Let’s do this.

So the ball was in motion and while Factory started booking the space and equipment, we called a friend of ours to see if he was available to help. He listened to the pitch and said “I’m going to tell you something that might upset you…” Turns out he was on the set of a PJ Harvey video that Jake and Dinos Chapman were directing. They were in the middle of shooting PJ in slow motion… on a bouncy castle…

We said we’d have to call him back…

We’re just glad it’s the Chapman brothers and PJ Harvey. At least you know it will be a good video.

If anyone needs us we’ll be at the drawing board.
