The Learn to Breathe Video

Making videos is fun. Tiring, cold and a little odd but fun.
To prepare for 8 hours of filming the band quite responsibly stayed up late drinking the night before, then proceeded to sleep on the front room floor of the videos location. Both also occurred after filming had finished because well, we like to be consistent.

It was a new experience for the boys to have to ‘perform’ without the safety of their instruments but I think they did very well. They embraced the idea of being menacing and all got into character by letting their stubble grow, apparently gangsters don’t shave.

In keeping with the godfather theme I gave the boys new names:
Ben “Crazy Eyes” Powell
Steve “Death Stare” Elliot
Andy “The Joker” Naylor

I’d like to say these names where based on evil doings but it was more their acting ability; Ben couldn’t keep his eyes still, Steve just didn’t move and Andy kept smiling!

I didn’t escape renaming; I’m now JQ ‘The punisher’ which I think is a fair assessment. I will say in my defence, if I'm having to sing an entire song in a cold dark room, having to start again and again cause someone laughed, I’m eventually going to hit them with the rather handy whip I've been given. Its cause and effect.

The actual filming of the video went very smoothly (with big thanks to Leon), after the initial awkwardness of having to do some rather disturbing things to a very nice girl called Shelly; everyone seemed to settle into character. The day went quickly and we were all duly a little mentally and physically exhausted by the end. Thankfully Shelly escaped the day with only minor grazes.

So the first Kazooee video is done. Now I’m hungry for more.
