Our Location

We decided to film our music video in Mama Liz's VooDoo Lounge in Stamford. The urban feel and vibe , as well as the  lighting available to us would help to create the gloomy feel we are trying to achieve (inspiration from Mumford and Sons- Little Lion Man). The venue itself is appealing to a range of people, and often puts on gigs and festivals of many different genre's.

Not only this, but the venue is easy enough and close enough for us to get too, without looking too stereotypical or allowing people who also live in the surrounding area to be able to identify where it is, adding to the overall sophistication of our video.

In order to make sure our venue is 100% perfect, and also so we can make decisions in advance as to what props we need to take with us, we will visit the venue on Friday 4th November before our actual filming date a week later. From doing this, we will allow ourselves to save time and effort on the actual day, and also be able to make sure we have everything with us that we will need.

After visiting the venue, they rang to tell us that we were unable to use the location on the only day we were available to borrow the equipment due to a band wanting rehearsal time. Instead, we chose to sort our second choice, Stamford Art's Centre's Ballroom. However, after turning up on filming day, we quickly realised that it was a better option for us to film there than Mamma Liz's due to the equipment available to us, and the effects we could create from using them.
