The waiting is over, everyone can now watch our Robbie Williams music video online (and if you are a Shooting People member you can vote too). For those of you who have not been following recent blog entries, here's the lowdown:

I have recently completed my latest film project - a music video for Robbie Williams. Well, to be completely accurate, a music video for the current Robbie Williams/Shooting People competition. The brief was to download an specific ("The 80s") from his new album "Rudebox" and create a short film or music video using some or all of the track. There are two prizes for the competition: the first is awarded by judges including Robbie Williams, Jonathan Ross and Lord Puttnam, the second IS VOTED FOR ONLINE BY YOU!

Starring Ashvin-Kumar Joshi and Laura Metcalfe, with Camerawork from Simon Aitken & Graham (no relation to Robbie) Williams, Make up from Ania Gastol, Colour grading by Rob Wickings, Produced by myself and Stephen Cartwright, and Edited and Directed by yours truly.

PS. The more eagle-eyed/technically astute will notice that the film is not being presented in the correct aspect ratio. It was shot 16:9 and is being presented anamorphic (stretched) in a 4:3 box. I have contacted Shooting People and hopefully a corrected letterbox version will be uploaded soon. In the meantime, please pretend it's deliberate 'special effect'. ;-)
