Shooting the Video

The video was shot in the morning and afternoon during the two lessons I have on Wednesday. I showed my storyboard and explained the concept to Will Jennison, a tutor who was standing in for Chris Stanley in the morning lesson. He liked the concept and kindly agreed to take part in the video. I had rigged up a camera stand together with a microphone pole to hold the puppet to get all the puppet 'running' shots. The video was filmed out of sequence but this was possible due to having a prepared story board. I had also pre-prepared and printed a fake 'Band Recording' notice to pin on a door and some dummy volume labels to use to add humour to the recording console sequence. I also had some cotton thread with me to allow me to hang the puppet from an overhead projector and to animate the puppet where necessary. The video was successfully shot in one day.
