South Central – ‘Golden Dawn’ – Director Steve Glashier

The idea for this had been knocking around for a while, but none of us thought we’d be able to sustain it over a whole video. We teamed up with Grafik Warfare for some tests and it looked really good: all kinds of torches, light sabres, lasers, taped up to break up the light and make it a bit more dynamic, and shot it all on a stills camera with a long exposure. For the video itself, we must have taken thousands of stills in the freezing cold rain. Each time Fash had to give a three second count in, the camera took the shot everyone would move as instructed: it was gruelling, really fucking gruelling. After hours of it you just became dead to the ‘1… 2… 3… Click’. It didn’t come out exactly as we’d planned, mostly because of time and money once again, but it looks good and it certainly doesn’t look like any other video out there. This will most likely be the last video I ever make.
