Ghosts video shoot by Harvey Grace


Cast of the video

"A few months ago Daryl, who I've known for
a few years, approached me and asked if I'd
be interested in helping the band get a music
video made. After hearing the song it was for, Ghosts, I was more than happy to get involved;
it's a great track!

After I'd heard the song I interpreted it as being about lost love, and felt like it would be
interesting to show an ex-couple revisiting
memories of the two of them together.

Lucy Harvey and Ryan Gilks play the ex-couple,
and very kindly they were willing to give up two
days of their time to help make the video happen!

They were cast through Doug Kirby of DogtaG
Films who I've worked with a few times before.
He's a great bloke and is always happy to get involved. It also wouldn't have been possible
without the help of Steve Hodson of D&S Autos (http://www.swindon-car-repairs.co.uk/) who
allowed us to film some of the band scenes in
his garage!

Band making the video

We shot the video over two days, the first just
with the actors and the second with both the
actors and the band. Day one went well, and the weather couldn't have been better. Everyone got
a little sunburnt though so it might have been
a little too good!

Day two didn't start out quite as planned. The
start time was 7am on a Sunday, but unfortunately it started raining almost as soon as we all arrived, and didn't ease off for a few hours! The rain did eventually clear up and I think we all ended up having a good time. Everyone really pulled
together and hopefully it was worth it!"
