Today we went to the Art Smart centre in Edmonton. It took us a long and rainy bus journey to get there and even longer to find the actual building but once inside we lit up immediately.
The location is perfect for what we want. It has two different rooms, one downstairs which is covered in paint and really messy with loads of odd things scattered around, and one upstairs which is plain and clean with carpet. This was brilliant as we want two contrasting locations for the different sections of the song (see treatment below and on group blog). Also there are lots of individual art studios which were perfect for our idea of individual band member shots as they have tight corners and are very claustrophobic, the exact thing we're looking for. The lift also looked a bit murky, thinking of sticking the drummer in there.
We found lots of amazing handy things to use, such as the mini portable lights that could possibly blind a man, and the push carts which can take ridiculous amounts of weight and look perfect for tracking/arcing/panning
YAY
But by far our favourite points were these;
-There is a room with tea, biscuits and drinking water taps
-We can use it evenings and weekends freely with no disturbance
-The management are lovely and willing to help
-There are already speakers there to play the song from
-It's close to school so no horrible traveling
-There's a spot to plug in a microwave so I can bring tagliatelle from home to eat!
-We're allowed to film overnight and we would simply be given the keys to lock up
I'm very happy and this looks like a promising project. Makes a lovely change from last year.
Bring on the planning
