This was a day shoot on a very cold day I must say, all over London with some of the most iconic backdrops including Big Ben (still under construction at this point unfortunately), London Eye and Abbey Road Studios. The other shots were more organic to the surroundings that I found that were visually appealing such as regents park on the 'jungle like' bridge and the steel based urban equivalent which I found on the way to regents park.

Filmed & Directed By James MartiniThis was filmed in Bournemouth, England on a very over cast and slightly foggy day, so this certainly gave a different look over the typical beach music video.
