No Comments LONDON RIOTS AND STEVIE WONDER

Article written by Skidblog on the 12 Aug 2011 in Community,Handheld work,New Production Work

It’s been a crap week in London and Birmingham and Manchester. Where it all started was in Tottenham, a North London district, and one time home of Killa Kela, an artist I’ve been working with for the last few weeks. Super Massive Raver, my comedy project, has been sitting in development for some time now and we were asked if we could come up with something that showed a more contemplative, alternative face to the character and we’d been sitting on a speech from Hamlet that we like for some time. Couldn’t be more different to the manic, in your face craziness of our normal videos, right? After the riots happened we realised how poignant this soliloquy actually was and, just like that, decided to shoot something impromptu featuring Kela and SMR, to showcase SMRs excellent singing voice, and really show how we’d be able to give this character some shades of light and dark.

See if you can guess which camera it was shot on though?

If you like it, pleas pass it on, as I feel like it’s one of those rare moments when we’ve actually been to do something positive for a chance.

Thank you.
