MUSIC VIDEO
At The Zoo – ‘I Just Want To Dance’, Dir. Daniel Thompson
The Budget for the video was £20, which was spent on 3 mini DV tapes and a round of drinks for the extras.
UNKLE – ‘Hold My Hand’, Dir. Mark Locke
No special effects or skateboards were used in this video – all the pulling is for real.
Von Kleet – ‘Funny Way’, Dir. Jason Temple
The last scene was shot the day after a massive snow fall. Most had melted by the time the crew finished the shoot; the rest they had to sweep out of shot behind the trees.

SHORT FILM UK
Cregan, Dir. Steve North
In the last scene armed paramilitaries turned up, at 5 am (in Boyne Square in Larne) and asked the crew 'what we were doing in front of their mural.' Very real!

Star Scott Middleton was attacked by a swarm of bees whilst filming one of the more poignant scenes.
