Nicki Paton - Unspeakable
Nicki Paton's debut single is a catchy, upbeat power pop song and needed a video which was bright, colourful, fun and playful, like her and the song...
The idea was developed to have a simple narrative focusing on a game of pass the parcel in which the main prize is more than the winner would have expected! This allowed Nicki the chance to be herself and have some fun with the story element of the video - see the banana for evidence of this!
Shot at Fleetwood Films Studio, the video is fast paced with lots of colour generated by the wrapping paper "sets" which surround Nicki.
We utilised a crane to get the top down shots on her performaning, giving a different feel to the usual shots seen in music videos. The tracking shots generate movement in the tunnel of wrapping paper and allowed Nicki room to move with her performance and a chance to interact with the camera.
The pass the parcel sections feature a number of tracking shots to create a feeling of movement as the parcel is moved along among the group members. The clean, sharp white look of these scenes is in distinct contrast to Nicki's scenes - although still inkeeping with the bright colours of the rest of the video.
The video was graded as well to give a richer, deeper tone to the colours in it to further enhance to colourful appearance to it.
