THE VIDEO CLIP EXERCISE IS A PERFORMANCE IN ITSELF WHEN IT INVOLVES MULTIPLYING SHOTS AND NATURAL SETTINGS WITHIN A WELL-DEFINED TIME AND BUDGET. CHALLENGE TAKEN UP NEAR VILLEFRANCHE SUR MER IN ONE OF OUR EXCLUSIVE LOCATIONS. A VILLA WITH SLIGHTLY OFFBEAT NEO-CLASSICAL ARCHITECTURE, AN INDOOR EIFFEL SWIMMING POOL AND ACCESS TO THE SEA FROM A HEAVENLY GARDEN. ALL THE INGREDIENTS WERE THERE FOR SANTA, LINE AND PUSS FROM THE GROUP HYPHEN HYPHEN, WHO HAD EXPRESSED A WISH TO RETURN TO THEIR NATIVE NICE TO SHOOT THEIR "DON'T WAIT FOR ME" VIDEO AND THE PROMOTIONAL PHOTOS FOR THEIR LATEST ALBUM "C'EST LA VIE". FOR 3 DAYS, THIS LIFE WAS INTENSE WITH A LOT OF MATERIAL TO MANAGE, MOVE AROUND AND LIGHT TO PLACE. BUT IT HAS ALSO BEEN ZANY, JOYFUL, GREEDY AND FULL OF COMPLICITY, AND THE ADVENTURE WITH HYPHEN HYPHEN HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN. THANK YOU SANTA, LINE AND PUSS FOR THESE MOMENTS.
