High flying: Ravensbourne alumni directs 90s pop sensation
Ravensbourne alumni David Spearing recently directed his debut major label music video for Universal/Island Records and recent comeback kids, McFly.
“ I have a great relationship with the band now and they really trust what I do,” says David.
Even before general release last weekend the ‘Love is Easy’ video had clocked up nearly 1 million hits on Youtube over 2 weeks. It is now No. 3 in the iTunes chart and well over the million mark on Youtube.
The Content Creation graduate 2008 also pulled in another Ravensbourne alumni Broadcast Operations graduate 2006 James Elias to lend a hand as steadicam operator.
“The basic concept was for a ‘one shot’ type music video in which the band recreate some of their career highlights in a DIY theatre show, ” David explains, “It was quite a big task which involved a lot of careful planning as well as an amazing design team who built the entire set and all the props.”
The video shows the band having a lot of fun singing in an empty auditorium with moving sets and giant props.
