‘You’ve Got That Feeling’ Music Video by Natalie Ross

You may recall a couple of weeks ago I posted a Making Of video documenting the production of the new music video that I worked on in September, by singer and songwriter Natalie Ross for her latest single ‘You’ve Got That Feeling’. Well the music video premiered at Guildford’s very own live music venue The Boileroom on Saturday 22^nd January and has now been released for all to see and hear!

‘One-woman band’ Natalie Ross is an artist with a barbershop style sound but with a modern twist. Not only does she write her own material but she co-produces and arranges it all as well! As Natalie phrases it in Burning Wick’s Behind the Scenes, the music video for ‘You’ve Got That Feeling’ is a ‘visual representation’ of the song – a story of meeting the right person at the right moment and everything else falling into place!

Directed and filmed by Colin Arnold of The Surgery Productions, the 1940's style music video was filmed in Caterham, Surrey where fantastic jive dancers and extras all gathered to take part in the 1940’s tea dance set-up. Everyone’s outfits were incredible, the dancers were amazing and if you'd have stumbled in on the shoot you’d be forgiven for thinking you’d really gone back in time!

It was a real pleasure to work with Natalie and everyone involved on the day. I hope you enjoy the video as much as we all enjoyed making it!

To hear more of Natalie’s songs, get your hands on the ‘You’ve Got That Feeling’ download single and see dates for future gigs get yourself over to www.natalieross.co.uk

The Surgery Productions is also behind projects such as feature film The Fallow Field and further music videos for singles ‘Ides’ and ‘The Reason (Parasite)’ by UK band Subsource. The latest work to come from Surgery Productions, due for release early this year is the highly anticipated ‘Subsource Dubmentary’ – a feature-length music documentary following the band as they tour Europe and the UK.

Behind the Scenes!

In September I did make-up on-set of the shoot for singer Natalie Ross’ up and coming single 'You've Got That Feeling'. Producers at Burning Wick filmed a behind the scenes video interviewing Natalie, director Colin Arnold and giving viewers a little taste of the action in making a 1940s music video.

Natalie's video, produced by The Surgery Productions premiers tomorrow night at Celebrating the Girls of Guildford event held by Guildford-based music venue the Boileroom! With a vintage fair in the day and a fantastic array of artists in the evening, including Miss Ross herself, this will be a fantastic event for any lady who loves her fashion and music – what more could a girl ask for?!

You’ll find the Behind the Scenes video from Burning Wick on my website and I’ll be posting the official music video in days to come. In the meantime have a little peek here...

Inspired by... Jonsi

Jonsi Birgisson is an incredible musician from Iceland. If you think the vocals and general sound are familiar when you hear his music then you won't be surprised to hear that he was lead vocalist and song writer from Sigur Ros. Jonsi has now gone solo and his debut album 'Go' will be released on April 5th.

His first single release taken from Go is his track 'Go Do' - this is such a beautiful track with all the amazement and sensational goosebumpy feeling that I got from Sigur Ros' previous work. I think he's incredibly talented and what's more the music video to his debut single is equally as beautiful.

Why do I mention it here? Check out the makeup, (costume and set design to boot!) in the video *here* and you'll see why...

So gorgeous it HAD to be shared!

Video Shoot: You Heard Nothing Promo Video

You may remember a couple of months ago I mentioned I did the makeup at a casting session for a promotional video to be filmed the following weekend? Well the video was sent out onto the Worldwide Web for all to see last night and I wanted to share it with you all here too.

If you haven't heard of You Heard Nothing, they're a group of DJs and VJs (Visual Jockeys) who hold immensely awesome club nights where you'll hear a mix of indie, electro and rock. Between them, the Surgery productions and Skidoosh, starring the very lovely Alessandra Leonie and makeup by me, this promotional video was born.

It was so much fun making it, coming up with the makeup and seeing it go through the motions in post production. And if you're wondering what the super crazy, rock-your-socks-off track is it's 'Lightsabre Cocksucking Blues' by Fight Like Apes. Their songs are so much fun - their gigs are even crazier - they're a must-see!

So without further ado I present to you You Heard Nothing's first promotional video - enjoy!
