Pube In The Butter 2

Most of this film has now been shot, Shooting in the studio was great fun, we've never done a live shoot before and it was quite the experience. I really think its brought the group together. Chris was organised and all of his actors turned up, there wasnt really a hiccup. It was all scheduled really well, we always shot anf finished on time. He did say the Live edit was a shambles, though i guess that makes the real editing job mine to do. Most of it was quite straightforward and we got some really good footage.

Here's a couple photo's from on location at the bandstand in Hartlepool. (Ive misplaced the images from the studio somewhere, I should have some up soon)
