Client London Fashion Shoot In Hye On Wye by Kate Holmes from Client London
Which started on the friday morning at 9am and ended monday at 5pm having a creative bomb let off in my head! 7 girls and a male DOP decamped to wales…in the middle of the Black Mountains to shoot a film for Client London in a haunted Georgian house. From the minute we arrived the atmosphere just gelled and the house fitted straight into the wonderful art direction..helped by the moody skies one day and filtered spring sunshine the next. We treated the “Military Finishing School” film as one should with regimented 7am start-time filming, meal-times and forced exercise ..and spent the evenings in front of a large open fire watching foreign language films, the terrible Tsunami footage and drinking wine to wind down. The 3 models..Cecelia, Marilyn and Xsarah were both beautiful, sexy and relaxed and each put more into the shoot then they needed too…and the sombre and slightly dark element of the house..set up on the hill in it’s imposing position lent itself to the story-line…

with the sinister male who we found in the local village! A walk to the little river cafe on the sunday - where GQ Dylan Jones was also there …broke up the monotony of the set and I spent the afternoon filming stills with Marilyn…We ended the weekend with a 6am start on monday followed by a mad 2 hours of galloping with the director and me on the mountain on welsh cobs…before the drive back to London. I have now made more friends and revelled in the utter girlyness of the weekend, film to be completed mid April 2011 and we have the wonderful Micheal Nyman doing the music for us
