We filmed the main part of our music video for 'Barbarian' on 15th of November. We met with the WUFFA re-enactment team at 12 in Yarmouth by the coast and filmed for about 2 hours.
The filming itself went really well, we had 3 cameras to get different angles and shot types throughout the shoot so that we didn't have to do too many retakes. We all took part in filming and discussed ideas that each of us made, since we had gotten the basic idea of what to do and what we wanted on film from our storyboard.
The WUFFA team themselves were very good as well, as many of them had been in bigger feature films and they had their own director who knew how the battle should be done to make it look authentic and be conducted safely. The only mishap we had was when one of the actors dislocated his knee while we were filming, and an ambulance was called for him, so he had to pull out of filming, but he was happy for us to use the footage we had.
We are considering adding a live band playing the song to the video as it means we only have to use the best footage that we got on the day of filming, but we're going to have an edit with just the WUFFA scenes done first and then decide afterwards.
Overall the day went very well, and we hope that the next shoot for the last part of the video goes just as well.
