When we started Like an Egg Productions we felt very strongly about basing ourselves in the Valleys. We wanted to show the rest of the world that this area can offer a unique and amazing experience to filmmakers. So when we were asked to produce a music video for one of the worlds top production companies who’s previous work this year include Beyonce, Rhianna and Madonna we were very excited to bring them to Pontypridd.
The video for I see Monstas is directed by Josh Cole one of the UK’s biggest directors (Rudimental, Chase and Status). It was filmed in and around Pontypridd, we used local people to star in it and local crew to make this ambitious idea come to life. Filmed over three days with guns, explosions and flying cameras it was a very tough shoot but the results speak for themselves.
The feedback has been fantastic and the final video has been received well. Here’s an interview with Josh where he explains why he loves filming in Wales so much. www.onepointfour.co/2014/09/02/sharp-shooter/
Here’s the video, it gets pretty emotional and contains violence.
