One blustery dull January day, I had the pleasure to
accompany up-and-coming Brighton band Telegraphs on their video shoot for new
single ‘I Don’t Navigate By You’. Shot at an exhausting double speed and in 4
different locations, each shot was meticulously set up to so that each scene
zooms cleverly in and out of a picture frame.
As well as documenting the many location changes and general
goings’ on, I had the special task of dressing bassist Hattie Williams. After
picking out some signature Dollydagger dresses, Hattie ended up with a mixture
of looks; sometimes going for all-out glamour with our 50’s Satin Sweetheart
Swing dress, or opting for a more ‘rock’ look by pairing a tight pin-up dress
with converse and ‘bed hair’.
Overall, the day transpired to be a very interesting insight
into how video directors, band members and lighting technicians work to make
rock bands look super cool for our enjoyment (with the help of some Dollydagger
dresses too of course!).
