Creating great video content, despite massive footage challenges.
This was a tricky project, not least because we didn't have the rights to use broadcast tour footage in the film - however, we managed to make it work! Just. We filmed 5 interviews with Josh and the main contributors plus a tonne of b-roll over 3 days.
The main challenge was the lack of footage to support the interviews when talking of early life, or the experiences on tour. That's where the creative problem-solving started. We shot b-roll sequences specifically to carry those moments, effectively building coverage from scratch where none existed.
We also delved deep into social archives and approached close friends and family for photos of Josh to use and help drive the edit. With 4 x 10 minute episodes to deliver this was invaluable.
So, despite the challenges on this project, it came out very well.
