New Colonel Blimp signing Tim Brown and Knucklehead director Christopher Hewitt have teamed-up to bring us some viscerally-realised armed combat, and demonstrate that War doesn’t necessarily have to be Hell.

It was shot over one of those unseasonably warm October weekends in the wilds of Hackney on a D7 with the excellent Dan Trapp and a bunch of willing combatants, and the results are superb.

Eat your heart out Oliver Stone, Stanley Kubrick, Terrence Mallick, etc, etc.

Tim Brown on the making of the video for Hecq Vs Exillion’s Spheres Of Fury

“The initial idea for the Hecq video was born from a mutual love of 80′s war films. The bravado and attitude that pours from these movies is nothing but a treat to watch, our modern remake aims to capture some of those magical moments but with a slightly comical, modern stance.

“Hats off to Hecq for supplying such a moody, fast paced track. It allowed us to build tension between the two teams, and after releasing the two triggers of the flag and smoke we were set up nicely for an epic battle scene.

“Special thanks has to go to Dan Trapp and all the cast members for their efforts on the day. They really were champion for their efforts, especially when filming a water fight in the middle of October.”
