Disciples 'No Ties' by Elliot Simpson

Promonews - 20th June 2019

Park Village's recent signing Elliot Simpson has directed a very groovy and cool photo booth-based video for Parlophone's new soul-disco outfit The Disciples.

Flipping the party narrative and combining entertaining visuals with some neat in camera trickery, The Disciples are joined by an epic guest list of friends and treat the viewer to a delicious dose of interactions and vignettes from a unique fly on the wall perspective.

ELLIOT SIMPSON:

“It was an enjoyable shoot and really interesting experimenting with the action and lighting in the same small 'photo booth' style frame all day. The stripped-back, raw nature of the concept meant you got an authentic glimpse into each one of our character, and we could have fun with their interactions.    

"We had a really cool cast, everyone was on a good vibe and had a laugh with it, we even had people just turning up! I always want films or images I make to feel authentic, to feel real or a true reflection of the culture or emotion I’m trying to capture.”
