The Gentlemen – Lights of Tokyo Music Video

Yes it was me doing the make-up at the beginning of the video :)

After the amazing modelling session for The Gentlemen’s album cover (see the blog post and pictures here), the gentlemen approached me again, however this time we were putting together a music video for their new single Lights of Tokyo.

Apart from featuring in the video myself, I was in charge of finding 20+ Japanese/Asian looking guys and girls to put on a show.. This is where social media plays its important role again. The casting information was spread around the Asian community in Sheffield and displayed on various social media platforms, including the popular Chinese Weibo, Facebook and Wechat.

Even better, their lead vocal Nicolas told me that he stopped a random Asian girl on the street and invited her to join with the music video. The girl smiled and said: “Yes I’ve heard about it already!”
