Casting

    The music video will need to (preferably) feature photogenic and reliable people whom I can trust and count on to turn up for filming, and will need to take the duration of the filming stage seriously.

I have chosen to use my friend Fraser Tuttle, as he is reliable, local, and looks the part for the video. He is also on good terms with me (evidently) and does make for an excellent person to work alongside. 

He also has a motorcycle, which will be his main scene/appearance, which works well with the intentions of the music video. I also know that I can trust riding with him, which makes the health and safety elements of these scenes less troublesome.

I have also chosen to feature my partner, Sophie Maunders, as she would work very well with the part as the partner of the main character (cameraman/myself) for obvious reasons. I am comfortable around her, as she is me, and this will make the scenes where there is likely to be quite serious acting easy to film. I can also rely on her for deadlines and management, and can go to her if she can't get to me on a set time/date.

Knowing her well and for a long time ensures no disagreements or anger which could disrupt filming or have a negative effect on the finished product.

I have not finished the casting, as more people may come to my attention and prove to be useful/interesting towards my video, as well as the possibility of being let down in some aspect, due to illness, accident or disagreement, though this is unlikely.
