I've finally had some time to edit the behind the scenes video from a shoot I did a while back, It was a bit of an off the cuff shoot as we had some time between travels while up in Northamptonshire.

The Detective - Behind the scenes of the set build and design.
I had this idea for the next scene of my series of film stills, The image I had in my head was one of a bleak concrete walled interrogation room with a detective talking to my recurring character.

VIDEO - An impromptu shoot on a 2 day trip to Northampton. A Film Still BTS -
