A YORK film maker has just finished creating the latest music video for Irish pop stars The Script.
Paul Banks’ video production company, Digifish, has worked with the chart-topping band since 2010, when it created a documentary called The Road To Aviva, which followed The Script as they embarked on a sell-out world tour.
Paul, who is also the guitarist with York group Shed Seven, said: “We had a ten-minute interview, and we’re still working with them, three years and two DVDs later.
“Following on from the DVD, I then was asked to begin work with them again when they starting writing and recording their number three album last year.
“We are also currently documenting their current world tour which has seen us film them in the USA, Asia, Europe and Australia over the past eight months.”
Earlier this year, Paul worked on the video for the single If You Can See Me Now, which has been viewed more than eight million times on YouTube.
Paul said: “Following on the success of that and through the close working relationship I have with the band, I was asked to pitch an idea for Millionaires.
“The band made it clear from the very start that they wanted the video to film like a short film and that they didn’t want to be in it, making it different to all their other videos. Although the song is called Millionaires it is really saying that you don’t need to be rich to feel like a millionaire, its about how you live your life, the friends you have.”
The latest video is a short story about a young couple and their friends, and how they see the world through rose tinted glasses. It has already been viewed more than a million times on YouTube.
Paul said: “Hopefully it is a video that most people can relate to and there are several little twists to look out for.”
