Photos of the last video shoot for Chops.

I'm really gutted that I didn't get more photos at the time because everyone was really looking the part and it was excellent fun. Despite their obvious intoxication and general lethargic presence, I could see that those people who had scolded themselves into turning up for the shoot looked like they intended carrying out their jobs with an effervescent aplomb.

Of course! I should mention the gist of the video round about now. I've written this description and copy and pasted it so many times on other blogs and forums that I really can't be arsed doing it again right now but I'll be brief. On the island where my parents are from everyone forms a massive circle on the day of a wedding, the more confident women from the crowd take turns dancing with the wedding cake erotically in the centre. I don't know why they do this but I wouldn't be surprised if one of my aunties told me that it improved the flavour as they're quite a superstitious lot over there. When I visited (Petite Martinique) one time I filmed a wedding and have used this footage as material for the one we made on the day.

I took on the central role of chief erotically dancing woman and imitated to a certain extent some of the moves they were throwing in the original film which in turn my servile drones surrounding me would imitate. As for the idea behind it all I think it was about wanting something really badly but in the end not getting it in the form that you wanted, and also about forgetting what's best for yourself as a person and spending the bulk of your time gorging on simple pleasures to the point where you choke to death on them.

Anyway, check out these shots and be sure to get involved in the next venture which should be mid October in the Hyde Park area of Leeds for a great band called Cowtown - http://www.myspace.com/cowtownsuperstars
