Meeting with Tranqua Lite

Shortly after requesting the demo, the band sent us an early version of the song which we used the lyrics, mood and structure to put together a list of concepts that made up our pitch.

On Monday 30th October, Rob from our group went to visit Tranqua Lite's frontman, Toby Womack. He discussed the points made at the pitch and asked for feedback regarding the work we have already produced.
The notable points that emerged from this meeting include:
  • The band are keen to have a colourful video as this is part of their brand identity.
  • The band would be happy for us to use other actors within the narrative portion of the video.
  • The band have a rehearsal studio in Kirkstall they would be interested in being a shooting location.
  • They were keen to include an interview with a real homeless person.
  • They liked the Biffy Clyro video's concept with the same events happening twice so this is something we should work to incorporate.
  • The song isn't inspired by a particular story but the overall issue of homelessness in Leeds.
We are now in the process of arranging a session where we film them performing the song at Pirate Studios in Kirkstall as they have offered an invitation. We will go and try to film them in this setting on this upcoming Monday to see if this location is effective and better than the originally planned use of greenscreen and blank backgrounds. As the location looks aesthetically pleasing and allows the opportunity to adjust lighting creatively, it may have a very good result.
