Our first port of call on this very early morning was Bedgebury Forest in Kent. This is mostly where the fighting scenes were going to take place. It made such a lovely change to be shooting outside and it actually be nice warm weather for a change! For the first bit of filming we made KT in to the queen which was fun because she looked so different to how she normally looks. I had got some blue contacts for her and with the white blonde wig she was almost unrecognisable!
The guy who should have been fighting KT in the video ended up being about three hours late, and it turned out that a guy that works looking after the forest and had come to cut down some trees was actually professionally trained in this kind of fighting! Such a coincidence! So the first guy got the chop for being so late and unprofessional and our new guy stepped in. He was great and was giving KT lots of tips on the manoeuvres, so it couldn't have worked out better!
When we were done at the forest we set off for Camber Sands beach, and immediately got stuck in really heavy traffic! Which meant it took us absolutely ages to get there, so the latter part of the day ended up being a rush against the sunset as we needed the light. At the beach we were filming KT and the horse, it was so beautiful watching them running along the shore with the low sunlight. Luckily KT could ride and keep the horse busy in between takes so he didn't get too fed up!
I love the contrast of the really angelic sounding song against the armour and fighting in the video.
KT was such a lovely person, so nice to work with, an absolute dream! I hope our paths cross again sometime.
