Swipe for some stills from Greg Hackett’s new film ‘Hey Jude’, that sees adidas back Jude Bellingham in the Euros. @greg_hackett leads the campaign soundtracked with the iconic Beatles track, performed live by Sir Paul McCartney. This rousing film reflects on England’s history of football heartache, but perhaps Jude and a new generation of players can overcome the pressures of their nation’s past disappointments - to ‘take a sad song and make it better’. The story of hope features some familiar faces, with David Beckham and Frank Lampard reflecting on their own tournament history. Stormzy, Laura Woods and Ian Wright can also be seen joining fans in embracing the joy of a major tournament summer. Huge love for everyone involved in bringing this one together, it’s taken so many people’s hard work and passion. For full credits click on the film post on our feed.

Greg Hackett uncovers the untold stories behind second-hand vehicles for Car-Pass. @greg_hackett ’s playful DC, made with @being.mov , draws on a series of satirical and absurd scenarios to show that every used car has had a history before we buy it. Whether it’s a scorned wife taking their revenge on a partner’s prized Porsche, giving birth on the side of a busy road, or professing young love via heart-shaped donuts, these cars have all lived a life, and you can discover their pasts using Belgium’s roadworthiness inspection initiative, Car-Pass.

A friend, and true artist, Loyle asked me to co-direct this crazy idea with him. Set in his Dads ACTUAL car over the course of 14 hours we turned a random race track somewhere in South West London in to a pursuit, low-loading, and motion control exterior studio. I’ve never worked faster, and harder than throughout this project. It was nuts in all the best ways; from working out how to maintain the appearance of a one shot when utilising four different types of camera work - Moco, Hand held, Slider and then Pursuit vehicle - to battling the full British weather in an exterior moco shoot. More to come on that in a few days, but for now, I wanna shout out @nosisa @bmealing @fredbwright @toddmartin @stitch_r jim & Rob from VFX @tim_swaby @barnywright who without this simply would not have been possible. And the biggest of love to @loylecarner for trusting me to bring this to life with him. Enjoy. #loylecarner #musicvideo #hate #oneshot #onetake Production: @spindlefilms Director:@loylecarner @greg_hackett DoP:@toddmartin Executive Producer:@nosisa.jpeg Executive Producer: @stitch_r Producer: @bmealing Production Manager:@kem.ne Production Assistant: @_garciathegreat 1st AC: Merritt Gold 2nd AC: Liam Reardon 1st AD:@fredbwright 2nd AD:@oli_hill_ 3rd AD:@freddiejhill Artist’s Manager:@tommogreer Artist’s Creative Director:@mikeyk__

Love this cheeky little poster @toddmartin made for our film over lockdown.

*Spoiler alert* People have been messaging about how we got certain shots in the Navy spot. So, here’s a little breakdown of the club. We could only get 15 extras for the club scene, but I wanted to show a full top shot from a mega busy club, so instead, @jimallenvfx and I, with the help of @producerbooth laid out 13 repeatable squares on a large floor and had @adam_scarth_dop create a repeatable lighting chase across the space. We filled each individual square with the same dancers, swapping their clothes each time, until we had shot all thirteen squares. @no8ldn then took the separate images and meshed them together bringing to life the wide redacted club scene I’d been banging on about for months. Big love to @barneywright for supporting me all the way through with my crazy requests. Scroll right to see the making of video :) and their craft come to life. Thanks for everyone who helped bring this crazy job to life. Filmmaking is a team sport and I had the most passionate & hard working group of maniacs with me on this one.
