Late last year Hanover met with the "FranKo" band and their management over a Starbucks to discuss a new music promo. A pitch was put forward and the green light was given to shoot. Turn-around would be quick with the release of the track early in 2011.

Music video producer Cat Foley joined the team to produce the video. Cat is a successful producer with a wealth of experience producing promos for the likes of "McFly" and "The Offspring". She agreed to help put the project together with the pressure on to do so much in such a short space of time. Shot December 2010 on location in Bristol, the production team took over a church for two days to shoot the video. The video featured the band performing and a story-line involving a church full of ghosts! A hair and make-up team was put together under the supervison of Inma Azorin to handle the 30 plus extras brought in to play the ghosts on set walking around the church. Costumes were handle by Rebecca Sellors and Emilie Parnall who sourced period costumes and props to make the ghosts look even better.

Gaffer Colin Holloway rigged the lights around the church to help give the location a moody errie feel and Marc Covington on Steadi-cam to shoot some of the band and the narrative storylines. The video mixed up the shooting styles moving from handheld, dolly and steadi-cam.

A green screen was set up on the second day to shoot the special effect elements. CG compositor Alan Tabrett worked to deliver the 15 plus effects shots to be placed in the video.

"FranKo" are managed by Craker Music Company
