Rising RnB star Lewis 'LP' Planter will be in Lincoln on
Saturday (21st May) to promote the launch of his new music video
which was filmed in the city.
The video, filmed on location at Christopher's on Newland and
outside the Usher Gallery, was produced by Lincoln-based events,
promotional and modelling agency Events23 in collaboration with
Christian Moles and Twist3d.
Directed by University of Lincoln graduate Christian Moles and
shot by Adrian Samarra from Adrian Samarra Productions, also based
in Lincoln, the video is for Lewis' latest song Name and Number and
has a 1950s big band feel.
Managing Director of Events23 Paul Mutagejja, who also provided
actors for the shoot, said: "We were delighted to be asked by
Christian to work on collaboration on this project along with
Twist3d and Adrian Samarra.
"It was a really enjoyable shoot for everybody involved who had
a lot of fun sourcing 1950s costumes and props to make the video
look as authentic as possible. It's also good promotion for the
city and we would like to thanks Christopher's for providing the
location and vintage shop Ego for supplying the costumes."
Singer/songwriter, producer and artist Lewis grew up in the
hills of St Elizabeth, Jamaica and is currently studying sound
engineering at Birmingham City University.
Name and Number was originally released back in August 2010 and
featured on prolific Jamaican label Don Corleone Records'
compilation album Major and Minor Riddim. It will be re-released to
coincide with the launch of the video.
Commenting on the video, Lewis said: "I am over the moon at the
production quality and professionalism of the project and I would
relish the opportunity to work with the team again.
"My music is a representation of my life and my intention is to
spearhead a revival of meaningful music quite similar to the eras
of the past.
"As co-executive producers Events23 provided exquisite creative
ideas for the video, management services, actors and models while
Christian and Adrian managed to transform the very detailed
storyboard created by Twist3d and Christian into a modern-day
classic."
The video took four days to film and a two-month post production
to make and according to Adrian it's a testament to all the hard
work and preparation that was put in prior to the shoot.
"We hope that when people watch the video they'll appreciate the
time and effort that went in to making it as believable as
possible," he said. "Events23 played a big part in organising this
shoot and working with them was a pleasure."
Paul Sinclair from Twist3d added: "Lincoln is developing nicely
as a creative hub in the region and this project helped to bring a
lot of talented individuals together.
"Working on a music video gave me the opportunity to use my
drawing skills to help visualise our ideas through storyboards. The
team worked really well and I hope to be able to collaborate on
similar projects with them in the future."
Christian Moles said: "I was very pleased with finished article.
The project was a great chance to showcase my skills and work with
along side other talented professionals here in Lincoln."
