We shot a riot in Soho last week on EPIC!

[Tom Jay Smith]

Last week we turned up to our office in Soho and noticed a few police vans...

By 11am there were 1200 Riot police situated within 100ft of our front door, 100's of anti-G8 protestors had seized a neighbouring building. The police had a warrant to remove them.

Never to miss a good opportunity we took to the streets with one of our EPIC's!

All roads into the West End were blocked, but we still managed to deliver every hire on time! Even if it meant by foot...

Opportunity well taken!

Well shot stuff, and love the slomo. You didn't get any police objecting or wanting your footage?

 

[Tom Jay Smith]

The police were in really good spirits actually, there were so many press with camera's they didn't mind!

Most of them just wanted to know what we were shooting on!

 

[António Fagundes]

Love it!

I've got so much great footage of crowds and the police... Would make excellent Stock footage! haha

 

[Sandro Klopfstein]

haha, nice one, mate! I'd love to go shoot some more stuff in london, every damn corner looks amazing. not too keen on bringing my red via easyjet and the tube, though :/

p.s. power to the people!

that would make excellent footage for sooo much stuff. just imagine all the hardcore/punk/metal music videos you could enrich with some lovely cowboys and indians footage

 

[Matt Gottshalk]

Excellent edit and music choice.

I might just do that it's just that we're usually on a swiss indie budget

I am sure even a Swiss indie budget can afford FREE!

We wouldn't charge anyone for the footage!

Lenses used?
