Location III: Psychedelic C.R.E.A.M Team Seaside


My 3rd location was the Psychedelic C.R.E.A.M Team Seaside. After listening to the classic 1993 Wu-Tang Clan track C.R.E.A.M (Cash Rules Everything Around Me) I decided I wanted to put an ice cream based area in my film. Original ideas included a seaside tea party and giant Ice Cream mountains, but again, due to my lack of even a basic grasp of quantum physics and time traveling in general I decided that there were simply not enough days in my schedule for such ridiculous ideas. Instead I decided to build some large (about the size of a 6 litre dustbin) ice cream characters, named the C.R.E.A.M Team as an affectionate nod to the Wu-Tang Clan.

I also added the dairy funk speakers to this area, as there is no point listening to the wondrous psychedelic sounds of The Grateful Dead and the Funkadelics without an equally ludicrous sound system.

...And what would the seaside be without the sunshine I hear you ask?! Well, quite frankly, it would be Great Yarmouth seaside. Which is where I filmed this... In mid-February. With nature against me and a marauding bunch of crack-heads seriously impeding on my filming schedule whilst on location in marvelous GY (Great Yarmouth; keep up!) I decided a cartoon sun was the only way to go. Sadly this never made it into my final cut as I neglected to get many shots with a decent degree of skyline in them (a professional to the last!) so as a compromise it became the logo for the news reports on the unfolding war throughout the video. Adopt. Adapt. Improve... Or something...
