Mallory Knox Hello

 

Thanks to Marina Ablett I acted in the Mallory Knox's most recent video "Hello" directed, filmed and created by Dan Broadley. The story line for the music video is the last days of summer and friendship and trying to make the most of it before it runs away. So the boys have to make an effort to get up, go out, and see their friends. On the day of filming we couldn't help compare the boys to looking like 1 direction sitting on the pier and the girls as Saturdays running toward them (Very Rock n'Roll). The filming took place in an abandoned diving complex in Plymouth on a very cold english summers day. we arrived at about 11 but weren't needed until about 3pm as the boys were doing performance shots.



 
 There was no phone signal the girls spent most the day exploring, eating and trying to sunbathe. On the first take of my first scene I managed to embarrass my self fully with what started as a jump and hug turning into pretty much boobing Mikey in the face. Not a great start but everyone found it hilarious. I also almost fell flat on my face by tripping over nothing i recovered but that shot wasn't used



The whole day was amazing the boys were lovely it pretty much was us actually hanging out and exploring the complex whilst Dan Broadley worked his magic capturing it. Not much acting was needed as most of it was spontaneous and real such as smashing plates and rooms, piggyback wars and dancing around to 1 Direction "What Makes You Beautiful" inside before Marina smoked it and us out with a flare. The flares caused a bit of commotion with the locals as we used them inside right next to a harbour (not the smartest of ideas).







 

We filmed an ending scene that wasn't used of us all sat on the roof watching the sunset maybe too cheesey. But that was a wrap, so high fives and hugs but as if i had any grace left to lose Sam managed to pull out one of my extensions, very classy. 



Nando's was planned but me and Marina had to catch a train home. Mallory knox have sinced played amazing spots in music festivals this year like headlining a stage at boardmasters and opening the Main stage at reading and Leeds this year.

Space Final Photos

Ok so 6 months ago I showed you behind the scenes of my hair styling for Space salon's new Promo photos. I feel almost obligated to show you the final product now. If any one was holding their breath waiting to see I'm sorry (although I highly doubt that) These two images are used within Space's promotional and expense booklet so if you live in Exeter you can go pick it up and keep my face with you where ever you go! I like how they turned out although not having my long hair and usual make-up really made me feel out of my comfort zone. Having another model let alone 3 was a completely new experience for me. so having to interact and consider the whole picture not just myself was challenging but it allowed us to create something different.


 As always, Jazz Furphy xxx

Rat Attack, A Bird in Hand Video





A little while ago I was an extra in Rat Attacks newest video Bird in Hand. The story line is that the guys have girlfriends but still can't help sneaking out and playing with other girls. It was filmed in Exeter at various bars and clubs.Three groups of girls where used the Girlfriends, and two sets of "Singles"?
  As I was put in the second set of "Singles" the first half of the day was just filling out the back ground and subsequently drinking to fill the time. By the time I was needed I didn't need to act feeling Tipsy. Can partying really be called acting though? The conclusion of the video is the girlfriends come out and beat the boys at there own game by catching them in the act and emasculating them. 
We where asked to dress up sexy with class so I went or a statement black dress from Urban Outfitters with long sleeves and a dense lace panel of the chest with black spiked heels from Newlook which by accident happened to make me taller than my partner for the evening.

During the course of the evening Kerrang Magazine visited the final bar to create a piece for their Introducing section which occurs every issue to expose an up and coming band. Rat Attack have had an awesome year in 2013 by playing festivals such as Download, Boardmasters and most recently Reading & Leeds.
