NEWS : Behind The Scenes Of FlyBoy E’s New Video One Man Soldier Featuring Little Dee

Written by Tego Sigel on 15 Mar 2011

Last week FlyBoy E shot his video for his latest drop One Man Solider so in true RWD fashion we went behind the scenes to get you the exclusive and talk to the man himself..

Big shouts to director Elmino, Fly Boy E complimented working with him, “Elmino had a good idea and vision of how to get the music to correlate with the visuals effectively Elmino got real creative with some of the shots and angles he used, we had fun whilst shooting the video to One Man Soldier “ Of the song FlyBoy offered “When you listen to the track you will notice it’s a big sound with a lot of energy which grips you from start to finish, so to execute the exhilarating feel of the track, we had to implement a lot of fast movement.”

The video’s plot sees FlyBoy on route to a location, with hype building, like a general calling his troops, the word gets out and others start to gather and meet at the final destination “We tried to implement different scenes of people getting a phone call telling them about the meet up point, for example the cameo shot in the tattoo shop.” FlyBoy continued “We got all the day time shots whilst the sun was still out but when it started getting dark we made our way to the forest where everything got a little more exciting.”

Breaking out the flares for some night shots, FlyBoy knew they had to be careful “During this part of the video shoot we had to be cautious as we were playing with fire literally. We had to light up some sticks and get a couple performance shots with me holding the torch, the same with Little Dee.”

The imagery used in the video is an example of how sophisticated Grime is becoming and the creative mind of Elmino at work. We also caught up with Elmino on set, who was excited about the project “As soon as I heard the track One Man Soldier I knew the video was going to be crazy. The tune is an absolute madness, the beat and the way FlyBoy E and Little Dee delivers on the track is serious. We put our creative minds together and it wasn’t hard thinking of a theme for the video, as inspiration was flying in the air it made things easier. The day of the shoot was smooth, hardly any problems, we more or less managed to capture everything we envisioned resulting to great video shoot and an epic video”.

The Video for FlyBoy E Ft. Little Dee – One Man Soldier premieres on RWDmag.com this Thursday.
