Pulp: Lipgloss (promo video)

Hmmm. Big budget time. Our first single for Island, so of course we had to spend loads of money. We'd seen this "inflatable environment" called 'Eggopolis' whilst in Liverpool one weekend & thought that it would be fantastic to film in. The problem was finding a studio that was big enough to fit it in. We eventually found one at Pinewood next to the James Bond studio. As usual the day was fraught with difficulties: 'Eggopolis' took ages to inflate, and the cameraman took even longer to light it, with the result that we only ended up filming in 2 out of its 4 eggs. My good friend & source of much inspiration, Miss Julie Jones (DD) had a boudoir set up for her shots & I ended up having to film all her parts in 10 minutes at the end of the day whilst the crew were already dismantling everything. I left the studio with a sense of abject failure. I edited the video in my sister's loft in the middle of November & as a consequence contracted severe flu. Myself & Martin Wallace finished the video while in a semi-coma & whilst I think we did a good job, it still makes me feel ill every time I watch it.
