LoveLove are really excited to present non budget multimedia collaboration with the talented musician Andy Duerden, and the new music video for “Top Heavy Down”. The unique track “Top Heavy Down” comes from Duerden’s newly releases album “Masterpiece”.

The music video is a compelling combination of stop motion animation and Tilt-shift photography, which demonstrates a powerful advance for the music video genre.

YES SIR BOSS presents a truly original, distinct and indefinable sound, created from a multitude of worldly musical and cultural influences. Their heavy blend of horn-led hooks, offbeat rhythms and epic riffs provide the perfect backing for the memorable and catchy lyrics invariably brought to life by the seductively expressive and husky vocals of front man Matt Sellors.

The team at LoveLove is extremely proud to present the official music video for 'In Your Head', the first single taken from the forthcoming album of talented Gabby Young and Other Animals. The new interactive music video is one of two creative projects Lovelove have been working on with the band, the second, an interactive game version due for release this summer.

It has been a real pleasure for LoveLove to work alongside such a talented and creative band, and equally as much fun designing and creating a unique music video with an underlying message. 'In Your Head' not only features Gabby Young and her band, but also a large number of the bands fan community; an exciting step forward for music videos capable by Pledge music. Fan members who pledged to be a part of one of the many packages designed by the band were able to have their own avatar featured within the music video and interactive game.

"Howling mad and completely irresistible" BBC 6Music ...."Gabby is a special talent with an enchanting voice." - BBC Radio 2 "A kaleidoscopic world of gaudy spectacle and burlesque beguilement" - musicOMH

And that's before you get to the music. Almost uncategorisable, Gabby's unique perspective on the world around her is inspired as much by her singularly surreal imagination as it is real events – most recently, her courageous survival of throat cancer. Gabby Young and Other Animals offer a slew of stunningly beautiful, often haunting songs that are a genre bending explosion of gypsy folk, pop, rock, jazz, cabaret – and a whole lot of soul

LoveLove Films are proud to announce their involvement in this years' Afrobeats which took place on the 28th August at London's Hammersmith Apollo. Hosted by DJ Abrantee, the sell-out event which saw 5000 people queuing up to see some of their favourite acts.

LoveLove were pleased to be asked to provide the audio-visual material to introduce some great acts including P-Square, Wizkid and Basketmouth in front of the packed audience of fans.

This marks the beginning of an exciting new venture for LoveLove whose skills in Live Event Services and Recording are being put to good use. The buzz and excitement of working at a Live Event is something the entire team love to get involved with and look forward to participating in in the very near future.

Lauren Loretto is the next serious contender for the world of pop.

This sassy pop star has been described as a singing Lara croft, with her athletic body, energetic performances and velvety vocal tones and it is hardly surprising that she is receiving attention everywhere she goes. Laurens spends most of her days in a recording studio with arguably some of the top producers in the UK, Guy Chambers, Rob Davis and BMI producer Carrie Searley from UK POP.

Support for Lauren Loretto is growing daily; producers, promoters, publishers, clubs and radios are also starting to show great interest. Executives from film company, LoveLove Films are just one of the companies who have recently offered their expertise and support.

Managing Director of LoveLove Films, Georgina Hurcombe, approached Lauren to produce her first music video 'Uptight' and subsequently approached the multi award winning short film and advert Director Anit Bashar, to direct the video.

Lovelove Films put together an exceptional team of over 35 people to work on this innovative video including multil award winning director of photography Andrew Fleming and former BBC1 Eastender Art Director Lissett Laurie.

The Director of the music video Anit had some very ambitious narrative plans Involving a futuristic twist on a 1950s spy tale, creating an end product that is both unexpected and unusual for the more mainstream pop genre. The 'Uptight' video is a 4 minute mini blockbuster seeing our heroine Lauren battling a gang of 1950s style thugs in a bid to protect secret data. An adrenaline rush from start to finish, the 'Uptight' video is a thrilling ride of special effects and brilliant performances which perfectly compliments the finger tapping track.

By any standards LoveLove Films' latest music video 'Uptight' is an amazing piece of filmic ingenuity. Although despite being a fledgling business having to navigate an ever changing economic climate LoveLove Films has prevailed against all odds to produce an inventive, exceptional music video on a shoestring budget. Despite these obstacles, Managing Director Georgina Hurcombe gathered together an amazing team that would make any video producer go green with envy. From the colour grader from slum dog millionaire and world famous Technicolor to some fantastic contributions from past and present BU, AUCB and Southampton Solent students. The Uptight's team worked hard to provide a top quality video that any artist would be proud to star in.

Georgina Hurcombe MD of Lovelove Films states:

"'Its been a real journey and I think 'Uptight' is a real testament to what can be done with drive, passion and creative thinking. Despite the budget being low we found great support from not only the television industry such as Panalux, Technicolor and our crews, but also from fabulous students and graduates from the surrounding area and universities, Its amazing just how much talent there is in the South!"

This video is a visual delight having been shot in HD on a mixture of the RED ONE camera and the CANON 5D. Unlike more generic music videos (particularly club/pop videos) LoveLove Films combined cross platform skills to produce a high concept Music video with a real narrative structure.

The animation team who created the complex futuristic control room with Iron man influenced control panel were a mixture of past and present BU, AUCB and Southampton Solent university students who worked for months and perfected the animation to an exceptional standard.

2d Animator Barnaby Benza Gillett states:

"We were bought onto the Uptight project to fulfil the visual effects requirements for Lovelove Films , upon learning about the theme and setting, we became heavily enthusiastic and inspired. We had creative freedom to develop the idea, which is always a bonus; whilst focusing on the theme that the producer and director required, drawing influence from the recent Iron Man films, Minority Report and Tron Legacy. The intense pace kept our minds active and our creative juices flowing. As a team, we collaborated on visualising the creative layout of the cyberspace, satisfying our individual needs of expression. We were designated shots to composite with ideas that we had formed together and had many critiquing sessions to further develop our workflow and output. Working with Lovelove Films has been a inspiring and uplifting experience"

The 'Uptight music video will be released in the summer of 2011 in conjunction with her upcoming tour. Lauren will be kicking off the first leg of her European tour with well known chart topper Basshunter in June.

As well as producing Uptight , LoveLove Films find themselves growing from strength to strength in their fledgling year. Working on a range of projects, LoveLove Films cater for a wide array of clients from broadcast projects to corporate videos, adverts and web based media to factual television and short films. Recently making their mark in the top 15 entries in the Doritos 'King of Ads' campaign and featuring on T4, LoveLove Films have shown their ability to create fresh and vibrant ideas for a mainstream market.

With their ambitions set high, MD Georgina Hurcombe and her team aim to take the media world by storm, however, that's not to say that they have forgotten their roots. A Bournemouth University graduate herself, Georgina always ensures that graduates and students are integrated into her growing team, giving them a chance to learn the ways of the industry, contribute fresh ideas and gain experience that will be invaluable in their future careers and the growth of the company. 2011 looks set to be a fantastic year for LoveLove Films with many upcoming projects in the pipeline and with Lauren Loretto's 'Uptight' under their belt, they've proved their worth as serious contenders in the ever-changing world of media production.

It's all go, go,go for Lovelove this month as we pack up our office and move across town to the Enterprise Pavilion next door to The Arts University and Bournemouth University. The Pavilion was constructed to nurture businesses and therefore, our move will put us in close proximity to other fantastic companies as well as being within an arms reach of the amazingly talented students at the Universities. LoveLove have always believed in the capabilities of young people and students and this way we can easily reach out to this community, giving us the opportunity to work with bright young minds that are the future of the industry.

We're all celebrating here at the LoveLove HQ as we prepare for 'I Won't Go' to make it's first international appearance at the 'One World' Human Rights Film Festival in Prague later this month. Following the great responses from screenings at the London Short Film Festival last month and well as Doc Heads, the team are very excited about opening up the documentary to a greater international audience. Take a look at the website for One World here:

and expect to see 'I Won't Go' hitting the festival on the 12th and 16th of March.

On the 13th of November, all for the good of Rob and Ra Drink the World Dry (honest), the team gathered at London Olympia Masterchef Live featuring The Wine Show to shoot Presenter Rob Buckhaven hosting at the Drinks Tasting Theatre as part of the The Wine Show.

Olympia was packed and all of Rob's masterclasses and talks were sold out. Huge crowds of people had gathered to hear Rob's words of wisdom and, hosting alongside Oz Clarke, Rob yet again proved his knowledge and experience in exploring the tastes and aromas of some of the world's finest wines.

The LoveLove team also interview Oz who had nothing but praise for the younger expert who he was sharing the stage with. Clara joined the team later in the afternoon to watch Rob.

The afternoon was rounded off with a little light relief –some interesting food tasting as well as some chocolate covered marshmallows and strawberries. Although Production assistant Sarra was still recovering from eating a very hot chill pepper appropriately named a 'Satan's Shit'

A great day was had by all and LoveLove got some fantastic shots of the pair enjoying their London lives. We'll just be sad to see the shooting of Rob and Ra coming to a close but were excited to get working on completing the edit.

It’s 6pm on a wet and windy Tuesday and the crew of the Rob and Ra shoot, are stranded aboard a P&O ferry, circling the port , waiting for a tug boat and ‘enjoying’ the lights of Dover for the umpteenth time. While the stars of the show are relaxing with a glass of wine in the bar, producer Georgina and production assistant Sarra are securing their place next to the life jacket cupboard in case a Titanic style incident should occur.

It’s been a long few days for the team who have battled a barrage of unwelcoming dogs, negotiated the winding roads of the French countryside and squeezed 6 people and all their kit into the crew car in order to shoot the show. Faced with angry protesters alighting piles of tyres in Rouen, fuel rationing and the only in-car entertainment being the Trivial pursuit iPhone app and a Seal CD, we finally arrived in Bretenoux.  There have been giggles and glasses of wine as the team roam the South of France, searching to improve their knowledge of wine making and more importantly – tasting. It’s been an enjoyable and adventurous trip which provided us with fabulous Chateaux setting for the first episode. A great time was had by all and it could not have been such a success without everyone’s hard work, the hospitality of our tour guide Jerome and the six course meal his wife Sylvie provided.

Despite the unexpected and adverse weather as well as the language barrier, director On Bashar and director of photography Mark Found returned home with some beautiful shots of the rolling French hills, hilarious banter between Rob and Clara and some great information on where some of our favourite bottles of vino comes from.

Over the Halloween weekend, Managing Director, Georgina was asked to help judge the British Horror Film Festival. Running from midday to midnight, the festival looked set to provide an array of shocks and scares as some of the front runners in horror battled it out in front of the judges.

Amongst some of the entries were 'Black Death' starring Sean Bean, the Aussie entry 'Needle' whose director John V. Soto flew all the way from Australia to be at the festival and 'Voodoo Lagoon'. Scooping the most awards however it was 'Devil's Playground' starring Brit favourite, Danny Dyer which proved that the zombie genre is still alive (well, undead actually) and kicking by picking up the Best Film award.

Georgina had a frightfully good time and being thrilled (pun intended) to have been asked to be part of the judging team at the festival, she always knew that her university dissertation all those years ago, 'How social anxieties of the 1960's to the present day have been reflected in horror movies' would come in handy!

Come and see I Wont go at the Fabulous Brancharge film festival! We were there last year and we are delighted to have been selected for this year programe of documentaries.
