This awesome custom video was scripted and produced by the customer, who carefully shopped for and sent us all the outfits and gave us hair and makeup styling tips as well as writing the script. He wanted to see a film in the tradition of 1960's TV shows like The Avengers where the damsel-in-distress would be revealed by the investigator as he opened a door, and we set up the storyline accordingly. Ariel plays heiress Barbara Davenport, travelling to London for the reading of the will to come into her inheritance. But inimical forces are at play, and at Geneva airport she is accosted by villains! Fortunately, private detective Charlie is on the scene, and with the help of brave airline staff member Sophia Smith, must seek to rescue Miss Davenport before it is too late! We really enjoyed being able to spend a whole day shooting the project, and having time in post production to add touches like sixties-style title sequence and music. And as luck would have it, I was travelling by air around the time we shot it, so I could pick up some B-roll for the film as well. It's great fun to do these more ambitious customs, please do drop me a line if you'd be interested in seeing your own personal fantasy brought to life!
