What's Twitter?

On Saturday we took over a suite at the Bentley Hotel in South Kensington and shot the video for Ironik's forthcoming single 'Tiny Dancer', featuring Chipmunk and Elton John. Unfortunately Elton wasn't available to attend the shoot. But Chipmunk turned up, along with three of his management team and one of their girlfriends; we also had a camera crew from MTV base, one from Holy Moly, one from Channel U, a photographer, a journalist from Nuts, one from Zoo, and two reps from Police, who provided sunglasses for the video; Ironik came with his two managers, his mum and his friend Miles - KFC Jerome wasn't there because they've fallen out. Basically there were nuff people in the room. And everyone wanted a piece of the monitor. Von Adams had bodies clambering all over him to get a look.

In the morning I took a moment to film Ironik and Chip talking. For me this clip perfectly sums up the excitement, banality, ennui and utter pointlessness of being on set. Stick with it because the last few seconds prove that Ironik is the Alan Partridge of UK hip hop.

For the record, the Video was directed by Max & Dania of Bikini Films and produced by Scott Clark.
