J: The success of the video relies a lot on the performance of your lead actor, how did you go about casting
   Joshua Hubbard and what do you think he brings to the video (apart from that haircut!)?
YF: Haha, casting Josh was a result of pure haste and luck. I tried casting sites, agencies and social shouts
   but came out dry. I happened to be meeting a mate who saw my panic and introduced me to Holly Blakey, who’s
   choreographed some of my favourite promos. We met, and luckily she was into the script. We didn’t have time
   for casting so she showed me some photos of Josh and I thought he could work if he shaved his head, which
   was dyed fire engine red. He wouldn’t shave his hair as he needed it on other jobs, but agreed to dye it
   black. He’s based in Manchester so I only met him the afternoon before the shoot while he rehearsed with
   Holly. The character you see in the video is very different to Josh’s real life persona – he did seriously
   well, all things considered, and Holly’s choreography brought out an interesting side of the character.
