Chapel Club - Shy

Simona Harrison grades new Franklyn Banks promo for Chapel Club. Shot in a variety of disparate locations – at the foot of a bridge, in a dense forest, in a telephone kiosk, by a tower block – the video accompanies new single Shy.

“Chapel Club came to us looking for a video with a dry sense of humour” explains Franklyn. “So I came up with the idea of deconstructing the nature of shyness – the feelings of awkwardness, wanting to take refuge, feeling under scrutiny, stuttering etc – and turning these facets into a series of visual sight gags.
