| Notes (by
Tim Harris) * Original title was 'A Can Of Beans' * Originally devised as a 20 minute video * The basic plot was devised by James and myself whilst on a walk around London * Filming took place on around 12 days spread throughout 1992/1993. * It took over a year to edit the video. * Two versions exist, the second one being the most widely seen. The differences are slight: for example, footage of Captain Hollis and Daker underground at the time of the bombs dropping was added to the second version * The soundtrack was originally put onto audio cassette, compiled by myself using dialogue from the film and the music of Laurence Williams and Phil Young. A CD version was created by Phil Young in 1998 * There were six cans of beans dressed with "Government Emergency Supplies" labels on them (designed by James Spence) * Emerson's wedding ring was actually a converted toy water firing ring with the squeezy bulb removed |
