In that self-same hedonistic decade of excess, "Behind the Moon" goes behind the scenes of the making of the Under the Moon video to reveal the personalities, the tension on set and the actual making of the video. It tells the brutal and sometimes harsh story of the handsome, sensitive and incredibly talented young man looking for love and not getting it from those working with him. The director, the notoriously difficult and exceedingly moody Bif Rydburg, makes the video a masterpiece but admits his true feelings that predict the eventual demise of Fierce Blue Ascot.
Starring Ian Westbury, Susie Cheltenham and Pauline Wallis of Fierce Blue Ascot.
Directed by Bif Rydburg
In a hedonistic decade of excess, "Under the Moon" tells the simple and innocent story of a handsome, sensitive and incredibly talented young man looking for love.
With backing from Fierce Blue Ascot's label, Gold Lamé Records, the video was shot over a two week period in a little recording studio in Leicester. Famed British prop designer Nigel Nunn Taylor, commissioned to create the moon, handcrafted it from imported polymer laminate. The material was delayed at customs due to its volatile nature. A stand-in moon was required for the initial takes and if you look closely at the first few frames of the video, you might recognize the backside of a frying pan shining down on the band.
