It was shoot in an empty building next to St. Pancras station that had been decorated to look like an old mansion house with with velvet drapes on the walls and echoing corridors. The central idea for the video was to recreate the same energy and dynamism that we showed when we used to crash into record companies and do the frentic hard sell. We invaded places and left people breathless. The director Johan came up with the location. The station building had been trasformed in an old mansion house populated with odd characters and stereotypes. Then we had to bounce through the place sing Wannabe sweeping away the cobwebs. I wore an outfit that had cost me 20 pound at a secondhand stall at Notting Hill market. The showgirl outfit was a leotard with sequins at the front and back. Unfortunately I also insisted on wearing a pair of towering platform shoes, à la Vivienne Westwood. I could hardly walk in them and certainly couldn't run. I fell over so many times that Johan grew hoarse yelling cut!. I wobbled through the entire video, nearly wiping out a lamp shade and almost toppling down a flight of stairs. All because I wanted to look tall. The video appeared to be shot as one continuous take from the beginning to end, but was in fact two takes that were so perfectly synchronized that nobody could tell. Geri - If Only here was a good feeling on the set of the Wannabe video even though it was so cold. It was our first one and I had a shock when I arrived and saw how many people were working on it - all there just for us! It was meant to be a documentation of uss, so it didn't have any close-up beauty shots. That made it a bit easier Victoria - Real Life Real Spice: The Official Story SAY YOU'LL BE THERE Director: Vaughan Arnell Location: Mojave Desert, California USA Shooting Date/Period: 7-8 September 1996 We filmed the video in the Mojave Desert just outside Los Angeles. As we squeezed into our skin-tight catsuits in the blinfing heat we couldn't help remembering how we'd recorded the song in our trackie and socks in Elliot's studio in Sheffield, constantly getting caught out by the damp patch on the floor of his toilet. It was a world away. It was a fun shoot even thought it was incredibly hot. We had a fantastic hair guy who put mad colours in my hair, it was the first time I'd dyed it. The set was in the middle of nowhere and we all had our own Winnebagos, which was hysterical. Every take was just such a laugh for me at any rate. We stayed at a hotel in the middle of the desert that felt like something out of Thelma and Louise. Mel B - Catch A Fire This was one of my favourite videos. We were out in the desert and all getting on really well, so it was a complete laugh. It was very hot and I nearly got sunstroke! Two of the nights, we went back to this hotel in the middle of nowhere - it was like Thelma and Louise. Emma - Real Life Real Spice: The Official Story 2 BECOME 1 Director: Andy Delaney/Monty Whitebloom (Big TV!) Location: London, UK Shooting Date/Period: 5-6 November 1996 The video for 2 Become 1 was shot against a green screen, the background was added later, and involved a lot of hanging around and not doing much, interspersed with loads of close-up camera angles. Oh, and there was a deer in the studio, because someone had had the bright idea of featuring one in the video. What the fk is that deer doing here? we whispered to each other. Oh dear! we kept saying loudly. Oh dear, oh dear. Mel B - Catch A Fire I think 2 Beeome 1 was myfavourite video. My coat was wicked in it and it was really different to the other videos - shot entirely in the studio, with high technology and loads of effects. It was really weird having to sing passionately into the camera - I felt a right mug! Victoria - Real Life Real Spice: The Official Story The video shoot for 2 Become 1 was really tough. It took two days in astudio, which was really cold because there were a load of wind machines going. It was funny because we wanted to get this effect of our hair blowing really slowly in the wind, so we had to lip-synch in double time. It was hilarious singing so fast. Melanie C - Real Life Real Spice: The Official Story MAMA Director: Andy Delaney/Monty Whitebloom (Big TV!) Location: Ealing, London UK Shooting Date/Period: February 1997 It look such a long time to film the Mama video, but if was nice that our mums were there and could see what we're doing. It's good, because they were actually knackered at the end of the dayand I said to my mum: "Ha! Now you know how I feel every day!" Victoria - Real Life Real Spice: The Official Story It was nice for our mums to get involved, but for me personally. I found it abit bizarre bringing my mum to work with me on the Mama video. You know: "This is what I do - come and do it, too." If you worked in Sainsbury's, you wouldn't get your mum to sit with you on the till. But it was nice for them to get made up, have their hair done and feel glamorous. Geri - Real Life Real Spice: The Official Story WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE Director: Gregg Masuak Location: London, UK Shooting Date/Period:February 1997 We shot the video for Who Do You Think You Are in a really mad club - a real dive. The toilets were horrible and we bad to have our make-up done in a Winnebago. The vibe was excellent, though - I think it was mY favourite video because it was such good fun. I felt like a proper pop star because we did these Individual bits with a guy with a SteadlCam and we had to give it loads as we sang to the camera. It was just how you imagine it when you're young. We were all dressed up. too. I had a dress and shoes on for the first time ever and I felt like Kylie Mlnogue. It's just a real party video. Melanie C - Real Life Real Spice: The Official Story I enjoyed making the Comic Relief Who Do you Think You Are video so much. The women were all really warm and funny and nice. The freakiest thing about it was seeing Jennifer Saunders. She looked just like me and everyone said they thought she was me. It was absoluteh bizarre - the make-up, evervthing. It was scary - like, doI really do that? She takes off people and she'd got my mannerisms exactly. It was themost in-yer-face reflection of me. and I was thinking: "Oh my God!" Geri - Real Life Real Spice: The Official Story SPICE UP YOUR LIFE Director: Marcus Nispel Location: New York, USA Shooting Date/Period: 6-7 September 1997 TOO MUCH Director: Howard Greenhalgh Location: London, UK Shooting Date/Period: November 1997 STOP Director: James Brown Location: Dublin, Ireland Shooting Date/Period: January 1998 (HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE) ON TOP OF THE WORLD Director: Location: Shooting Date/Period: VIVA FOREVER Director: Steve Box Animated video At that time videos were primarily aimed at a programme called The Chart Show. They would tell us that you’d hear the first verse and the first chorus and that was all that they were going to show on the programme. So we put all the energy, the most polished piece of animation, into that area. I thought it would be a good chance to do something really unusual, that was unexpected. The video, it turns out, does touch on loss, but not exactly the loss of life. It’s like the sadness of the song is leaving your childhood behind. I came up with this idea for the girls to be tin toy fairies that were like lost toys, which was a little bit of a comment on that modern pop: you buy it, you put your money in, you get your music and then shortly afterwards it will disappear. At the time, I was reading a lot of the old Rupert the Bear ones from the 1940s and 50s. Often Rupert comes across some weird living toy in the woods or some secret doorway in a tree. They’re quite surreal stories, quite magical. Steve Box - crackmagazine.net GOODBYE Director: Howard Greenhalgh Location: Buckinghamshire, UK - Mentmore Towers Shooting Date/Period: 1-2 November 1998 IT'S ONLY ROCK 'N' ROLL (BUT I LIKE IT) Director: Location: Shooting Date/Period: HOLLER Director: Jake Nava Location: Elstree, Hertfordshire UK - Elstree Studios Shooting Date/Period: 27-28 July 2000 LET LOVE LEAD THE WAY Director: Greg Masuak Location: Shooting Date/Period: HEADLINES (FRIENDSHIP NEVER ENDS) Director: Anthony Mandler Location: Iver, UK - Pinewood Studios Shooting Date/Period: This post has been edited by Babyboy**: 21st September 2022, 04:24 PM

Jim also featured in it, although the director didn't know he was my fiancé. I'd just sent off a picture with a note saying: I want this guy in the video. Hype Williams had had no objections. Yeah, he's good looking and cool. Okay. My make-up on the video was amazing applied by Missy's personal make-up artists. The Americans treat make-up as an art. They sculpted my face with dark and light contouring and made me look almost too perfect. But I took it all on board and went with it. My eyebrows were trimmed down and dyed light blonde and I had six different hairstyles during the shoot from braids to extensions. In the last scene my body was covered with luminous green make-up. Hype Williams joined in and painted the black cat stripes on my legs that completed the tiger look. He enjoyed it more that I did, but at 3 AM who gives a st? And all that body painting and messing about with my hair was worth it because the final cut of the video was wicked. Mel B - Catch A Fire WORD UP Director: Jimmy Gulzar/Wiz Location: Shooting Date/Period: I filmed that when I was pregnant, with all, like, laser dots on me so they could take my body movements and put it into a computer, so that's why it kind of looks like me a little bit, but it doesn't. It was my husband, really, who decided let's do a strange video, and he kind of looked at all the directors' showreels, and he chose Wiz, and he's just fantastic, and he just went for it with the video and story board and all that, and it just turned out brilliant, I couldn't've wanted a better video. But for the children I have done a different video, with the little guy, Mini-Me, from Austen Powers, cos you know the song's on the soundtrack, so I've done one that's allowed to be shown on kids' TV. Mel G - C3 Videotech Interview WORD UP (AMERICAN VERSION) Director: Matthew Williamson Location: Los Angeles Shooting Date/Period: My next stop was Los Angeles, to shoot a second video for my single Word Up featured on the soundtrack of the cult Austin Powers film The Spy Who Shagged Me. I'd given Jim the job of directing the original video. The end result was was an amazing piece of animation but a bit too wacky for the Americans, so I was advise to make something more mainstream for the US market. The second video was directed by Matthew Williamson and featured Mini Me, the comically evil dwarf character from the film. Williamson insisted that I had a facial the day before the shoot. Well I did have really bad acne at the time, a definitive sign of stress. Also I still had a bit of pregnant belly and was feeling insecure about my body. The stylist of the video had done the TLC video for Unpretty, so I was really pleased to be working with her. However I was very self-conscious about my figure and insisted on wearing a corset underneath my outfit. When she came to measure me for the tight-fitting silver catsuit that that I was planning to wear she tried to reassure me. What's wrong with you? You look fantastic, you don't need a corset. Mel B - Catch A Fire TELL ME Director: Nigel Dick Location: Shooting Date/Period: FEELS SO GOOD Director: Martin Weisz Location: Shooting Date/Period: LULLABY Director: Andy Orrick Location: Marrakech, Morocco Shooting Date/Period: Phoenix was with me in Morocco when I filmed the video for my third single Lullaby, the song I wrote for her with Biff when she was a baby. I found Marrakech quite a strange place, partly because absolutely everyone was dressed in the same way. It was like entering a different world. Mel B - Catch A Fire Really plain and simple. The song's all about Phoenix when she was born, so I've got little clips of Phoenix in it. I was a bit dubious about putting her in it but then I thought, "Well, the song's about her, she might as well be in it." It's just a simple, really chilled song. It's just me walking around the streets of Morocco and then I get home to my beach house - it's great. It's a bit more toned down than my other stuff. Mel B - Official website (2001) PROPER CRIMBO Director: Location: Shooting Date/Period: TODAY Director: Mark McConnell Location: Shooting Date/Period: FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE Director: Martin Weisz Location: Los Angeles, California USA - Universal Studios Hollywood Shooting Date/Period: This post has been edited by Babyboy**: 15th May 2023, 10:27 AM

We then shot Mel in a London studio. Along with the backgrounds plates, we shot a double in South Africa where we couldn't see Melanie's face and then created composite shots for the rest. If I remember, it was tough job, terrible weather, didn't stop raining for the whole time we were there and we barely got enough footage to fill 3 minutes. The dark look wasn't the original intention but a kind of working with the weather thing. Steven Green - Spice Circle FB page NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN Director: Francis Lawrence Location: Malibu, California USA Shooting Date/Period: I TURN TO YOU Director: Cameron Casey Location: Ibiza, Spain - Es Paradis Nightclub Shooting Date/Period: June 2000 IF THAT WERE ME Director: Cameron Casey Location: London UK - Connaught Bridge Shooting Date/Period: October 2000 HERE IT COMES AGAIN Director: Charles Infante Location: Los Angeles, USA Shooting Date/Period: November 2002 ON THE HORIZON Director: Howard Greenhalgh Location: Benalmádena, Spain Shooting Date/Period: April 2003 YEH YEH YEH Director: Ray Kay Location: Oslo, Norway Shooting Date/Period: June 2003 MELT Director: Location: Shooting Date/Period: NEXT BEST SUPERSTAR Director: Ray Kay Location: London, UK Shooting Date/Period: January 2005 BETTER ALONE Director: Mary McCartney Location: Shooting Date/Period: March 2005 FIRST DAY OF MY LIFE Director: Nikolaj Georgiew Location: Hanover, Germany Shooting Date/Period: August 2005 BETTER ALONE (SECOND VERSION) Director: Robert Broellochs Location: Mannheim, Germany Shooting Date/Period: December 2005 THE MOMENT YOU BELIEVE Director: Tim Royes Location: London UK, Ealing Studios Shooting Date/Period: February 2007 I WANT CANDY Director: Tim Royes Location: Shooting Date/Period: February 2007 CAROLYNA Director: Tim Royes Location: Shooting Date/Period: May 2007 THIS TIME Director: Adrian Moat Location: Shooting Date/Period: September 2007 UNDERSTAND Director: Avi Diamond/Jamie Milligan Location: Shooting Date/Period: WE LOVE TO ENTERTAIN YOU Director: Location: Shooting Date/Period: ROCK ME Director: Marcus Sternberg Location: Manchester, UK - Projekts Skatepark Shooting Date/Period: June 2011 THINK ABOUT IT Director: Howard Greenhalgh Location: Shooting Date/Period: WEAK Director: Michael Baldwin Location: London, UK Shooting Date/Period: LET THERE BE LOVE Director: Marcus Gerwinat Location: Brighton, UK Shooting Date/Period: I KNOW HIM SO WELL Director: Location: Shooting Date/Period: HE AIN'T HEAVY, HE'S MY BROTHER Director: Location: Shooting Date/Period: LOVING YOU Director: Jonny Kight Location: London, UK Shooting Date/Period: July 2013 COOL AS YOU Director: Location: Shooting Date/Period: ANYMORE Director: David East Location: Shooting Date/Period: DEAR LIFE Director: David East Location: Shooting Date/Period: HOLD ON Director: Location: Shooting Date/Period: ROOM FOR LOVE Director: Location: Shooting Date/Period: AROUND THE WORLD (LA LA LA LA LA) Director: Location: Shooting Date/Period: DON'T TALK JUST KISS Director: Location: Shooting Date/Period: HIGH HEELS Director: Sylvie Weber Location: Shooting Date/Period: For the video, my aunt is a hairdresser, so, from a really young age, I used to sweep the floor, and all the ladies used to give me a little bit of pocket money, [for] helping out and getting a cup of tea and stuff. It was something that I immediately warmed to. When you go to the hairdressers and get a facial or whatever, they're kind of your therapist, aren't they? It's just an environment where people chat, they talk about their problems, and, of course, they're getting a little bit of self-love, a little bit pampered. Getting all ready and going out to hit the town. It felt like it was a perfect starting point for the video — to sort of go out and let our hair down. The metal bodice I wear, It's such an incredible piece; Graham Cruz designs and makes these wonderful bodices. I had a piece for the Pride tour that I did with Sink the Pink, and [Cruz] molds it to you. But also, on the day of the video shoot, he was having to kind of cut and shape it, because it's quite sharp on the edges as well. Sometimes there are certain moves you do, and it's like, Oh, yeah, can't quite do that there. But I think the effect that they give, it's definitely worth a little bit of pain. Melanie C - nylon.com WHO I AM Director: Sylvie Weber Location: Shooting Date/Period: Making the video was traumatic. I’m not gonna lie. I didn’t realise how difficult it would be to face myself. I had to face so many painful memories. It wasn’t until I watched it back I found peace with it.

BuzzJack Enthusiast Joined: 7 September 2017 Posts: 519 User: 39,611	LOOK AT ME Director: Vaughan Arnell Location: Prague, Czech Republic Shooting Date/Period: March 1999 I wanted to make a video that could contain all the ideas and infuences that I've been writing down and soaking up for months. I brought the director Vaughan Arnell, who I knew from the Spice Girls, and I told him that I wanted to do something influenced by the Audrey Hepburn movies I'd been watching films like La Dolce Vita. Look At Me was about all the different masks we wear and the different roles women play. It was a chance to indulge my Hollywood fantasies. I appared as the virgin bride, the vamp, the bitch and the nun and it was all shot in black and white and set in Prague. Not your average pop video. For the freaky middle section we had an old horse-drawn hearse carring a coffin to the cemetery. The coffin was draped in a Union Jack with a wreath spelling out Ginger on the side. That was my dark sense of humor, Ginger is dead. I remember lying in the coffin in the freezing cold Prague with long red tresses and red ballet shoes. The idea was to look like the Pre-Raphaelite beauties I'd seen in Paintings like Flaming June or Ophelia. It wasn't supposed to be too serious but I did want want the video to make the point that I had moved on. And now if Ginger was finally dead, it seems only sensible and hygienic to bury her. Ginger went out in the way she would have liked, with a funeral on Top Of The Pops. Geri - Just For The Record MI CHICO LATINO Director: Doug Nichol Location: Sardinia, Italy Shooting Date/Period: July 1999 I wanted the video for Mi Chico Latino to be very different in style to Look At Me and not just for creative reasons. Look At Me was filmed in Prague in the freezing cold and was very long and complicated shoot. I was determined this time I was going to do the video somewhere warm. I also wanted it to be a simple and straightforward video because I realised that no one really understood or even notice the ideas I'd put into Look At Me. In a video it's blink and you miss it so why make it hard on myself? Instead I thought I'd cut to the chase and shoot the video off the coast of Sardinia on a yatch with some very cute male dancers. The location was stunning. Tha yatch, the weather and the sea were all beautiful. It was wonderful sitting around on the boat with just a few others aboard and we had some really lovely times relaxing in the sunshing and chatting on the warm nights. The dancers came on the yatch for the filming and then left, leaving the rest of us to have a meal before going to our cabins for the night. On the first day of filming, we were doing sequences on the beach and there were people raking the sand. I thought they were being over-meticulous about making the beach looking perfect. They didn't tell me until afterwards that the real reason was that there were jellyfish everywhere. In retrospect, it was probably best that I didn't know. Geri - Just For The Record LIFT ME UP Director: Howard Greenhalgh Location: Málaga, Spain Shooting Date/Period: October 1999 BAG IT UP Director: Dawn Shadforth Location: Shooting Date/Period: January 2000 IT'S RAINING MEN Director: Jim Canty/Jake-Sebastian Wynne Location: Shooting Date/Period: My ispiration for the video came one Sunday afternoon during the regular meetings of what I call the Serenity Sunday Sisterhood. The members of the sisterhood can vary but the hardcore at the time were me and two of my close London friends, Kit and Mil. The idea was that every Sunday afternoon we would relax, order a nice take-out e watch a few silly videos and be girly. Our favourite pastime was beading - making jewellery from different coloured beads for friends - and we could just spend hours ad hours doing it. I found it relaxing because I could switch off and feel normal, hanging out with my mates. This particular afternoon we dediced to have an eighties musical double bill of Fame and Flashdance and as we watched the movies, I started thinking how much fun it would be to go back to the era of leg-warmers and leotards for the video. The directors, Jake and Jim, wanted to make the video as similar in feel to the classic films that had inspired me as the possibily could. In pratice that meant trying to replicate the amazing performance of Jennifer Beal from the audition scene of Flashdance. I Had a lot of work to do. It was like a crash course of performing arts. The first step in the process was training. I always tended to over-exercise for a video performance but this time I was focusing on toning my body rather then burning off fat in an uncontrolled way. In the original scene Jennifer Beal is wearing a swimsuit but I wanted to go for a sexier look. A black bra-top and a skimpy knicker was the look I was after but it meant that even more of my body would be on show. This was reveaing as it go so I Worked very, very hard to get the body I wanted. The next phase was learning the dance moves. I had always seen myself as heavy and ungraceful, whatever the truth of my size at any given point, so I felt like I had to change my whole way of working with my body. The work I did with Luca Tommasini on the opening sequence was gruelling and that famous line from Fame kept running through my head: "Fame costs, and right here's where you start paying in sweat!". The shoot itself was the most difficult of my career by a long way. I felt like I was being stretched to the limit and, although it was very hard work, it felt great to be able to rise to the challenge. I was pulling off moves I would never have believed myself capable of. I learned to do the splits and the side-splits as well as the rock 'n' roll moves where I was being thrown in the air. I have to admit that we used a body double for the back flips but I didn't feel too bad about it because we actually had to bring in acrobats to pull that off. The final scene takes place out in the street in the pouring rain, just like the classic Fame routine. It was pretty late on a freezing cold night by the time we were ready to shoot but when it started to snow we had to hold on for another two hours until it stopped. Finally, in the early hours, we turned on the the rain machine and got ready to start. The fake rain was absolutely freezing but I hade to forget about that and get through the routine, remember the words and make it look like I was having fun. Thankfully I got it right first time and we could all go home and dry off. All the pain felt worth it when I saw the final video. I was blow away. Somehow Jake and Jim had managed to take me right back to the 1980s and onto the set of one of my favourite shows. The whole project - from recording the song to making the video - had been done in an insane hurry but fantastic teamwork had allowed us to pull it off. The wonderful thing was that, within weeks seemed, something of eighties revival kicked in and this was perfect for it. I am very thankful for It's Raining Men. I got very lucky.

Director: Greg Masuak Location: Lancaster Desert, California USA Shooting Date/Period: February 2001 The video was shot in LA. It was quite nerve-racking 'cause the actual idea for the video was mine. I worked with a great producer who let all my ideas run. We shot it in Lancaster Desert near LA and even though it looks really hot, it was actually freezing cold. I was in a little dress for two days and my mum and auntie came with me. They were standing at the side in massive jumpers and Puffa jackets! We had a really good laugh though. Emma - mykindamusic It was amazing. Again the idea came from me which was quite nerve wracking 'cos it was like 'how is this going to turn out?' I worked with a fantastic director and I just told him all my ideas and we elaborated on them and it was great fun but it was actually freezing. Can you believe that? It was freezing cold but the whole crew were great and I had a great laugh. Emma - dotmusic I'm scared of big dogs and I was shaking like a leaf. The video was my idea and when I was sitting there with a wolf behind me, I was thinking I must be mad. When the trainer brought them out I thought, they can't be that bad. But they were growling and barking and I thought, please just do this shot, get this over with. Unluckily, one of the dogs liked the cream that was on my legs and started licking my thigh, I just told the director, 'Film! Film! Quick.' The trainer was still there the whole time and was sitting just out of shot, while I was lying down with it. Suddenly she said, 'Stop, I don't like the look in his eye.' That was it, I was up and out of there.
