00:10Life is a thrill. I think it's all summed up in the name.
00:13Several months ago we had a meeting about creating a new image for Brendan and for Brendan's tour.
00:22The big thing within the show, the big song we're using is Life is a chill, the end of the
00:26title,
00:27just so that it's... So it really is Bond?
00:30It is Bond. I think the Bond character sums it up with where it's a bit naughty, it's a bit
00:35brisque,
00:35but it's still very classy, very strong.
00:38Sven and I go way back, he photographed my wedding, he photographed my engagement.
00:44He's got a continual passion for what he does, for dance and for getting things right.
00:49We've got the classic one with the legs, we take the crossbow out, so very sexy legs going up.
00:56The bottom, the top, the frame, and then Brendan's face was in a classic kind of Bond action pose.
01:12I want to involve Neil Cunningham in this because I work with him a lot, he's great.
01:17He's a stylist, he's an art director, he does props.
01:21So sketches are purely to convey the idea to other people, because I know what's in my head.
01:27Sometimes I wish I didn't.
01:28We sketch it up so everyone can see what it's hopefully going to look like.
01:33Like, the girl with the skirt sort of moving in the air under the skirt makes the skirt move.
01:39So that's the dance element, but then it's still got the strong frontal image.
01:43Three, two, one, go!
01:51Hello Magazine, myself and my wife go way back.
01:54It means a lot to me to have a relationship like that with a magazine you can trust and relationships
01:59like that, they don't come overnight.
02:01They build over time and I'm very lucky to have that, I suppose.
02:09You take a few ideas from old James Bond stuff and you add a few new things in,
02:15and then you twist it around in a way that's going to work for Brendan and brings in the dance
02:18element.
02:20So, you know, we're kind of James Bond meets Mad Men meets Fred Astaire.
02:27There's giant mirror balls and all kinds of stuff like that, so we've got a bit of silver and a
02:31bit of gold going on.
02:37Can you imagine that it's the rain?
02:40Pho, I saw dancing at a demonstration and there was something about her.
02:47In fact, my wife and I both went, wow, she's got something very, very special.
02:51And I was so excited when she said she was available and would like to come on board.
02:56I think we are very, very lucky to have it.
02:58Pho's look was classic Bond, very much a 60s Bond girl.
03:03Some of it was silhouettes where she's wearing next to nothing.
03:07Everybody seemed quite happy with that.
03:11My brother is very much a part of what I do.
03:15I love having him on the show.
03:16He was part of my last tour and I like seeing him light up when he's on stage.
03:22I honestly believe he's the happiest when he's out there performing.
03:34New image for the tour, I really wanted to be a step up from last year.
03:38The last show had everything and more that I could have ever asked from it.
03:43But new challenges mean step up again.
03:47Three, two, one, go!
03:57In the Bond tuxedo, just standing very, very cool.
04:02Yeah.
04:02And you see the outline of the leg.
04:05Yeah.
04:06Touretting against Brendan.
04:07And then all of the arms are coming around and they're all holding or holding his head.
04:21So we have our shoot for Hello.
04:23We have our shots for Brendan's tour.
04:25It went incredibly well.
04:27I mean, everybody's been unbelievably brilliant and professional.
04:37I got to give up.
04:39But I bet I got to give up on the tapi.
04:50I'll answer them.
04:54Let's wait for Boat Tuxedo.
