The VHS - HD transition:
Wild Love official video was shot in HD using a Canon 5dmk2, a 24-70 and a macro lens for the close ups.
Once edited and colour graded the video was then exported to VHS before being re-imported back to digital. This effect was done to give the video an authentic late 80's early 90's aesthetic. Filters could have simply been applied but Director Gavin Kilduff felt that it would not have the same organic feel as VHS.
Once completed it was then cut back with the HD at the half way point. This contrast between the VHS and HD is to pay homage to RP's 80s classic 'Addicted to Love' while embracing that now in the year 2014 these five young girls can rock out while embracing the originality of the 1985 iconic video.

Formed in 2011, five passionate musicians; Niamh Sharkey, Dara Farrelly, Eleanor Rogers, Sarah McLaughlin and Jenny McKeown, came together to form what can only be described as the future of Irish Indie / Rock music.
Hailing from Drogheda, Co. Louth and a recent addition to the live music scene, Featuring X have already "wowed" those who have been lucky enough to catch this incredible live act who deliver an energetic performance from the onset and throughout.
Since the release of their debut E.P in June 2013 the quintet have played a number of gigs and festivals North and South of the country including two sets at Ireland's leading music festival "Electric Picnic Arts and Music Festival".
With frequent local and nationwide press coverage and regular radio plays on nationwide radio;the bands endeavors and introduction to the Irish music scene was met with rave reviews.
With only three original songs released, their second music video for radio-friendly 'The Boat' reached over 10,000 views on Youtube within one week online, views continue to climb.
In October 2013, the Louth rockers headed for NuMu Productions studios to record a single titled 'Wild Love' for release on 26th June 2014.
'Wild Love' music video pays homage to Robert Palmer's 'Addicted to Love'.
With a large and productive team behind the girls and the Leaving Cert exams nearly finished; the musical career of the five-piece has yet to begin!
If ever you have been told to watch this space - this is the time to take that literally.
