Leddra Chapman’s new video for her song “A little Easier”

A Little Easier  is the haunting new single to come from our lovely Leddra Chapman’s debut album Telling Tales. More dramatic than the video for her previous single Story but equally captivating, this seductive visual to accompany the song is beautifully shot and emotionally charged with all the frustrations of love that everyone can relate to.  We hope that this new video has you as excited as we are about the single release on March 15th !

Behind the scenes of Leddra Chapman’s new music video for “A little easier”

Last week, besides going to college and doing various interviews, our gorgeous and talented Quiksilver Woman Leddra Chapman also shot the video for her next single, ” A Little Easier” in Brighton. All went very well, despite the fact she had to lip sync to a version of the song that is ten times the original speed for a slo-mo effect! Check it out:

Recording The ‘STORY’ Video in Hossegor

Anna wearing White Plain dress and Filmstrip scarf

A few weeks ago i jet setted back to hossegor to shoot the music video for “Story”! The video is basically me telling a story through polaroid pictures, i’m taking them throughout the video and there are a few quirky scenes with me surrounded by paper planes, climbing amongst the trees, rocks …. one small roof top! There are lots of scenes on the beach and of course i was wearing the Fall collection by Quiksilver Women!!! they are sooo beautiful!!!!

.

1st day of the video shoot was all on location, and it was such a nice day! Me and Tara were up at 6 and started make up at half past! First we headed into Bayonne, a beautiful town near Biarritz. We did some shots of me taking polaroids by the lighthouse and some shots by the sea! The town was really beautiful, too. We then did some shots of me in the car taking pictures on the road through the country side! there was one scene where we had two cars going alongside eachother, cameraman Dan in one, me in the other!!!! Was hard to keep a straight face!
It was a loooong day and we all caught a (reasonably) early night! =)

.

The next day was all about the lip syncing- it was quite a surreal thing to get my head around and i cant tell u how nervous i was!!! i wouldnt let anyone watch for the first hour i was so embarrased! but as the day went on i got more an more confident and just treated it as if it were a live performance and i think that helped a lot!   Here are some piccies!!! Cant Wait to Show you all the Video   :)

When Quiksilver celebrates female creativity…

.

It’s not that we wouldn’t appreciate such things as International Women’s Day, but the thing with us Quiksilver Women is just that we are independent females and we don’t need others to set up occasions to celebrate ourselves. That’s why we European Quiksilver Ambassadors gathered up four days after 2009’s Internationel Women’s day to celebrate female creativity at its best! Cuz everyday is a Quiksilver women’s day!
