Live promo / draft

Van Morrison Alumni Band live: performance shots for the band promo, draft cut.

Keys, horns, vocals and a big field of people. Filmed from where the band stands.

The brief.

Performance footage from the side of the stage and out front across the set, cut into a promo. The stills below are frames from that footage.
