I was originally going to make a horro trailer in Media Studies, that began like Always does just before Erasure kicks in...then one day, whilst enjoying sixth form life and sitting on my bed playing House of the Dead 2 during school time my friend noticed my Erasure CD and asked me to put it on as he hadn't heard Always in a while. We did and whilst it was playing we were discussing my trailer and I jokingly said, "What if after he shouts out 'Are you home?' he just dances in the front room to this son?" and it cracked my friend up, leading me to putting that bit in the trailer (it would've got scary AFTER the dancing with the cat) and the following weekend I invited James round for help with a film which was just a practice for my trailer (kinda like a video storyboard) which, after editing, I decided I liked so much that I gave it credits and put it online. BOOM! The rest is, as they say, HISTORY!
