who are you and what do you do?
we're a production duo called Brown Ted. Brown Ted is Hayley Gray & Kate Goddard. We make videos, put on gigs and throw parties. When we're not Brown Ted, Hayley works in production at Weta Workshop & Kate is an events manager.
What gets you up in the morning?
Lately it's been the sound of hammer and nails as our flatmate, Fish, has been building the set for our latest project, a music video for the Thomas Oliver Band. But coffee always helps too!
What inspires your work?
Music & mates. We're lucky enough to be surrounded by incredibly talented people from all walks of life. They constantly challenge and enrich our work.
What is your most exciting achievement?
Definitely our latest project, The Thomas Oliver Band's video for 'Bad Talkin' Man'. We think we nailed the brief; it's a sexy, playful song and we had fun with wind up toys, fashion and the band's gorgeous instruments to establish an enchanting and edgy narrative which builds to an epic, unexpected ending. The band, crew and actress, Renee Cataldo, were awesome to work with - it was such a fun shoot.
Tell us about your school ball dress:
Kate: I was lucky enough to wear a classic floral party dress with a big black bow and matching blue suede shoes... they're both still in my wardrobe!
Hayley: I wore a red latino dress I'd got while on an exchange in Brazil... it was based on a dress JLo wore at a concert!
make us a playlist of three songs that you have repeat at the moment
Bon Iver - Perth. The new album is beautiful and this song is such triumphant introduction.
Dave Matthews Band - 'I Did It.' A killer song from one of our favourite bands.
The Thomas Oliver Band - 'Bad Talkin' Man'. We have been saturated in this song since we started working on the music video, but, funnily enough, we're still not sick of it!
