The basic process was simple, as we have access to a large, professionally lit drama space it seemed reasonable that we use it for the band shots, because we could control the space, ambient lighting and costumes it was easy to film on multiple occasions without risking embarrassing continuity errors, the only problems we encountered came in getting our gear to the studio, and a minor drum malfunction...
The problem with logistics was met with Sam's Dad's van, which we easily slotted out drum kit into, we also made it easier on ourselves by not plugging in our amps, saving us the effort of bringing extra cables. Of course the down side to this being that the sharp-eyed out there will spot that our amps aren't plugged in. The second problem to come from the 'band' stage of filming came when Louis's drum kit fell apart, literally. Nothing some chewing gum couldn't fix.
When filming in public dressed as 6 foot rabbits the problems become more obvious, with a curious public and motorists who were far to liberal with their use of car horns it was difficult to get a decent shot without it being ruined by a passing driver yelling "RABBITS". Cheers for that.
Aside from these minor hiccups though the filming process went without a hitch, now onto editing...
