We had the idea to feature torches in our video ever since analysing 'Marka' By Dub Phizix. We felt that it helped reinforce the theme of exploring and location scouting in our video. The idea links very closely to the 'I Remember' video by Deadmau5.
I created medieval style torches by wrapping flammable fabric around a metal rod. I tied it with metal brake cable so that the torch would remain safe to hold and use, so the fastenings would not melt at a high temperature. We used high quality zippo fuel as our accelerant for a clean flame and a safer ignition.
We took extra care to only film after a day of heavy rain. The damp environment was a lot safer to record with fire around than a dry one, so that fire could not catch or spread and kept the location safe.
