My goal was to make something people from all over London could recognise as home, even if it\u2019s not always obvious where you are. There are the bait spots, like Southbank and Mile End Station, but many of the locations in the video don\u2019t actually exist. I\u00a0just used real shopfronts and spray tags (big up <a href=\"https:\/\/theface.com\/music\/goldie-interview-10foot-graffiti-the-face-magazine-cover\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10Foot<\/a>) to make it feel like London.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What\u2019s your favourite spot in London? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If I\u00a0could teleport anywhere in London right now, it\u2019d be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lennysapizza\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lenny\u2019s Apizza<\/a> in The Bedford Tavern on Seven Sisters Road. I\u00a0actually modelled that pub and popped it in a\u00a0couple of shots in the video.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What\u2019s in your London starter pack (for tourists or visiting aliens)? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a38\u00a0pint, a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/travspresents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Travs Presents<\/a> event and a\u00a0tight grip on your phone.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What was the hardest section to create in this trailer? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Either the helicopter shot of the car zooming through Piccadilly Circus or the final car crash. I\u00a0changed that car crash maybe six or seven times. And in classic fashion, put the first version of it back in 20\u00a0minutes before uploading it.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What was the most fun to create? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Probably the South Bank shots. When I\u00a0was outside of London in my early teens, I\u00a0visited London with my boys to skate all the time. So that became my image of London. Southbank, Mile End skatepark, Meanwhile Gardens\u2026 So it was just fun to animate something there, really took me back.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Any easter eggs we might have missed? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">There\u2019s some spray paint work from two artists that I\u00a0haven\u2019t seen anyone spot yet. One is tricky to catch because it\u2019s on a\u00a0moving \u2013 and flipping \u2013 object, while the other shows up on one or two walls. Most of the other easter eggs are subtle, designed to sell the scene subconsciously, like the metal \u200b\u201claughing gas\u201d canisters in the <a href=\"https:\/\/theface.com\/style\/inside-hatton-garden-turbo-charged-watch-market-trilogy-jewellers-gmg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hatton Garden<\/a> shot. You don\u2019t notice they\u2019re there but if things like that weren\u2019t dotted all over the scenes, you\u2019d notice that they were absent. A\u00a0full easter egg breakdown is on the way!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Do you think we\u2019ll really get GTA 6\u00a0next May?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I really hope so. But that said, if they need more time, I\u00a0wouldn\u2019t be mad about it. Rockstar delivers unparalleled gaming experiences. I\u00a0trust that they only say that if it\u2019s necessary to hit our unreasonable expectations!<\/p>\n<p>        <script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Which neighbourhoods did you primarily focus on and why?
