Brandon Flowers
Crossfire
A former stuntman, Nash was very in tune with the environment and used his background skills to create the filmic piece. Unlike most directors' treatments, Nash produced an edited version of the video starring friends to use in pre-production. He even had one of his bearded friends starring as Charlize's sexy character.

The video puts Charlize in the role of savior, fighting sword-wielding Ninjas. The main effects application was rig removal from all the various production stunts. Lead Flame Artist Andy Bate worked to remove heads, animate flying ninja star weapons, detonate and rebuild windows and paint flames, amongst other effects.
Andy was very pleased with the result, adding "It was a fantastic job. Nash is a really dedicated director and his stuntman background make the experience an incredible collaboration."
