	18th May 2002 Frankie Machine video shoot cracks off today. It rains, it shines, there is a military vehicle display at the main location...many side steps later the footage takes up residence in the camera. We adopt the unorthodox approach of stopping for dinner and even having time for a drink after. That's what comes of shooting a video comprised of only 10 shots. Computer starts cracking its editing knuckles...
