Jackson Ducasse - 'Lawdy Rolla' Music Video Director

For episode 10 of the podcast’s third season, I had the pleasure
of speaking with Jackson Ducasse - a filmmaker
who has collaborated with many incredible artists including Dua
Lipa, Calum Scott, James Bay, Clean Bandit, New Order, Imagine
Dragons, Isaac Gracie, Kelis, Professor Green, Amy Macdonald,
Jess Glynne, John Legend, Blondie, Katie Melua and Nile
Rodgers. 


Jackson was brought on board by Weller HQ and Parlophone to
direct the video for Paul’s latest single, a bluesy, raw
reinterpretation of a little-known track called Lawdy
Rolla.


The brief? Keep it stylish, simple, and true to Weller’s vision.
Shot entirely at Black Barn, the video uses bold colour backdrops
and split-screen edits to showcase the instrumental complexity
and the cool, effortless energy of Weller, longtime collaborator
Steve Cradock and sax player, Kevin Haynes.


We dive into his behind-the-scenes work on the striking video for
Paul Weller’s latest single, discussing how the project came
about, filming at Black Barn Studio, the challenges of directing
music legends, and the thoughtful creative process behind it all.
From stylish split-screens to Savile Row suits, it's a
fascinating insight into bringing Paul's vision to life on
screen.
