Unused Phil Parker footage from “6:57″

Rob Crawford has just uploaded a short edit of unused Phil Parker footage, gathered whilst filming Phil’s section for the excellent 2009 Portsmouth and Southampton scene video “6:57″.

Rob had this to say about the Converse UK flow rider – “Phil had the least amount of time when we were filming for 6:57. Starting a few months behind everyone else, then later moving to Bristol where he finished his part over the space of a few weekends. Here are some offcuts and other clips that were lost along the way.”
