Dotty (10) from Lancashire won the competition and her design was incorporated into the final video treatment. She was joined by two runners-up; Lyla (8) from Buckinghamshire and Freya (12) from Leeds who attended the music video shoot to create the new music video for New Hope Club.
On the shoot, the children learned all about lighting and sound and made their presence felt, ordering cast and crew around to make sure the video matched the storyline of the winner’s vision. During the filming, the children received special mentorship from engineering professionals about working in the music industry.
Snippets of the new music video from New Hope Club, engineered by children, were previewed exclusively on Blue Peter on 6 December.
