Palmhouse Media coordinated and delivered the UK production segment for Namewee’s World Cup-inspired music video featuring Thierry Henry.
Challenge
Namewee, one of Malaysia’s most influential artists, was producing a music video ahead of the 2022 Qatar World Cup centred around a young football fan inspired by Thierry Henry. Palmhouse Media was brought in to coordinate and deliver the UK segment of the production alongside the wider international project team.
The shoot came with significant logistical pressure. Locations changed at short notice, severe weather conditions forced constant on-the-day adjustments, and Thierry Henry’s schedule allowed only a limited filming window. Multiple crews, agents and stakeholders needed to stay coordinated throughout, requiring adaptability and quick decision-making at every stage.
Solution
Palmhouse Media worked closely with Namewee’s creative team to coordinate and deliver the UK shoot within a tight and fast-changing production schedule.
We sourced London filming locations at speed, assembled a professional crew and maintained clear communication across departments and time zones throughout the production. With limited time available on set with Thierry Henry, schedules and shot lists were adapted in real time to maximise every filming opportunity.
Despite the complexity, the production ran smoothly and delivered a strong collection of cinematic visuals that supported the emotion and momentum of the wider story.
Results
The finished music video achieved more than 7 million views on YouTube and connected with audiences worldwide. The project went on to win eight international awards, including Best Production at the International Music Video Awards.
The production demonstrated Palmhouse Media’s ability to deliver high-pressure creative work within a larger international production environment, while maintaining strong production quality and efficient coordination throughout the shoot.
