Laura Wilson & Danny James in Choice

Cloud 9 have uploaded a video clip, to their official The Tribe YouTube channel, it features Laura Wilson (The Tribe’s May) and Danny James (Martin/Zoot in The Tribe) getting it on! Check it out:

Though the video purports to be a Zay video (a possible Zoot & May relationship scene) I believe it is actually from an educational video called Choice.

Laura played the part of Shelly in the educational film (ref: Atlantis High interview), it was filmed by Little White Cloud Productions a subdivision of Cloud 9.

According to this article Little White Cloud was started up by Cloud 9 in 2000, so Choice was filmed around the same time that The Tribe series 2 was filmed and led to Laura Wilson landing the role of May in The Tribe.

The filming of it, the style, fits so well with the pre-Tribe episodes of series 2 it could easily fit into The Tribe story arc, except of course Martin wasn’t a player, he only had eyes for one girl, Trudy… You know the story by now!

Fleur recently took a turn on the other side of the camera, producing a film. “It has been an incredible experience, working over there with American crews,” she says. She says it really helps to have someone who knows her so well close at hand. “It’s good to have a sounding board with someone who knows you, who’s going through the same experiences. It’s a sensory overload in LA. Nothing is easy.”

Fleur Saville also returned to the Shortland Street, playing Libby Jeffries, as part of the shows recent 20th birthday celebration.
