Hello.

I have seen some photographs of the band taken in the studio, they date from October 1980 and correspond to the Flash Gordon recording sessions (the link is: queenvinyls.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/dzn3rclx0aak7ql.jpg).

As you can see there is a man with a video camera. Has anyone ever seen video footage of these sessions? Would the cameraman be from Queen Productions? Or for some TV program? Could these be images taken from the day the video clip was recorded? I think the clothes the boys are wearing are the same ones they wear in the video clip.

Does anyone have any information about this?

Kind regards.

The photos were taken by John Henshall at Anvil Studios in London on 22nd October 1980, the same day the promotional video for "Flash" was filmed (directed by Mike Hodges). I remember seeing a clip of the band in the control room somewhere, very short and without sound...but I can't remember where at all, maybe in some documentary.
