Video

The video for "The Right Time" directed by Kevin Bray was based on 1960s television. The black and white rooms and mirrored visual tricks gave the video an old fashioned and psychedelic feel and the style of the bands clothes and hair styles added to 1960s look. Visual tricks was responsible for both mirrored effects tricks which showed the band as being "giant" compared to various props and items in the video. Whilst the band left the video design to the experts, various pieces that they did not like were taken out and replaced. Jim also mentioned that this was a tiring time as the making of this video and the video for "Forgiven, Not Forgotten" which was shot the day before resulted in two very long days. They had to get up at 6:00 in the morning to be at the studio for the start of shooting at 7:00 and worked on both days through to 11:00 at night.
