The client has said that they can not use images or music relating to Blur or Oasis.

They are thinking along the lines of a tag line like:

"If you thought Brit Pop was all about Blur and Oasis, then you missed all this!"

.... something like that anyway.

The idea we have at the moment still works, but we have to play down the fight at the party scene. As long as we keep the characters generic enough then there isn't a problem.

They also don't have any grunge music on their label, so we will have to produce some royalty free grunge sound ourselves. A chat with the music tech students might be in order.
