When Apple asked me to make the music video for The Beatles' last single, I was very reluctant. I thought my next few months would be a hell of a lot more fun if that tricky task was somebody else’s problem, and I could be like any other Beatles fan, enjoying the night-before-Christmas anticipation as the release of a new Beatles song and music video approached – in 1995, l loved the childlike excitement I felt as the release of Free As A Bird was inching closer.
I could have that experience once again – all I had to do was say no to The Beatles.
