Toby attended the 'Make a Music Video for Zed' programme at eTime where children created a music video for one of New Zealand's hottest bands - Zed. The video footage was shot by one group of children, then another group took the footage, added in more footage of their own to create a storyline, then edited it together to create a finished music video.
