The feature film "You Instead" was filmed live at T in the Park 2010. The film tells the story of the lead singers of two bands – Luke Treadaway and Natalia Tena – who get handcuffed together before their performances. The film features brief appearances from various performers and bands at the 2010 festival: Paolo Nutini, "Biffy Clyro", "The Proclaimers", Calvin Harris, Paloma  Faith, Newton Faulkner (has a scripted scene), Al Green, Jo Mango (has a scripted scene), Heather Suttie, "Kassidy" and "The View". "You Instead" was filmed in 5 days at the 2010 Festival. As the movie was filmed on site the cast and crew were constantly reacting to their surroundings and incorporating them into the performances. The cast and crew camped backstage at the festival. The film was edited daily after shooting was finished for the day as scenes could not be re-shot after the festival was finished. Director David Mackenzie said one of the factors of him casting the  two lead parts was that Treadaway and Tena both have musical experience. Two of the songs performed in the film were written by Treadaway and Tena. Transport.
