He’s an English film director known by his work in music, fashion, beauty industry and commercials. Charlie's creative work for Placebo is very long. In addition to the aforementioned documentary, he has made several song videos, such as Exit Wounds, A Million Little Pieces, Placebo videos from events for Mercedes Benz and, above all, a film that is still carefully hidden from fans - Placebo: Alt Russia.

"I've been working with Placebo since 2008. I was brought in by Alex Weston their manager to make something of the band's personal footage when they recorded Battle for the Sun. I edited a film together that they liked and it went from there. It was a time when YouTube and video in general was becoming more and more important and Alex wanted someone to make several different types of films for the new album campaign. I started then making everything from interviews for their EPK to behind the scenes videos of their rehearsals and a small multicam shoot of their showcase of that album. I then edited all of that footage into a short 10 minute documentary aiming to be shown on Channel 4 in the UK when they had a late night music show called 4Music. After that was picked up by Channel 4 and was aired I went to Alex and pitched a feature documentary that became Coming Up for Air that was premiered at Sundance London in 2012. Since then I have made various films in different guises for the band.

For a better description of this Targett-Adams' work, I will use the words of a review from one magazine:
๐ A film that documents Placebo’s world tour in 2009 and 2010, Charlie Targett-Adams’ Coming Up For Air is essential viewing for fans of the band.
To promote their album ‘Battle for the Sun’, music band Placebo embarked on a lengthy tour that saw them playing diverse locations all over the globe. The film follows the band on tour, illustrating a life of travelling, preparation, performances and interviews…
Placebo: Coming Up For Air is a documentary that is based solely on the tour, rather than being a biographical look at the band. This is not to say that elements of the band’s history are not touched upon under the wider remit. Nonetheless, the emphasis remains on their tour and aspects relating to this.
Charlie Targett-Adams crafts the film well. There appears to be a considered method to how the documentary pans out. Different topics are compartmentalised so that each area is dealt with in its own segment.
Owing to this, the film feels like it has more of a narrative than some other documentaries.
Throughout the film, the band members are interviewed about touring, their music, and dealing with the side effects of their profession.
Unsurprisingly, Brian Molko dominates in terms of screen time. Insights offered by Molko and other members of the band are interesting for the most part.
Perhaps most fascinating are the scenes focused on drummer Steve Forrest. As a relative newcomer, his views seem both objective and subjective in talking about the band and the impact the tour has had on him personally.๐

"There are a lot of really intense moments [on the DVD documentary]. There was a bit where I had a really big breakdown at the end of the tour. We decided to leave it in, since it shows a lot of the realness of what we went through. The sad and dark shit show people what it’s really like on tour. But there are also the good times, when we’re a family and having fun. It shows both sides of it. People want to see what's really going on, so we’re happy to show them that. There are a lot of really intimate moments in there that you wouldn’t normally see."

"Besides capturing Placebo’s final tour performance at London’s Brixton Academy, “We Came in Pieces” also features a short film called “Trigger Happy Hands” as well as a documentary, “Coming Up For Air,” directed by Charlie Targett-Adams.
“We just kind of let him have pretty much access all areas,” Olsdal recalls. “Some bits in there are still uncomfortable for us to view, but a the same time it shows what life is like on the road. It’s not all fun and games; there’s good days and there’s times when the weight of the world crashes on you, when you’re flying 13 hours and get right off the plane and have a show that night, and you can’t put on the show you expect from yourself and that you want to give the people. It shows that side of touring life as well.”
