ICH vs Franch

in march of last year (2010) i accompanied some friends ICH, a british punk band, to France on their mini tour with RedFlag77.. this was the resulting footage.
it was all shot on a shitty handy-cam as is probably obvious from the quality. there was quite a lot of it that was completely unusable. So yeah the quality is awful but u can get an idea of what it was like.

have to say this wasn’t an environment i was at all used to and there were definitely moments that i stood out as a punk rock tourist, but i had a lot of fun.

Triune Gods - Seven Days Six Nights - Preview #3

The latest promo ive made for Triune Gods release ‘Seven Days Six nights’..

this was my first real attempt at motion tracking and apart from a few glitches in one of the shots im pretty pleased with how it turned out.. all the original footage was shot by Scott Da Ros in Montreal with the editing and compositing by myself..

the album is available digitally world wide on amazon and itunes or u can order a copy here or here.. and if your lucky you might be able to get your hands on the limited edition 7” single of “Same Train”, a track i cowrote with Scott..

So about a week ago now i spent a few days in the company of Mr Honey shooting footage for a couple of music videos we’d been planning to make since about july.. After 2 and 1/2 long productive days we had shot two music videos for one of his projects Murmur Breeze and a few live clips for A Band of Buriers.. not bad.. I’m pretty excited about these two videos, they’re looking great so far..

I still have alot of editing/compositing to get through before any of it will be viewable but for now heres a few photos..

Triune Gods - Seven Days Six Nights - Preview #1

This is a promo i made recently for Triune Gods’ forthcoming album.. they are Sibitt and Bleubird on vocals “who express many feelings and topics in their native tongues” and Scott Da Ros on production (with, in my opinion, some of his best work).. this record sounds amazing!

You can pre-order a copy here, and the first 300 will come with a limited edition 7” of the track “Same Train”, a track i cowrote with Scott (with an instrumental b side)…. Go get it!!

More previews coming soon….

Dome projection..

Fri, 10 Dec 2010 23:39:00 +0000

I’ve been playing around with ways to make 360 video without the use of an expensive oneshot lens for a while now with mixed results (u can see a few examples here). More recently, because of space and the help of Jonny Buffalo, I’ve been working on ways to project them in an immersive environment (on a £0 budget!) and thanks to the amazing work of Paul Bourke i finally got it working.. so after a disastrous day of trying to show off our work in a 30ft dome at Colchester free festival failed, Jonny and myself went about making our own little dome to play around with….

as the dome’s obviously too small to fit anybody inside (comfortably anyway) we made it out of translucent material so it could be viewed from the outside. its only really a way to test the projections for a larger environment, but i quite like the result anyway and its led to new ideas for uses of the technique.

I’ll upload some clips of it in action soon but for now heres a few tests we did with some of Jonny Buffalo’s 360 photographs:
