Shot a short music video Monday past, pass.... which one is it? Check it out. Managed to get a picture before my attention became consumed with the lights:

Will be editing the video as well for artiste Mimi Storm. Did it to test out new gear really. Have to say my new tripod is a beaut. Davis and Sanford. Provista. Definitely worth it for you DSLR shooters and killers.
May have to take the gloves off to get something decent. Which was never the plan, but I'll take it as it comes.

Working on a few projects at the moment, personal and client-based, for some decent brands and awesome people. Would say things are looking up, but don't want to jinx it. Jinx!

Sum up,
My Kingdom for a horse!

Fire The Mob's "Get Lucky" Music Video

Sum up,
What do you think? Or ...yeah. that's cool too.

"Aao Na" (Come To Me)- The Additional Edit

Recently did a corrective edit for a hindi music video for Avina (avinamusic.com). Simple enough, a bit of swapping scenes, simple grading and tweeking. The video was shot in LA I believe, and to see such vibrant sun, sand and sea made me terribly homesick. Avina is on Youtube, so you can check her out and support.
Here's a screenshot:

"Irish Stranger" Official Music Video

Pistoleros! Scrulove's "Irish Stranger" went live a few days ago. Stars Danielle Carlyn. Directed and Edited by @bluntspear. Check it out here:

All That Remains' "Asking Too Much"

Hey Pistoleros!
How's it going out there in Internetland?
Thought I'd share a music video I entered into a Talenthouse Competition hosted by All That Remains and Razor & Tie. It's for ATR song 'Asking Too Much'. Cool track, and thought I'd take part, as I haven't really done anything music video-wise for the kind of rock/metal crowd. But it proved to be fun. Although spent 5 days illustrating in photoshop and animating/editing/rendering because I saw the competition last minute. All strenuous stuff. I had only an hour and 1 minute to spare after I uploaded it.

Voting is now live, and I need your help to get noticed. Follow through and have a look-see:

The video is embeded on their for you to watch, or have a double take and watch the video here too:



Sum up,
It's my 50th video apparently. That must be a milestone somewhere. Right, YouTube? Keep rocking people! :)

ATR Illustration 'BF Slave'.

Check out the digital inking of an image I did. Building and I may just pull this off if I concentrate. Really hard.

Rrrrr. *concentration face*

Heroine Badass

Illustration for a quick music video I'm hoping to get done in the next few days. Fingers crossed anyway. Just dividing the illustration into its respective elements:

Elma Fudd "Bailiff Season"

Irish Stranger

Currently putting a music video together, taking a bit longer than it should, only because I have been back and forth with other work. But I suspect this week it will be done. MOQ sound edit is this Friday. Postponed again but it'll get done.

Check out the still of the video I am working on. Scrulove's Irish Stranger:

See you on the next side.

Now there is an iron gate where the fence used to be.

"The Lightning Strike" storyboards

Check out the storyboards that I did for the making of "The Lightning Strike" music video. It's apart of the @SnowPatrolBand and Talenthouse competition. Not many of the scenes I imagined changed during the animatic/ story art phases, but I thought it would be interesting to show you all a little bit of the process behind the madness. May put the animatic up as well. But for now:

My story art is usually bare bones when I am the only one that will be using it as reference, FYI.

Sum up,

"Babylon is Burning"

Currently working on the storyboard/ animatic for a music video in the works. Also have another animation, music video and possible animation music video in the works. So keeping my head down for the next couple weeks.

I tend to do story art really crudely when I do it for my own references. Check it out:

"V" Music Video

V.  Check out this tyrannical edit of a music video for artiste scrulove:




Likes and comments welcomed. If not for me, for Churchill. We all know he loves guys like me... what he said what?... like rabies to a dog?!..... mustard gas against who?... oh never mind. He'd probably hate my guts. But dibs on the public domain footage on him. I can chop and use his image however I like.

Sum up,

Matchboxing it

The #storyboardwarlord met up with David- the guy that took LEGO bricks and made this epic awesomeness sodomised by superb greatness:




Yeah so we met up and he needed some boards so managed to get something done for his next production:

Storyboards for 'Cry' Music Video

A lot of prep work went into making the 'Cry' vid for Phalla C, so thought I'd share some of that process. Being a story artist had to put my hand in it. Here are a few boards I think you'll like it.

Remi and I even had to shoot a separate film to be used as the projected image on my trusty Vado that I won in a competition. Ah, karma, stars in alignment and all that qi ish.

Sum up,

A portal to an alternative universe that is the same. A paradox complex enough to give you an aneurysm!

King/Wilson Music Vids

Been on set with Remi King on this Phalla C 'Cry' music video shoot and it went well. Stil, DOP and Louise, Producer were a big help. Goddamn troopers. We are in the trenches, bizoy! Went in.Went well. Nothing quite the same as seeing ideas you help birth grow into something great. We're gonna start editing that mofo next week, also along with a promo video we both shot for Phalla C a week or so prior to the shoot. GFX is on its way on that too. I'm trying, dudes.

Sum up,
Hella short after such a long respite, I know. Also designed a book cover and concept art for a feature which you'll soon soon. Promise. Cross your heart.

STAK'S How We Roll: The Pelvic Grind of the Urban Creatives

Yours truly and Remi King did some shooting on Monday...or was it Tuesday? Music Video time, got help from a cool team of people. Stak's How We Roll is the video and Remi, with some aid from me came up with a cool narrative that ended up getting scrapped so we went out on a strong, performance video. Well, because I am terrible with names (Hugh and Jack I believe) you can see their lovely faces:



All in all great laughs, great talks. I know I will be seeing em again. Video is going through a rigorous edit session Friday/Saturday, so should be completed soonish then we do the rounds- TVchannels and all that jazzy jazz.

Sum up,
You know that weird state of being where someone shows contempt but tries everything to get your attention to the fact they still exist? Never understood that. Anyways, I have one thing to say to the Creatives out there...'create'. For better for worse. Chaos or harmony. Simply be.
