Short Update

Once again time has got the better of us and we've fallen behind on keeping the blog up to date. This is primarily because logging into blogger is something that falls way down our list of priorities. However to combat this every increasing 'blog blackout' we will be moving it over to Tumblr in the near future to ensure that Ryan can produce tandem updates on his personal blog and our company one. This means further updates more frequently and a closer look at what we are up to on a weekly basis.

Since returning from North America we've been busy putting together the new video for Sharks (due to be released shortly) and also shot a brand new video for Brighton indie-rockers 'Jumping Ships'. Also in post-production is the Crime In Stereo DVD project that has been utilising a 14 person strong team from across the globe, and is setting up a world wide distribution network for the DVD. The project is a landmark in DVD production with it being available for free to fans across the world. The band and Crashburn Media are encouraging people to copy and pass around the DVD wherever possible to see how far the network can extend.

Other projects in the pipeline include a documentary on Sharks (the band) and also the final farewell documentary for The Ghost Of A Thousand. And finally we will be releasing our free NINE INCH NAILS DVD! Dates to follow.

We've also gone through several long process' of thought over the last month and have made some decisions as far as the company goes. Nothing bad nor drastic is happening but we'll be releasing a full breakdown of changes in due course. It's a strategy we will will strengthen and secure the future of Crashburn Media and allow us to have a greater say in our niche market.

More updates coming soon.

USA 2011

This blog has got extremely far behind. What's our excuse? Not enough hours in the day.

As I write this I'm sat in El Paso Texas, working through emails and website updates, to the live sound of one of America's biggest punk bands, Social Distortion. I'm on the road with Sharks shooting their new music video and a short documentary on their first time in the great United States Of America. So far so good. There's a whole host of information I could give you but it would make this post far too long. We will be in the process of changing the blog structure upon my return to the UK where I can update things more often via a Tumblr structure.

We were also in Belgium last weekend shooting at Groezrock festival for Etnies and Front Magazine. A host of videos churned out by one of the team which gave fans at the festival a chance to see a quick recap of what had been going on via the mouths of various super star rock artists. A full edit is due to be released soon via the Etnies Europe facebook page, so if you want to keep up to date please go and like the page immediately via your facebook account. You can also see the videos that were posted over the weekend. Some very funny moments.

We continue into 2011 as a media company that is focused on not churning out the same things as everyone else. We're young and full of ideas on how to change the ever shifting face of viral media. We want to keep things interesting. We want to be leaders in our field. So far so good, we want more.

I'll leave this post with a picture from here in America, of the Sharks lads after their Albuquerque first show in New Mexico. Only 5 years ago we were filming a show in Falmouth Cornwall, with little idea of what was starting. Now we're on one of the biggest tours in America, working with incredibly talented individuals, all who have put their trust in us to deliver an amazing visual project. If you've not done that yet, you should ask yourself why......

New Foxy Shazam content

It's that time once more where we're getting near to releasing new content for Foxy Shazam. The pre-production is in full swing with videos aiming to be released this month! As usual they will be a variation of wacky concepts promoting the band further via our client Warner Records USA. Foxy Shazam's album is out now from all good record stores across the UK and online!

Cornwall College Business ask for more

We're pleased to announce that we're returning to do more client case study corporate videos for Cornwall College Business in January of this year. We're already very pleased with the feedback we've received from them and other external viewers, so as always on the next set of video's we'll be looking to raise the bar again.

NINE INCH NAILS - Video editing

We're editing up something special..... more news soon but here's a sneek peek

Funeral For A Friend's new LIVE DVD

As some maybe aware we shot Funeral For A Friend performing 'Casually Dressed And In Deep Conversation' in it's entirety, live in front of a sold out house at Shepherds Bush Empire earlier this year. The show was shot on 7 full HD cameras and was one hell of a party, celebrating Darren Jones' second to last time performing with the famous Welsh 5 piece who back in 2003 brought a new type of music to the ears of fans all over the United Kingdom. Four albums and countless EP's later, the band are still filling venues across the globe.

We've built a long term relationship working with the band, so it was only right that we provided their latest digital offering to fans, this being in the form of a new DVD featuring the Shepherds Bush performance along with some extra goodies! More information on this will be released via the band's website, but as you can probably imagine, we've over the moon to be creatively directing such a historical project. We can promise that fans will NOT be disappointed!
