Updatez

Just finished uploading a taster for our clients at Pengersick Castle. It's for their upcoming info-dvd we are putting together so people on ghost nights can get a little information before they set out into the castle. No public taster is available yet, just a private password protected one for the guys at pengersick :P haha, a preview will be up when it's finished though.

Also we had our end of work tag video delivered last night, it's looking good! This really should put more of a mark on our work. It was done by a friend who also did the intro for sky sports news. Old pieces of work will just be left with the static old cbp logo, new pieces will get the lavish new tag! An example of it coming very soon.

The Funeral For A Friend videos are all edited together we are just waiting for the audio to come from our sound deptartment. As you might or might not be aware, the desk that we took the feed from on that fateful night in newport at the FFAF show was a deadweight, most of the output ports gave us nothing, we came away with nothing usable from the desk due to poor information given to us before the show which meant we didn't hire splitters. However, this is a valuable lesson learned and we are buying our own splitter system which means we can avoid such problems in future. Please be sure to give us all the information on any equipment at a venue when you hire us, it means we can prepare accordingly, not turn up and start doing backflips! We fall to learn from our mistakes.

Looking forward though positively, we've just been confirmed for another job with relentless at the RIP CURL BOARDMASTERS Newquay! This means we are back in the relentless area, tearing around with cameras, pushing them in your face, getting you all to have a great time! Please do come and say hello if you are around, and come and show your support for our friends in Haunts on the Friday, Ghost of a Thousand, Gallows and Johnny Truant on the Saturday.

local graffiti representation



This is the back wall of Bar 200 truro. Just went to see my friends in backbeatsoundsystem, an amazingly talented reggae band, and spotted this. A lot of the CBP crew go to bar 2oo for shows so it was nice to see a little bit of representation!

Please do check out our friends in backbeatsoundsystem. We will be doing them promotional photos fairly soon so watch this space!

More videos



The edit suite is burning hot, my macbook pro is actually working so hard its making the desk it's on so hot I could fry an egg on it. We've got so much editing I actually left it running last night capturing a tape while I went and watch the Dark Knight. Which is possibly one of the most incredible film's I've ever seen, but I'm going to need to watch it again to get the full low down. But we recommend it 100%

We are hopefully going to be at the boardmasters festival in Newquay filming a few friends there, so come along on the Saturday to check out Gallows, Ghost of a Thousand and Johnny Truant. But don't forget, friday, Haunts! On the relentless stage. Definitely a shining star in the heavily commercial indie music scene here in the UK. So get along and get involved.

Tom and Chris are constantly uploading new photos to their Flickr photostream so please go check them out and give them feedback, they are always looking for an outside view on their work. Chris' latest stuff is from the Dead Swans show at Plymouth when they were supporting Comeback Kid (above photo is from the evening). Chris was there capturing all the action as usual!

Shared Inspiration 1

I know there have been a monumental amount of posts today but I wanted to share this video with everyone because it really is absolutely amazing. Watch.

HD versionz upgrade

I upgraded the chariot video on our vimeo to glorious HD. You can now view it in a better resolution here with a full write up (the below video is an embedded smaller version). In case you weren't aware, in the spirit of the chariot videos, we made a kind of experimental video for 'forgive me nashville'. It was so hot the lenses were steaming up faster than we could wipe them, but all in all, we like it. So check it out.

Check out Johnny Truant's myspace to see the latest promotional photo we did for them along with some live pictures.

Relentless @ T in the Park

Relentless called us in to film everything in their area at Scotland's T in the Park recently, we've put a 1 minute client teaser on our vimeo. This 1 minute teaser will be passed around to their clients to show how the weekend was a success. A few of the photos are below. We had a great time filming and hung with some great bands. Free relentless however does crazy things to your body when consumed in LARGE quantities haha, but obviously in good ways! Some photos our man Tom Griffiths took are below.

Just a little something

Thought it would be a good idea to start a blog of what we are doing so people can keep up to date easily rather than firing out myspace bullitens all the time. I tried doing my own personal blog about what is going on but that seems to just have got tangled in personal topics etc, so I'll cleanse that right out and provide a link for it at a later date where you can see what projects are happening on a personal level. It's not much though really because most things are created and/or scripted out by me and then produced via the crashburn collective haha.

But it's a nice little place to start talking about what we are doing and grab a little personal insight into it, without taking things too seriously! We don't want this to get too serious, it's just something fun me and the crew can use to write up this and that (but in a non offensive way), remaining professional but fun.
