New Ghost of a Thousand photos

What a gap in blogging! But it's been a turbulent couple of weeks with so much changing in the way of work that we've just not had time to sit down and blog it up. But here is a fresh batch of photos Chris has just done from the Rip Curl Boardmasters of our friends Ghost of a Thousand.



















We actually were denied access to Reading/Leeds at the last minute. This was all to do with facility fees costing around £2,500 which quite frankly we thought was a ridiculous price for ONE SONG RECORDED. Unfortunately though this is the way of things when it comes to filming live events, we understand it and accept it. That doesn't mean to say we weren't extremely gutted not to be onstage filming gallows and thrice. Other chances will come around though!

We've been confirmed for Bury Your Dead and Emmure in December at the White Rabbit Plymouth, this should be a fun show with filming and photos going down. We've also been called in to edit up the footage for the RNLI and their end of year lifeguard event at the Sandsifter Godrevy, details on this are vague at the moment but more information coming soon.

The pablo project should be starting soon, should the weather permit. This is going to be filmed at various points over Autumn where we can fit it in. We've got the lights and generators on standby.

The obsydian tears video is basically done, I just need to collect a few last shots to round it off and get various sounds for the start of the video. That will be released via the band and also us on our vimeo.

There will be a trailer released for the shaped by fate DVD very very soon, finishing touches are being fine tuned and we should have something next week to show. There is also work in the pipeline with our friends Funeral For A Friend, Cancer Bats and Blackhole. Again more news on this coming soon!

Post Codes should really kick off big time over the next few months as winter time means more swell. Which means more waves! I've also got plans for some filming next year in other countries. Ideas flying around at the moment are, Ireland (to film some bodyboarding), Alaska, New York and finally Australia. The whole idea behind this is Crashburn ON TOUR, me taking the company to different places to really open up the portfolio. This is all very much in the idea stage though.

The new website is on the way and its looking KFC finger licking good. It's being designed by our good friend Sam Manley over at Webdesigner Cornwall. I've been sat in a couple sessions with Sam showing him exactly what we want. We aren't releasing ANY previews at all, it's just going to be a hard opening of the site. We aim to have it up in around a month or so. Merch and other things are on the way too, it's definately all go. Keep your eyes on my vimeo over the next month for lots of new videos.
