Productive stuff

We've resolved the issue we had with You Tube not accepting our video formats, meaning some of our videos that were being sent out to 'I Surrender' Records (Four Year Strong's label) weren't being shown in the correct format. This obviously was a massive bummer.

But after an hour of tweaking and trialing we managed to get our videos looking pretty good on You Tube (obviously not as good as vimeo though!)

Site update is due to come in the next couple of weeks. Firstly a text update in the next couple of days then a video update. We've got a fair few videos in the pipeline which are raring to be put up onto the site. A couple are still waiting for the green light from management labels (a common occurance as anyone in the music industry will know).

Work on the backbeatsoundsystem music video is underway. We did some test shots on Monday night to check an idea that the video is going to house, results are looking good. The video is looking to be shot at the end of May/start of June depending on how well the pre-production process goes.

Four Year Strong Webisode 7 is due out early next week so keep an eye out.

Spring

So there's been a pretty lengthy gap in correspondence on the blog over the last month or so due to efforts being concentrated into different areas. Now the website has been launched it means we can keep up to date with things a little better.

At the moment it's all systems go for the shaped by fate DVD. We really are putting all our efforts into finishing this DVD before summer. So far the DVD is around 50 minutes long and follows the band as they travel through the UK on their tour with Parkway Drive, Suicide Silence and Bury Your Dead. Chris Shaw (our newest addition to the team for motion graphics) is working alongside myself to put together some breathtaking titles which we feel no other band in the UK has yet had on their DVD's. We really are aiming to step the bar. No previews are available nor scheduled to be shown of what we are doing, so it really is a case of watch this space. The band are currently on tour around the UK with Devil Sold His Soul so if you get the chance to get involved in a show, please do as you will be in for an awakening of epic proportions. They have also recently started recording their new album which is anticipated to be released this year. For more details on Shaped By Fate visit their myspace: http://www.myspace.com/shapedbyfate.

The Anathallo documentary is complete, well almost! We just need to tweak a couple titles and we are away. Basically the rendering process threw up problems making a few of the titles look grainy which is unacceptable. More news to follow as and when the band view the finished product!

Four Year Strong webisodes are still being hammered out on a bi-weekly basis. You can check them out or relive the webisodes via our Vimeo album: http://vimeo.com/album/64095

Still in the pipeline:
Live footage music video for Crime In Stereo
Live video for Bury Your Dead
Live video for Suicide Silence (completed and awaiting approval)

At some point when time permits we will be going back into our back catalogue of footage and pulling out all our tapes for a very well known Watford metal band who no longer play together. More information coming when the project starts.

T-shirts to commemorate the release of our new website should be coming for this summer (when our funds say yes). Other promotional bits and bobs are also on the way also. Remember to also check out our facebook fan page and our twitter, links are below!

Also we've put all the Four Year Strong webisodes into one handy vimeo album so you can keep in the loop on all the episodes (there is a whole page dedicated to them on the website though):
