He dead!?

Greetings everyone,

wow is that the time, we didn't realise that over 2 months has passed? Time flies. But what it boils down to is a lot of hardcore editing, cleaning up old stocks, being on the road filming and doing bits locally for various companies and organisations. Much of the work has had exclusivity rights meaning a natural delay period before we can show you all via our site. Were pleased to say that a video update is however coming to the site this week. Here's a written breakdown of what the team have been doing.


VANS SHOES
So as many of you know we were at boardmasters filming not only for Relentless but also VANS. The first of the podcasts is now available for download, check the vans uk website for more details, or if you are a bit too lazy you can check out the embedded version below. The weekend had some awesome music in the tent and the action was non stop on the stage. The second part of the podcast is due to be released very shortly.



We were also at the OFF THE WALL MUSIC NIGHT in Birmingham which saw yet again more blinding music acts taking the stage. The podcast is currently in the final stages of the edit process and should be coming your way very soon. Keep your eyes on the vans website for more details, or even better, add our facebook page or twitter (details at the end of this blog entry).


MARINERS
We took a leap of faith, yes we really did. Music industry work is great, we all love working with bands, but realistically at the moment (in our current economical climate) this won't support the company 100% of the time and won't allow it to grow to be stronger. So we've branched out into pastures new and collaborated with a good friend. Naturally with all our endeavours we won't work with anyone that is unable to produce a high quality product, and Sam (our friend) is no exception. His work is becoming increasingly popular in the southwest and he is the man behind our latest website. His company goes by the name of Webdesigner Cornwall. Our fusion will take the form of a project designed to work exclusively with business' and organisations around the country. Watch out world, here comes the Collaborations team. That's all we are saying for now. For more kryptic clues follow the collaborations twitter: http://www.twitter.com/collaborat1ons

Mariners involved myself and Tom working on photo and video which had the angle to show the world how mariners is one of the best takeaways in the United Kingdom. You think we're joking? Check out the website for yourself for a look at our photo and video skills combined with a top notch website, all brand spanking new, developed for a business that has never had a website before. We think you'll enjoy it. Once you've visited their website, visit them in person and find out how real takeaway food should look and taste: http://www.marinerstakeaway.com .



The Mariners team then asked us back a month later to film another video but based outside of the business. The brief was to show how the company team build outside of the work place to improve relations within it! Check it out below, or on the mariners website.




PENRYN FOOTBALL DEVELOPMENT CENTRE
Our long awaited PFDC video has been released and can now be seen on the PFDC website: http://www.pfdc.co.uk. The PFDC website was also created under Collaborations!




CANCER BATS
Our friends from Canada visited our region of the UK for a short 2 day period where we filmed both shows they were involved with. As always it was great fun and the results are going to be put together for use by the band as online content.


F*CKED UP
Canadian rockers F*ucked Up co-headlined one of the Cancer Bat's south west shows. We filmed their set which turned out to be one of the most eventful ones of 2009! A video release of one track from the night will be online in early 2010 for all to see.


TR14ERS
Cornish registered charity the 'TR14ers' held a gala event at the Hall For Cornwall in September and we were called in to record the evening for a short documentary. The event saw performances from the Tr14ers dance troop and various local bands and choirs, all watched under the guise of the charity's royal patrons. Hosted by the world famous Sir Tim Rice the evening was a complete success and highlights via the documentary will soon be available for all to see on our website.


THE GHOST OF A THOUSAND
Over the past 2 years we have been involved with The Ghost Of A Thousand on various events throughout the country. This year saw us take to the road with them on a 6 week long stint on the Eastpak tour to film the goings on for one of the UK's most talented punk rock bands. Be it on stage, in the dressing room, or broken down on a french motorway, we were there. The culmination of this will take form in two main parts. One, a music video and two, a visual project which cannot currently be named (don't you hate it when we do that!). As usual, we've got nothing more to say until both us and the band are happy with the final idea, and its direction is 100% set in stone. Don't worry though, we are about 79% there, honest.

The guys have also released 2 of our live audio tracks from their Boardmasters 2009 performance on a limited edition 7" vinyl. This is something we are over the moon with, especially myself as it's been released on Burning Heart/Epitaph, the same as Refused, who have always been a solid influence musically to me. Not only that, it was mixed at Abbey Road studios. Thanks go out to our man Bob Barnes who did a brilliant job recording everything 'audio' at boardmasters. The vinyl was available on the entire Eastpak tour but should be available also online very soon. Take a look below at a thing of beauty.
