Bluehorses - Ride

Following on from the "Ray of light" Resurrection, I found the source for this one as well ..  a different night, but enough to make the vid.

Bluehorses - Ray of Light

Lizzy asked me to dig this one out of the archives ....  A little bit of work and a new video to add to the 13 fires collection...

Warren and Halloween

Warren, came around with another request .... he had a tune with a very Halloween theme to it, and wanted to do some video. ..  As usual the ideas were well beyond the collective capabilities and would required massive sets and large cash layout.

So settling on a lot of green screen work and multiple takes ....  we came up with a compromise.  Warren and then with his son, in a number of costumes played multiple parts. the vaults he wanted as the back drop turned in to a church yard, unfortunately the source video was very low res and grainy so we improvised for a lot and made a great deal of dark background, translating it into an "early Hollywood" style night screen, with added lighting effects ...

The result was OK, but there were a good number of lessons learned for the future.,

Peatbog Faeries - Marx Terrace @ Wickham Festival 2013





Today the atmospherics of Marx Terrace from the Peatbog Faeries at Wickham collection

Peatbog faeries, Wickham 2013

We have been allowed to film the Peatbog faeries at Wickham festival again this year.

The Peatbogs played a set mainly based around their last album with some old favourites thrown in. Unlike last time Tom (guitar) was playing, however the horns were not there this time, which changed some of the dynamics and gave rise to a number of different arrangements to the last time.

We had 12 cameras going through the show so we should have some good video, although one of  the cameras on the Drums failed to give a full recording. With the Peatbogs headlining the set was around one hour 20 mins, so there was some strategic change of batteries and media in a number of the older devices.

We had to fight for position among all the photographers as well as the crew filming for the festival, however the longer the show went on the less these people stayed, and the more freedom we got.

Next we will edit the clips down and see what transpires.
