Happy Jack Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 What was the cameraman doing when he did that shot down your fretboard? Quote

[/quote] That was quite ridiculous - the director was very 'arty' and so for that shot I had to play the DB at a stupid angle (45 degrees to the ground) so he could point the camera down the neck! The whole video took about 5 hours to shoot as there were so many angles Quote
Clarky Posted February 28, 2011 Author Posted February 28, 2011 Here's our other Youtube clip - not really a video, lots of live shots set against a cover of the old song 'Speaking of happiness'. This and 'Rain on my foosteps' are our two slow, moody songs - we do more up tempo stuff as well Quote
arsenic Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) Just listened to some more of your stuff on MySpace and YouTube - really like it. Mrs. A loves the promo video - who was the director? She has just commented that she would like to see some of their other work (I guess she's a bit "arty" as well). I love the whole Baron Samedi and his Zombie musicians thing you have going on there. Edited February 28, 2011 by arsenic Quote

The director is Christian Murray, who came to us through shared contacts on the South Coast (half of the band are from the Brighton/Chichester/Bognor stretch of the coast and we recorded it at the theatre in Chichester University). Cost us nothing as the drummer is a lecturer at the Uni and the director did it as a favour Quote
Beedster Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 You've got a great gig there Clarky, proud of you mate C Quote
chris_b Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 How do you fit that lot onto the 12 Bar stage? We had trouble as a 4 piece! Nice band by the way. Quote
Cat Burrito Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Nice to hear the bass right up there! If I was the director I'd have made the upright (& player!) much more of a feature Quote
EdwardHimself Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Very nice. I would have said you could have done with a few more shots but then again being a bass player i'm probably biased. Quote

I was surprised when I saw the final cut how little the DB featured, especially compared to the drums. The director said right from the off how beautiful my DB looked and how it should feature ... and yet the only shots where the camera lingers are those ones looking down the fingerboard. Still, the video was essentially done for free so can't complain Quote
TheGreek Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 This would sound really good with some machine gun slap bass going on...with some Rotasound strings.. Quote
