AVA w/65: The Return of the beast!

A summary of the last few posts: Myself and the guys at 65 have been doing visuals for Avenge Vulture Attack, this was the last teaser we produced, directed by myself:




Myself and fellower 65-er Jon (as well as other friends too) went down to the night to take some snaps, while at the same time I was also in charge of the the set list videos we did for them as they played the gig itself (Not exactly VJing, but just making sure everything started/ended when it should).
It went down really well, the videos, the band, the people, it was a really fun night.
Below are some photos of the night, I took some short video clips too which I'm going to compose together as a separate video, but hopefully I'll grab some other footage too from some of the other photographers/videographers that were there.

Projection at the back on the wall too.

Avenge Vulture Attack Music Video.

Hello Hello.


Action packed weekened! I'm currently doing a music video for the band Avenge Vulture Attack at the moment, I'm doing a cross between a hand drawn animation and a stop frame animation. This weekend we did the stop frame animation part which was fun to do, but very tiring. Especially as the snow kept challenging us on the Saturday like an annoying little brother (a cold one at that, maybe the type that flicks your ears when they're cold).

(All photos haven't been edited by the way)
Above, the guys are getting their make up and hair done. Over Saturday and Sunday it took between 2- 3 hours each day to get ready, which seems long but considering it's 3 guys and a gal getting their make up, hair and clothes done, seems about right. Especially as we were up really early on both days.

Here are some 'action' shots of the shoot. We had fun with it and that's what it should be about. If we tried to be too serious with it, we would risk coming across as cheesy or trying too hard and ultimately it will backfire on us and we'll be the laughing stock of the whole music world!! (Okay not QUITE that bad, but it wouldn't be nice for either myself or the band to look cheesy!). Overall,  a lot of fun in the cold snow and I'm aiming for the hand drawn animation that accompanies this will portray the same tone.

Group shot! (L-R clockwise) Juss - Bass, Ella - Vocals, Jenny - stylist, Lee - Make up, Ben -drums, Drew - Guitar. And myself right in the middle.


All in all a fun weekend but ever so tiring. I took a total of 738 photos, which will be just over a minute's worth of footage. Going to be fun to organize!


That's all for now folks.
