Project - Metalbone rock festivals
We worked on a very wide variety of operational, creative and marketing aspects for Metalbone, the Rock Concert Management company. We were very pleased to have numerous airings of 5 of our videos of Metalbone concerts on the Sky Extreme Sports TV channel Ex-Tube programme in 2007 and 2008.
Various UK rock bands played at Metalbone concerts including Evil Scarecrow, a Slipknot tribute, Inferno, Die So Fluid, DiaboliKill and Multi Purpose Chemical.
Videography
Making promo music videos is not for the fainthearted. Most unsigned bands are short of cash but still expect a good quality video. While the higher echelons of the music industry still spend £25k plus, most unsigned bands struggle to find a few hundred pounds for their promotional videos.
The cheapest way is to make a LIVE Music video - get one of your concerts filmed; but clearly the band needs to perform well on the night, the sound has to be excellent – no bum notes or missed lyrics, etc. You need to record the audio directly from the mixing desk. Ideally, the lighting needs to be brighter than you would normally have at a gig; and you need at least 3 camera angles.
Sean who headed up the team that made the music videos for Metalbone has also filmed, and thus helped to promote, numerous other musical acts including: Charlotte Hatherley, The Wombats and The Hussys, and corporate clients such as Staffordshire Youth Service, Future Home Care Ltd and Theatre Productions Ltd.
