So what's kickin' off? Couple o' things.
Starting straight off with basing out a new music video for the Liverpool based rock band BLACK NEON KNIGHTS
Massive fan of these just as they're starting out. Very much a hard-rock, metal band in the mould of Alice in Chains and Black Sabbath with some belting songs.
They were doing a gig nearby so I offered up some services to knock up a music video and work some magic. With the help of my trusted DoP Rob Harris and his lovely wife Alice, we did my first live gig shoot.
We went all out and had a surprisingly good time. 3 camera set-up, plenty of coverage, complete freedom. Footage looks great especially when you're not in complete control of these types of shoots.
It's gonna keep me busy for the next few months.
Meanwhile, go check out some of the Black Neon Knights TUNES and give 'em some love on FACEBOOK.
And speaking about the next few months....A new website should be up and running to pimp out my music video wares. Hopin' it will generate some work and more adventures down the line.
In other news, I directed a music video for the band BRAVER THAN FICTION last year. This weekend I was told that the awesome lead singer Mel Lampro was diagnosed with Diffuse Large B-cell lymphoma. This is a cancer that attacks the immune system.
Mel is currently recovering well at home and I hope she makes a full recovery. Go here to find out more information about it HERE.
See ya on the flip side....Danny.
