Attica Rage - Making the Album & stuff

I've not long put up Attica Rage - Making the Album on Youtube and Vimeo (vastly superior in my opinion). If you watch them can you please click the 'like' button. It will increase its chance of being found in searches. Here are the links:

Unfortunately the film didn't win any prizes at the UWS student showcase. Heavy metal bands don't exactly appeal to stuffy lecturer types. Oh well! I guess I'll have to make the feature length film so undeniably good that they have no choice to give me an award.

This week saw me get my first paid job on an actual set. It was an STV produced dramadocumentary on Scottish murderers. It was pretty cool seeing an experienced cast and crew work. I only wish I could have gotten my hands on the camera. I suppose you've got to start at the bottom, right? Anyway, I think I learned a lot and everyone involved was nice and more than willing to answer questions. I'd definately like to do more of this in the future.

Just over a week away is my Hard Rock Hell - Road Trip adventure in Ibiza with Attica Rage. It should be an experience and a half.

Attica Rage - Making of Album complete

I have just finished and submitted my first Attica Rage related film. "Making the Album" is not the most imaginately titled but like most things I film it does exactly what it says on the tin. Early feedback has been good so far. My uni lecturers seemed marginally impressed. I showed it to Jonny and Roddy while they were recording the acoustic guitar for the album. They seemed quite chuffed. It is going forward in to the UWS students showcase on the 18th of May which I am kind of looking forward to. Unfortunately my last exam is earlier that day. Thanks UWS.

I'm unsure what I will be doing with the video at this point (probably youtube) so it may be a wee while till everyone gets to see it. I'm definately not sticking it online until after the showcase. Until then here is Attica Rage playing the Motorhead classic "Overkill".



Over the next few weeks I will be doing more studio filming, filming part of a corporate video, and hopefully editing Secret Wars:- Glasgow vs Bristol. Then it is off to the Hard Rock Hell Road Trip in Ibiza (thats if that bloody volcano behaves).
