Album Cover:

Here's a picture of the final signed-off album artwork... The digi-pack has been sent off for printing, so when we get a copy I will take some pictures of it!

Each image of each band member is an individual shot which we edited together using photoshop. The pictures were taken at Lordship Park: Photographic location...

SHOOTS:

Main Shoot: Lordship Park (Studio Location)

This was our final shoot of the production, and it went really well - we even managed to finish 2 hours earlier than planned!

The location was an incredible photography studio: www.lordshippark.com 

We dressed the band members in suits for this shoot, giving connotations of weath and money, and filmed close ups, group dancing, two-shots and three-shots...

SHOOTS:

Main Shoot: Seward Studio

(ABOVE: Line by line shot list/plan, highlighting what we needed to shoot)

During the main shoot, we focused a lot on shots that we had missed out on the practice shoot and the shots which didn't look up to standard.

Practice Shoot:  Seward Studio

This went really well, and with all the band members having access to their specified clothing, we were able to treat this shoot as one of our main shoots, knowing that we still have the main shoot to follow up. 

After our rehearsal we were also successful on the technical front, managing to set up the lighting to our desired effect...

 To try and achieve smooth camera movement we used a wheely-chair, on which the camera operator would sit, whilst someone wheeled them around...

We also used a lot of hand-held camerawork - (shoulder mounted to increase stability)...

Overall, an extremely successful shoot, on which we got some of our best and final footage...

PRODUCTION COMPLETED

There has been a notable break from posts on this blog, however this is down to all our time being spent on the production of the video, website and album artwork - time well spent I'd say...

Here is the completed music video (youtube quality 480p) - Full HD was too big to upload.

BAND MEMBER CONTRACTS:

To ensure our band members were fully on board with the project we wrote out a contract for each of them, signed by us and then by them. This was to confirm that they would be available on all the shoot days as scheduled and would not have to pull out later in the project.
