Since the turn of the year I have been working on a music video for One Cure For Man for their single War of Dreams. It was filmed across rural Leicestershire in January including shoots at Bradgate Park, Swithland Woods and Knighton Park. It was filmed using a Canon 600D DSLR with a vintage Pentacon 29mm M42 lens. It was edited using Adobe Premiere.
I am currently playing guitar for 'Once Cure For Man'. I also recently produced a music video for them which should be out in the next week. James who does everything (writes, produces, plays) has written a track by track blog about his debut album 'Serenade the Damned' which you can read here.
Earlier this week I filmed and performed in an acoustic version of ‘War of Dreams’ by One Cure For Man. It is taken from One Cure For Man’s debut album ‘Serenade the Damned’ which is available from iTunes, Bandcamp etc.
The session was filmed using a Canon 550D w a 50mm 1.8F lens, a Canon 600D with a M42 Pentacon 29mm 2.8F lens and a LG Nexus 5 Smartphone (because the wide shot camera ran out of juice!) and edited in Adobe Premiere. The audio was post mixed in Logic Pro by James Parkinson.
I played my part of my trusty Fender DG18-LH
A still from the video shoot I have been doing for @onecureforman for their song War of Dreams. It has been filmed across numerous rural locations in Leicestershire including Swithland Woods, Bradgate Park, Knighton Park and marshlands close to Soar Valley Way. It was shot using a Canon 600D with a 29mm Pentacon 2.8 M42 Lens with an EOS adapter.
Fender Jaguar + Fender Jazzmaster Comparison
(Jaguar in red, Jazzmaster in blue)
After a 'wobble' last weekend I have got slightly back on track. No more shredded screws (bought a handy Japanese pair of pliers made for the job of removing them) , a grounded bridge and a polished body. Can't wait to finish it but patience, I have learned is a virtue.
Today I am sad. After applying the lacquer to my decals they unfortunately warped and slipped. The front one looks 'okay' but the back ones are a complete mess. I am pretty sure I know where I went wrong. I don't think the PVA mix was strong enough and i sprayed the lacquer on with the head laying vertical as opposed to horizontal. Time is of the essence so I am going to finish the Bass then strip back the neck in a few weeks time and get the finish I really want. In hindsight I will probably apply a tint to the neck also to get a really nice finish. Onwards and upwards!
This evening I applied the deals to my Jazz Bass project entitled the Sixty Bass. I used Adobe Illustrator to design the decals and printed them on waterslide paper. I first sanded the head down to 400 grit and cleaned using tack cloth. I then applied a 25/75 PVA/Water mix on the areas where the decals will be placed. Then placed the decals in lukewarm water for 1 minute before placing them on the body. Its a nervy process but very satisfying when you feel you have got it right. Tomorrow its time for the gloss lacquer coat, then leave to harden until Sunday when its all getting put together ready to play at a wedding the following weekend.
Draft decal designs for my Jazzmaster project which will closely follow on the heels of my Jazz Bass project. I am drawn between the outline or the filled logo. Suggestions gladly received.
Spent a bit of time working on the decal design for the Jazzmaster project I am building. Fender didn't really put a lot of effort into decals for left handed guitars often simply opting for a Fender logo on many of their designs. Mimicing the placement of the right handed designs just doesn't work so always have to spend hours trying to get things looking 'right'.
Since seeing a photo deebeeus posted with an outline Fender headstock logo I have opted to give the outline look a go. Fingers crossed it all comes out nicely when placed.
Back in December 2012 as part of the Maybeshewill 'Live at the Y Theatre' concert movie shoot, I also helped shoot footage for the 'Speaking in Italics' video 'Swaying Arc' which was produced by 'Co-conspirators' and was released last month.
Worked with London based dark electro band 'I Am In Love' on the artwork for their second album 'Raw Heart'.
Created a 12" Vinyl w insert (pictured), retail CD (w 8 page booklet) and promotional CD which will be released in Germany on 25th October.
Testing decal placement on the bass guitar project. Still needs a bit of work on the lettering to decease the warping but maintain the curve.
The rain is putting pains to working on my bass body so I've been working on the decal instead based on the classic Jazz Bass font.
Small design project for a Fundraising DVD for my place of work. Designed the on body disk print & animated DVD menu.
A few weeks back I assisted Ototo along with We The Conspiritors on a video shoot for Juniors for their latest single 'Holy Caspian'. It was a fun shoot that helped me nail my steady cam for the first time. Loads of coloured smoke, night lit live performance. It was a blast! It was the first use of my Pentacon 29mm lens using a M42 converter on a Canon 600D. Pleased with the results.
From Music videos to Guitars to Bikes. Today I started work on the design for my own customised Road Bike. I acquired a decent frame from a friend which is a Giant SCR 2.0 (2007) but I intend to strip it back and get it re-powder coated. Growing up I was (and still am) a massive fan of the Gulf Oil racing colour so I intend to try and replicate that scheme and give it a fairly good suite of components. Won't be a reality for a while but thought i'd get going with design ideas.
