Covers bands cheap.....Originals bands/charity events free
As I've mentioned previously I'm available a bit over December and January and have just finished my latest batch of media assignments.
So if anyone wants to hire me do please get in touch. For bookings taken this month (it only needs to be a booking, the gig may be later) the deal is this:-
Covers bands
The whole gig recorded (with multiple cameras, and a copy of the gig supplied on DVD for each band member (usually 2 discs as I record and burn in high definition).
In addition a 10 minute show reel clip will be compiled with some of the gig highlights for marketing purposes (see my previous blogs for examples of "mashups" created for other acts), or your website etc. I try to liaise with the band on this as much as possible to make sure you're happy with the clips selected and to invite your input as to the order you want them putting in etc before then editing in footage from multiple camera angles and applying various techniques (special effects, pans, zooms, fades etc) to add movement and interest to the finished product.
Photos of the gig - usually about 150 finished/edited shots of both individuals and the group shot live (I don't do posed photo shoots as all my ideas are a bit stupid - like standing in fields with guitars and shit) uploaded to photobucket for you to link to your media sites and also supplied on CD.
You can check my media page on facebook for some examples at www.facebook.com/sarcasticelasticmedia
Most of my video mashups are on this media page too.
All this for £50 which is probably about £1 an hour for the amount of editing etc that goes into it all. This includes the cost of DVDs and postage but if the gig you want is miles and miles away (ie out of the East Lancs/North Manchester area) then I ask for fuel costs in addition.
The booking needs to be made this month (you don't have to have a specific gig in mind at this stage as it pays to wait until you are playing at a venue that lends itself very well to recording (a stage or raised platform is best....together with understanding landlord and punters) to take advantage of this offer as I now know I'm offering a lot more for a lot less than others do so it won't last forever - however I'd like as many nwb bands to be able to take advantage of what others have had as I value this community.
Originals bands (ie not for pay)/Charity events or any other kind of event that's not for profit -
Same stuff but free, with the exception that I will ask you to cover expenses - you can supply the blank DVD's if you like, other than that it's fuel and a couple of soft drinks. If you're not gigging but want a rehearsal or similar recording then I can record a few songs that way if you want to get some material out there.
PM me if you're interested and originals bands are on their honour not to abuse the offer - I'm assuming most of you play for nothing (or next to nothing) and I respect your commitment to the road less travelled - just remember me if you get famous.....
The offer is open to absolutely everyone...even music genres I don't like....I love filming...I don't need to love the music (so long as metal bands aren't offended by the obvious presence of earplugs when I'm shooting right in front of your PA stack).
