Here is a recent film that was produced by myself and three others. The entire film was recorded using only two mobile phones, even the audio itself is recorded using only the phones. The film captures some of the buskers and street performers throughout Manchester in places like Market Street and Piccadilly in particular. Various methods were carried out to produce shots that couldnt have easily ben done (or what so ever) with a normal video camera.

Thought I’d post a few instructional videos, so for those of you who don’t know who Paul Gilbert is, he’s most likely the most technically skilled guitar player on the face of the earth at this current time! Enjoy!
First of all I`d like to say tis is my first “blogging” attempt. I`m pretty much going to bore you with my interests for the time being.
My main interest is music, I play guitar in a Progressive Hardcore metal band called Skin the pig! My equipment consists of a Maverick guitar (chaos 1 model) and a Peavey 6506 plus amplifier. I have ben playing guitar for about 7 years now, 2 of which I have been playing in a band for.

Thought you should have a look at this artist Sam Hayles. we have commisioned him (along with many other bands/artists etc) to do our art work for CD covers........
Sam Hayles is an independent art-director and graphic designer and has experience in working with bands, record companies, Djs, Artists, Music composers since 1999.
Based in the south of France after having lived and worked in Bristol in the UK, his capabilities span from concept development to design/direction, animation and illustration. He is also a practicing visual artist working across different mediums.
Sam spent time as a designer and worked for a few agencies, before becoming totally independant since 2004 to focus on his own design and style and this gave him the chance to grow into the style of design he truly enjoys creating and be influenced by the various trends that seem to infiltrate the collective output of the design and illustration world.
