The imagined village and other stories...
I've been very quiet on here of late and it is due mainly to the rather hectic nature of my projects. At present I'm in the seemingly perpetual state of 'almost finished' on a number of things.
Currently I am going through the extremely mundane task of colour-correcting the latest Shields Of Justice Trailer, which should go live at the end of the year.
As projects go, Shields Of Justice has been a biggie, draining hundreds, maybe even thousands of man hours. We should hopefully wrap shooting in the next month or so and with the rough cut already complete, there will no doubt be many hours of colour-correction and foley work ahead...
On top of Shields, the other major projects I have been focusing on, are my book and album.
The Peasant's Songbook, is a thirteen track studio album featuring songs centred around poverty and hardship - two particularly entertaining subjects in my opinion. The album is planned for a late spring release, though planning is often a fool's errand on these things. The quality of production is tenfold improved over The Melody Of Distaste. The album will be a follow-up to my single Prince Of The Holy Sacrament, though this track will remain exclusive and not be featured on the album.
My follow-up to Cold Highways, is currently being editing after completing the drafting process this year. Centring around a family living in depression-era America, it thematically flanks my album in some ways. It's a fairly intense work if i do say so myself, dealing with themes love, morality and the burden of choice.
It's original title 'War Of Ages', will no doubt change before completion. I was always on the fence about it, as the title could potentially seem misleading. However, I've recently learnt that a metal band has the same name, so I'll try and come up with something more original in good time.
So, what adventures have I been up to since my last posting? Well, in the world of Shields, there have been many as we churned our way through the rather exciting Vietnam War Sequence.
We also have had a few radio spots as well as a video interview for Devon and Cornwall film:

We also have had a few radio spots as well as a video interview for Devon and Cornwall film:
I myself have also been doing the rounds, musically speaking. I did a solo spot on the regional BBC radio, as well as several local stations such as Phonic and Riviera FM.
One of the more exciting happenings this year was where i was given the opportunity to play with The Imagined village. I must admit, I have rarely been so nervous, but the band were a lovely bunch and it was an extreme pleasure to meet them all. It was amazing to sit in on a rehearsal and hear some of their new songs live.
All in all 2012, has been a fun and exciting year. I'm about ready to be done with some of these projects though. I am especially keen to try and find the time to concentrate on some more musical endeavours.
Anyway, as always, check out my website and do chime in to follow me on facebook and twitter for less stilted updates!

Featurettes... Of Justice.
The last few months have been pretty frantic as Shields Of Justice has taken over my life.
We've just finished the first of several shoots for our Vietnam sequence and are lining up the last few shoots that will wrap the project.
One thing we have just put out though is a duo of mini featurettes - basically to identify the difference between Crash and Burn in the film.
Here they be...er, are!

Boring old update.
Nothing very exciting but since I've been a little silent, thought I'd post a little of what has been occupying me of late.
Have been working on my latest solo album which is provisionally titled 'The Peasant's Songbook'. It's on slow boil at the moment but expect a preview single at the start of next year.
Have also been working towards finishing Shields Of Justice - met today with some lovely people at Ashcombe Paintball site - who have graciously offered us use of their land for our fabled 'Vietnam Sequence'.
My second novel (or fourth if you count Cold Highways as three books) is nearing the end of its final draft, which is exciting.
Also on a rather exciting note, my folk band 'The Demagogues' is readying to unleash itself on the world at last, with work going into web trickery and recording at the moment.
I'm also working on a couple of secret projects, which will be revealed soon.
Until then, watch this space...

Shields Of Justice Teaser Trailer
The Shields Of Justice teaser trailer is finally up!
Whack on some headphones to get the most out of those sexy low frequencies.
YouTube is a strange beasty so a higher def vid will probably go up on Vimeo once we sort it - the compression on here seemed to swallow any colour correction that was done.
Special thanks to our composer, Tom Drewitt, who did a wonderful job of adding a little snippet of the score to the footage.

Updates...
Some progress reports, as everything seems to be very busy at the moment.
Finished the drafting process of my fourth novel last week and have been busy with the Shields Of Justice Website since then. The main content should be done within the next week but we are going to try and get some clips and trailers uploaded before its launch. Should be all done very soon though.
Tomorrow we are shooting with the AC Cobra, which has finally made it down from Bristol, have also promised myself as a flautist for Andy B's album next Monday, so time is tight at the moment.
On a more entertaining note, I shall leave you with this bit of photoshoppery i threw together today:

Shields of justice
Met with the wonderful Tom Drewitt today with my good friend Tom to discuss the soundtrack to shields.
Afterwards we completed the rough edit of the Ballroom sequence from the film and had a look at the Patriot Park footage we shot at Powderham castle late last year. Entertaining cut of Jonts taking a truncheon to the bauble.
Currently trying to update the new SHIELDS WEBSITE. work in progress at the moment.
There's a lot of work ahead but things are going fairly smoothly.
