Digital Dirt #6: Dragonsclaw - 'Darkness Within' Video-shoot

...helped out my man Jeremy Belinfante out with some-bitch work on Tuesday night (Feb. 7th 2012). Jeremy is directing the video clip for Dragonsclaw's track 'Darkness Within' offa their 2011-LP Prophecy. I helped out with lighting, water-runs for washing out fake blood + general shit-stirring. Shoot was done in an alley offa Oxford St., with real rubbish, grime + piss-smell - so it was good n authentic for some rape-violence-stylz shooting.

• Actors = Felicia Logue + Blake Mitchell
• Director = Jeremy Belinfante
• Lighting = Horhey + the hippie
• Metal Insights = Giles Lavery

...as always it was a damn pleasure helping out. The crew were all amazing.

• Camera - Canon EOS 450D (digital)
• Setting(s) - most with automatic focus, some with flash, various ISO + shutter-speed
• Photoshop/Edited - HELL NO! (mainly caus' i can't use that stuff.....)

Highlights below....

...just some more shots i took using my grandfather's old Exakta Varex 2A. These are all 160 speed, Colour film. Shot at 250, or 150.

This is part 6 - the ACTUAL final part - of photos i took at my man Jeremy Belinfante's music video shoot. Turns out he needed more footage though, so there was a day of extra shooting about 2 weeks ago, photos to come.

Highlights below:

Mauritius Cops, still inept unless you bribe em...

...so my cous Jez showed me this clip of some Mauritius cops doing NOTHING to stop a fight at a shopping-mall. I guess no-one bribbed em... Check it out below:

....i fought the law, and i won?

So somehow my sis got talking to her 6 year old neighbour down in Bathurst about 2 years ago. Her name is Kia, she is 8 now, and definately appreciates the rowdy:

UV RACE @ Doldrums - 28th November 2009

getting some reprive from the cop with the half-sleeve....

Ventured into the CBD and a swealtering warehouse-type-party/gig. Bands on the night were BEAUTIFUL, Jack from Kiosk and Circle Pit's new band, and they sounded.... well, new, and like they should swap the drum machine for a real drummer.... hell, even a one-armed drummer. BEAUTIFUL's songs were pretty dark shoe-punk or something, no photos though as i was too busy trying to unnattach my testicles from my asshole (100 people in a small room, with bands playing, on a hot Syndey night equals sweat... and stickyness... anyhow....).

After BEAUTIFUL came WHORES, who have been doing the rounds for a while now. They arn't really good or original or anything, but i love em. Trashy rock-n-roll/country with drunk-style singing. They have enough money, or art-school contacts, to have made a video, which will explain there style much better than my ramblings, check 'Head on a Stick' by WHORES below:

Next to brave the heat was punk-band who seem to really, really like The Replacements, BED WETTING BAD BOYS, and this is were the photos start, sorry......

Tonight was the 2nd time i had seen UV RACE, and they did not dissapoint. Easily the best punk band in Australia at the moment.... in my opinion.

...as is usually the case at these gigs, the crowd was full of lames:
