SO it’s been a ridiculously long time since I updated this blog, mainly because I’ve been too busy to design it properly. But I figured this might be a great spot for me to post my musings, anecdotes and updates going on in my life, that I would no doubt forget in about an hour or two. It’ll also give me good motivation with my video work, to finally get out there and start making some money off this thing, and maybe also to post up some random video experiments and personal mini projects instead of my camera sitting there going to waste.

For those that haven’t seen it yet, my latest video is for the incredibly talented and hardworking band My Ruin, called Long Dark Night. It took almost 2 months of my own long dark nights, working closely with the vocalist Tairrie B Murphy, to interpret the meaning of the song into a unique and powerful video. It features a mix of live video shot partly by myself, religious imagery – including the beautiful Hill of Crosses in Lithuania, and motion graphics to tie both worlds together.

After release it received an overwhelmingly positive response from My Ruin fans, and had 4,000 YouTube views in one week. It was also featured on the front page of Metal Hammer online (a magazine I’ve been buying for years!) and many other major rock news websites. I was chuffed to say the least!! Watch the video below and let me know what you think! You can also check out this awesome band over to www.myruin.net \m/
