Youth Club 'People'

Our latest music video is with the new fresh indie 6 piece, Youth Club. We filmed this video all in one day in the band's hometown of Southend-on-Sea, Our aim of the video was fairly simple as we captured a sort of day in the life/feel good video surrounded by the Seaside, Vintage Cars, Skateboards, friends, family and even their own pets!

We certainly got lucky with autumn crisp sunshine when filming along the seafront in front of the palm trees, giving us a Miami vibe to the video... Maybe we can film there next!?

So far the video has premiered on VEVO and features on Video Static and Promo News.

King Lizard - Just To Hear You Say It

In December 2013 we teamed up again with our rocking friends King Lizard to film a new piece of factual content in the form of a day by day tour film, and a new promo video for "This Ain't Love" during their visit to perform in guitarist, Niro Knox's home town of Tel Aviv, Israel. 

Now, for a country in the middle east you wouldn't expect anything but sunshine and scorching heat, but unfortunately we were greeted with a horror storm that stuck with us for the 5 days filming in Israel, and to make matters even worse our plans were to shoot the promo primarily in the Desert - No Chance.

With the Storms getting the better of us, we decided to work on "Just To Hear You Say it" a good old-fashioned rock ballad from their current album "A Nightmare Livin' The Dream" and had to come up with new plans regarding getting a promo shoot in the bag whilst out in Tel Aviv.

So with some quick improvisation and with a change of single choice we put our heads together on the 3rd night out there and managed to squeeze out a powerful and quick performance video in the rehearsal spaces in downtown Tel Aviv, when preparing for one of the big shows later that week.

It was certainly a mighty test but also a pleasure to cut this together, especially getting to make another promo in a foreign country. We hope you enjoy this one.

Note: The touring film should surface over the next month or so.

Bleech - I Just Want You

On Monday 10th March, Bleech released their new album, Humble Sky, and we were asked to create the music video for their first single from the album, 'I Just Want You'. 

The video was filmed in just one day, at th1ng's studio in Soho. The production process was a break from the norm, with Matthew Hoare directing by himself, as Matthew Connell was taking a well deserved holiday! 

I Just Want You is a fun, tongue in cheek video, which explores sexuality and also features an array of everyday objects arranged to suggestively resemble parts of the body. Making this video was a lot of fun, and we look forward to working with Bleech in the near future. The video received an exclusive premiere on VEVO.

Young Romance - Pale

Back at the beginning of the year we made a new music video for the Kingston duo, Young Romance for their single 'Pale', which will be released as a limited 7" pressing in March.


As far as the styling for the video the duo went for a throwback of looks, and tried to compliment the song with an old VHS feel. We wanted to test our styles as see what we could do differently with this as a performance video. Matthew Connell gathered royalty free stock footage and edited together a sequence that was projected onto the band during the performance. Then to add to the vintage and almost glitchy look, Matthew Hoare played the finished sequence through a an old Sony Trinitron CRT Monitor from the 80's and filmed the monitors screen, to seal the look and resulting in the finished product.

Since making the music video the track has been gathering pace with premieres on sites such as The Line Of Best Fit, and even being spun on Steve Lemacq's BBC 6 Music show.

Yesterday, after a few weeks of scheduling and PR work around the duo, the video was premiered on the Beat.

Creatures Of Love - 'Sutra Sweat'

Our lastest and 10th music video has officially been released today. This time we have been working with the wonderful, Creatures Of Love.

They approached us with the concept of a man on a tredmill eating food...so of course we stepped it up a gear and took it to the sky.

We also decided on stepping up the decision with equipment, we were lucky enough to get approval to hire the Sony FS700, which was a dream to use. The slow motion function on the camera is beautiful, every shot was amazing, making for a tough decision making selects for the edit.

We hope you enjoy this video, and share it amongst your friends, and we apologies if you have chosen to watch this on your lunchbreak.

Kid Champion makes it onto Promo News

Yesterday I announced on here the official release of Kid Champions new music video, for their new track 'Under Your Bed' off the new EP. The official release for the video was executed well over Facebook, everyone was sharing the post within minutes from the Fenixx Facebook page, giving us lots of positive feedback.

Then in the evening the video was posted on Promo News, this is huge for Fenixx. We have been wanting this moment for so long now, and to have it finally happen it's almost unbelievable. We have worked very hard over these last few years developing our talents as music video makers to get to this stage.

We were so happy to see this!

We are of course very grateful this has happened, and we are both extremely excited to see what this will bring for the future of Fenixx. It's amazing how far we have come together since meeting on the first day of college at South Downs, and making a video together 2 weeks later for our first piece of coursework.
