SLK - 'Be'

On a sunny (but cold) Saturday morning we travelled over to Barbican to shoot SLK's first music video for her debut track 'Be'. We chose Barbican for the location because we instantly fell in love with the late 1960s architecture, which looked so beautiful on film, with the buildings bringing a nice ‘pop’ of colour to the shoot.

Our approach to this video was very simple, this introduction to SLK did not need a video layered with over complex visuals, or a twisting story. We utilised the great colour range within buildings based in and around Barbican as a fitting performance space for a intimate performance by SLK. The beautifully shy onscreen chemistry from our two models, Amber and Josh (who are a genuine couple) fitted perfectly on screen with tales of new relationships pouring from within the track "Be". The video was released on Monday 14th April with an exclusive premiere on Noisey and featured on Promo News.

Some behind the scenes stills from the shoot.

We Used To Make Things - Live Promo

Another video we filmed end of 2013 was with the London group, We Used To Make Things.

This was filmed at the Union Chapel over in Highbury & Islington (a beautiful church) and Paper Dress Vintage Bar & Boutique in Shoreditch.

The concept for this video was to capture the performance of the band, and what they offer to the audience at their live shows. Giving the viewer a contrast between their serious, stripped back shows (Union Chapel footage), against their loud energetic performances (Paper Dress footage).

We hope to work with these guys, again later this year.

Beasts - In session with Dan Weller

Back in December 2013 we first started our working-relationship with Beasts. They invited us down to Proper Records, to document their studio time with the legendary Dan Weller. They were recording two tracks, 'What You Want' and 'Annie' which we later made the audio only video for.

We spent 3 days with the lads, filming the magic throughout the recording process. We utilised this opportunity to create a more filmic piece of content. The studio location was fantastic, with wall to wall shelving of vinyls and CD's, giving us good selection of visuals to display in the documentary. We would love to hear your thoughts.

KOKO/HOUSEKEEPING - The Seven Deadly Sins (Envy)

Late into 2013 KOKO opened its doors to a new series of events run by Housekeeping. Putting on high-end events inside the Camden Venue which welcomed many of London's well known celebrities to enjoy a night based on the Seven Deadly Sins, for this Premiere event the first one was ENVY.

For our good friends at KOKO we put together a promotional video to commemorate the first event, and will hopefully be able to show you plenty more for the future events throughout 2014!

Beasts 'Annie' (Audio Only)

Tom hanging around

A new band we have been working with lately is the Twickenham three piece, Beasts. 

They've certainly put themselves out there already having played support slots for the likes of Miles Kane and Dinosaur Pile-Up.

We were in the studio with the lads back in December 2013 filming them record a couple of new tracks with the legendary Dan Weller from SikTh, who has produced albums for Enter Shikari, Young Guns and many more! The short studio documentary with Beasts will be released later in the year.

Since then we have filmed a experimental/audio only video for their track "Annie" the day after it was exclusively Premiered on BBC Radio 1's Rock Show with Daniel P Carter.

The idea for this video was rather simple, we got each of the lads down to the studio in Soho and got them to hang upside down in a very simple and possibly unusual companion to the track! We certainly had a lot of fun shooting this! The video was exclusively released on Art Rocker.

What are your thoughts?

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.
