This short documentary piece was made on Christmas Eve 2007 on the streets of Dublin. In it, we hear the stories of a number of homeless people and see the various ways people can end up out on the street. Thank you to the Dublin Simon Community for allowing me to film one of the soup runs. Almost a year later and I have edited this piece. It is rough and ready but I felt I needed to get this up before this Christmas to highlight the issue of homelessness. Now that we are in an economic downturn I hope we can be grateful for what we have and to help others less fortunate whenever we can. We are all only human afterall.
“Shook All Up” by You™ vs. Elvis was one of my favourite entries in the WFMU Sixty Second Song Remix Contest. If you haven’t heard of this before, do check it out.. there are some amazing minute versions of lots of well known tunes and other experiments like Nirvana’s “Nevermind” album squeezed into one minute. The Elvis mix by You™ is a quirky cut-up of his hit “All Shook Up”. So I decided to put video to it as I was using some Elvis moments in another project. I found a few versions online and it was amazing to see the change in the way Elvis sang it over time. Especially in the later Vegas years where he seems to just want to get it over with as quick as he can. Perhaps he should have remixed it! Anyway.. here goes it..
Here is the music video I made for the track “Prairie” from the new Halfset album “Another Way Of Being There”
The CD version of the album comes with an excellent DVD, which I produced, with a different artist interpreting each of the tracks. I made this one and two live videos shot out in RTE. Some of them are online.. check them out..
I’ve been a bit slow on updating this blog of late. I’ve been in headless chicken mode for the past few weeks. Anyways to start the ball rolling here is a bit of a gig review type thing.
I was asked by Red of Ursus Crew to make some visuals happen at the st Redrum clubnight in McGruders back on the 16th. So I moseyed on down with my ever expanding VJ kit to McGruders on Thomas Street a few hours before kick off. I had forgotten how cool this venue was for running nights in. There was three areas set up for the music as well as a very nice covered beer garden with heaters that work when you stand in the right place! Continue reading ‘Redrum # 1 (inc 2 x livesets on mp3)’
