Last week I also had the opportunity to help shoot a promo video for a local wedding band, Chasing Lights. It was a great opportunity to take out some new lights and have a bit of fun with fairy lights! (video will be posted once it has been released by the band)
Earlier this year, Fat-Suit set out to record their 2nd album, Jugaad. They spent 3 days in the studio at the Edinburgh Napier- Merchiston campus. I had the privilege of rounding up a small team of SAE Glasgow degree students in their final months of study for the purpose of filming the entire recording session. This [...]
