Second Video

with the success of the first single music video and the overwhelming feedback received, I have been asked by Gung Ho to produce the second music video for The Rialto Burns in July but this time it will be paid. So its another great heading on the CV.

Cover for CD

Both album and single covers are chosen and put through for print production this week along with the inlay booklet, that will sit within the album case. The covers are a reflection on the bands personality and image, with also a sense of feeling based on the music they create. Both follow a singular method and theme that will be carried out throughout the entirety of the album singles.

Video To Television

I have spent the last week making sure the format of my music video is correct for broadcasting worldwide. I have also taking the vid file to Fastrax a music video distributer and aided them in formatting the vid and now the whole video is ready for MTV within the next week and when the single is released on June 7th.

Single - Radiate and Album cover - The rialto burns

Now I am finalizing the designs for the first single cover (Radiate) and self titled album cover I have designed over 60 covers and the promoters and band have narrowed down the ones the want taking reference from vintage labels and authentic design. The design will consist of having a border and grain effect as requested by band, it will also have al information required by gung-ho.

The rialto burns to radio





The first thing first! now that I had shot the band, they needed to be plugged to radio so this can be done in a standard manor with a blank disc to the radio plugger, however Matt (boss - Gung ho) decided that the disc had be be jazzed up so he gave a couple of hours to just put a small collage together as a single cover front and back just so the disc had individuality and a sense of object. I produced the cover and sent it over then found some images from the guys of the printed product, i believe they were only shot on a phone so the quality isnt amazing.

The rialto Burns











The smashed the concert in Liverpool, and were more than helpful when it came to shooting scenes for the music video. These are some of the photos from my time in Liverpool meeting and working with the band and Gung-Ho.

Twin Shoot Alexander Mcqueen











These images were shot on the 8/3/2010, and it was a fashion shoot which capture the last dresses designed by Alexander Mcqueen before his tragic death. The photographer was Scott Trindle working in collaboration with twin fashion stylist, Celestine Cooney. The model 'Robin' was perfect for the dresses with her narrow shoulders and tall straight build, it allowed the natural movement of the fabric to sit beautifullyon her and look incredible on camera. This was a great day, which allowed me to get incredible footage for editing and allowing me to put my stamp on fashion film which is relatively new and not a full strength, however I believe I can change that and find formula to communicate fashion through film effectively.

Latest email contact and proposition for the rialto burns

Hi Jack

Ok So we have now signed the band and are ready to get the first video made.

If you are willing to Undertake this challenge then we are willing to put it in your hands! I suppose its the whole visual aspect of the band so it all ties in as one project.
I think it will be a great thing for you to get stuck into. Their myspace is www.myspace.com/therialtoburns


Play these LOUD!

We are after the following.

1. Video for 1st Single. (And 2nd if you are up for it?!)
2. Album Cover
3. Press Shots
4. Flyer / Poster / Ad Design
5. Visuals for Live show
6. Intro EPK (Short introductory video to the band. Small interview / few visuals etc - Check 'Burn The Negative EPK' on Youtube as an example)

The first Single may be "Radiate" followed by "Slow Fade".
I have attached some Band Imagery and some Album covers that they are heavily influenced by. The Band play live in Liverpool on 26th March (Friday) so possibly a good filming opportunity for some things?

Think Grainy Black and Whites. Silhouettes etc.

I think this is exciting as fook!!

looking at the way in which the bands darkness can be communicated through the visuals, but in keeping with the genre and the sound. I was looking at examples from The Smiths and Joy Division. To make contemporary taking reference from frank miller a graphic novel filter could be a cool way to go.
Passport photos of band, could be a segment of music video, sectioned in a quadrant grid with each member signing their individual part of song.

album confirmation

I heard the whole song list from the Rialto Burns and they sound very much like a contemporary version of the smiths. Sean who is the assistant of the head o gung ho he has confirmed I am to produce a music video, album art, lookbook, poster, flyers and tour promo. All of these outcomes need to be related so that the band are recognizable from all pieces of design.

Twin shoot

Its looking like the 14th March will be my first shoot with Twin, Content still being confirmed as is final detailing but I will be speaking with the creative director on the 11th March.

Twin Magazine

Looks like i'll be meeting with Becky this week, as I have been speaking to her this weekend and she has a few film projects coming up, which she will want me to work on. These will be fashion based films I believe and therefore I should be able to get some print based work from the shoots.

The Band

The Rialto Burns

Meeting with Gung-Ho recordings

I met with Matt Stuart, founder of Gung-ho, last thursday for a coffee and to discuss the possibility of working for them, producing a film based music video and branding package for an artist under their management. He was not alone, he was with his assistant Sean who seemed very cool. As talks proceeded the enthusiasm from both sides was apparent and Matt and Sean were extremely happy and impressed with my capabilities and my direction of work. They both agreed I was the right person for what they needed, to promote their artist and offered me the work up front. It looks almost certain that I will be producing a music video, album cover, Lookbook, Posters and Personal photography for a Band from Liverpool called 'The Rialto burns' they play indie and alternative rock, and seem very dark almost Joy Division like. Proceedings start next week as we discuss: timelines, Deadlines and meets.
