Subrusion Live

Last Friday (25th, june) Subrusion, Rusty snake and Master tang played at the capial's Saloon bar. We did a music video for Subrusion a few weeks ago so we decided to do a live multi iso cam shoot for them aswell. Phill organised the shoot and the crew consisted of myself, Jules, Mason Pierre & Phill. We rocked up to the venue at about 6:30pm but had some time to kill because for what ever reason we couldnt start setting up till 7:30pm. when we finally got in we set up all our camera equipment for the shoot. At this stage a few people started to turn up to the gig. As we were already set up and didnt have to film the first band Rusty snake myself and the crew chiled out and had a drink. Rusty snake didnt sound to bad but there music sounded a little same old and they didnt have a great stage presence. As the next Bands Master tang was mates with phill we recorded them aswell. they were louder and heavier than the previous band and suited the crowd alot more. I described them to my mate there as F**k yeah music, because when you watch them thats how they make you feel. the band was pritty hard to film because they moved around alot and often turned there backs to the crowd. I first watch master tang played last year at Dusty Days and they had come alog way since then. Subrusion was the last band to play and they came on stage at about 11pm. Myself, Mason and Jules took it in terns to opperate the 2 frunt cameras and the digital SLR. You would be supprised how heavy a video camera get after recording handheld and moving around while filming a live band. the band plays a mix of milotic and progressive metal and each song goes for about 10mins. Despite this the band sound really good live and have a good stage presence. It was alot of fun to film them despite being harassed by the ocasional drunk metal head. Subrusion played for about an hour and after their set did an encour for the 50od people that ended up at the gig. It was a shame more people didnt come because it was a really good friday night. the footage of the band all looks really good and we got some good band photos that i have put up on my flickr.

What have you done!

For the MPI-104 class we have a goal to make an online presence on the internet. This is done through a number of websites. the 3 main ones we are using are Blogger, Flickr and Del.icio.us. firstly I set up my blogger account, an oline jurnal where you post things that intrest you or your point of view. Then a Del.icio.us account where you save links to your favourate sites. and finally flicker where you post photos on the net.I struggled to start of with when doing this assingnment expecially when linking everything up. It also takes alot more time than expected to get everything in working order and linked together. However in the last few weeks i have started to get the hang of it all and im becomeing more femilior with how everything works. I struggled with my del.icio.us account with getting interesting links as i dont use the internet all that much. This is one of the reasons why I am doing this subject, to explore more of what can be done online. The Website i find most use full is Flickr, it is a good way you can get your photos out there and share them with your family and friends. Now that i have become more familiour and interested in what can be done in the subject I will be able to be more pro active in my assesments. It is also good to see there is more to the net then porn and my-space....

Went up to the sunshine coast to go to the beach which was so nice up there. we also went to movie world which was so awesome. the 2 best rides i went on were the lethal weapon ride which was crazy, and the wild west log ride which was also cool. we also spent a day at the gold coast, where we went to the beach and went shopping. Im hoping to go back up there again some time later in the year.
