Album Recording

A nice little insight into the writing and recording process of Tim Hughes

Found this whilst browsing the Worship Central website.
It looks like Tim Hughes is currently recording a new album due for release later in the year and in this short video he lets us in on some of his (and Martin Smith’s) thought & creative processes.

Be sure to check out the iPad appearance at 4:13! Go iPad synths!

When it all goes wrong

It is very gracious of Worship Central and Martin Smith to show this, but I guess they also turned it to their advantage as a bit of clever marketing.

However, it goes to show that even the most experienced worship leader still makes mistakes. 
Be encouraged, (if but in a strange way!).

Your Love Says it all

This is a song I have written that will be on an album I am making at the moment... it has not been mastered yet.....hope someone feels blessed by it. I also made a video using images of The passion to go with the song. Shan

Sundays coming

Hilarious contemporary church satire

Very funny and so true!

REDEEM CITIES_

I shot this a few weeks ago as a teaser for an event in Belfast about how the church can transform culture, cities and nations.

The concept of the film is making something new out of something that already exists.

It’s a ‘one shot’ that actually lasted just under an hour in real time, condensed to about 100 seconds in final screen time. 

The soundtrack is by Ben Mcavoy who did a great job of interpreting the brief.

Technical assistance (Math boffins) came in the form of Matt Jones and Giles Smith. 

Many thanks to Kamal who unknowingly became the main protagonist!

Look out for the appearance of a rogue power adapter that lets you know it was a ‘set up’ all along.

Bonsai

This could well be the purpose for which the good Lord created the Bonsai tree.

This video, ‘Music From A Bonsai’, is the work of a sound designer and composer called Diego Stocco. It does exactly what it says on the tin, but it’s probably not a tin you expected to come across.

Oh how he loves us

Jon Brown gave me the heads up on this guy...

Cheeky Vid, Great song. In fact I’d say a definite power tune!

He’s also got an album coming out soon, which should be good.

23 Fears

I directed this music promo about a year ago. I thought it was worth revisiting.

This Vid was a good collaborative effort…

Shot in the church hall amidst building work - the band were super patient as were the builders with playback for the vid happening for 16 plus hours.

Hurt

One of my all time favourite music videos... ...powerful stuff

The video that was released for “Hurt”, a cover of the song by Nine Inch Nails, fit Cash’s view of his past and feelings of regret. The video for the song, from American IV, is now generally recognised as “his epitaph”.
