April has been a busy month for Dead Duck, seeing DoP Beard joining forces with operator Chris Murray of MangaDuck and editor Caroline Mayne of Sleepless Studios to produce the absolutely stunning promo video for his band Even Flowers Kill’s track “Ruth Has Information That Will Destroy You” from their debut ep “Smile For The Camera” out on Copro Records and available to pre-order now.

See it here:

After the glorious results that the team got out of the Canon 5d MKII on the promo, High Definition Magazine were quick to take notice and Beard was contacted to feature in the latest edition of the mag. You can see the article featuring a photograph of Operator Chris Murray with Production Manager Graham Cox here

By this time,  Sarah had picked up Writer/Director Jess Brownrigg’s latest script, “Equations,” a psychedelic mockumentary about a Father and Son living with the condition of Synesthesia, (A condition in which normally separate senses are not separate. Sight may mingle with sound, taste with touch, etc. ) and knew that the 5d would be the perfect way to bring the subject to life.

Production was completed on April 26th and we’re waiting with baited breath to see the finished results. Check back for more about the shoot and progress reports on the cut.

Until then, EFK’s debut EP “Smile For The Camera” is available to pre-order here:

This is Yosh (Sarah) here, finally using the facilities so kindly set up for us by our tech-wizard-in-chief, Adrian.

We’ve been positively snowed under of late but I thought I’d take a moment to update you all on what we’ve been upto and what we’ve got on the horizon…

We’re still editing away at the Official Bloodstock Open Air 2007 documentary and are hoping to be able to show you all a teaser trailer as soon as possible. We had a stupid amount of fun working and playing with everyone at the festival. A little bit like this:

Adrian sadly doesn’t feature in this photograph because he took it.
Props to the 4 DJ’s of the Apocalypse and good luck on your tour, dudes!

For more Bloodstock-based madness, go over to their official site to learn more about what you can expect at the 2008 festival!
Adrian will be taking the directorial wheel for the next DDP outing; shooting a promo for Gravel Soul’s ‘Zainjeerain.’
You can check out their myspace HERE and we recommend you do!

Adrian has spent a lot of time locked in the studios playing with smoke, light and camera casings so we’re all very excited, if a little scared, about what he’s going to come up with…..

So aside from waiting for the Bloodstock teaser, what else can you expect to see clogging up your bandwidth gracing the site soon?

In promo videos:

• Alley Cat Dogs‘ ‘How Freaky’

• Baptist’s ‘War’

• Squila’s ‘Get Ready For’

• Ugobam’s ‘Best Friendz’

Stay tuned, kids.

Love,

Yosh.
