Trash & The Treasures new clip for Lost and Found.

This is a photo of the exact moment I stood on the stage at The Tote in Melbourne  for the very first time. I cannot adequately describe the feeling other than it was powerful enough for me to take a photo of my boots just standing there. This is a feeling that younger musicians than me should have. These are opportunities that are drying up as entertainment is outsourced and property is privatized. This is our last chance to save The Tote thanks to the Quixotic efforts of the crew from @thelastchancerockandrollbar and their mission to buy the Tote and put her into trust. It’s currently the most successful Pozible campaign ever but it has a ways to go. They have @trashandthetreasures support. Do they have yours? http://www.pozible.com/.../the-last-chance-to-save-the-tote

Sneak Peak at the album art of @trashandthetreasures new single 'Lost and Found' You can actually print this art out on paper and play it as a real working maze! The Maze part of this was generated on an awesome piece of free software by Rob Dawson https://codebox.net/pages/maze-generator which allows you to block out grid squares of a maze you don't want filled, an algorithm builds a maze around the free space. I worked on a 50x50 grid and blocked out the letters and the area where our logo overlays. I then bumped it out into Gimp to thicken up the lines and add the logo. Mad boffin Mate of mine Deano is currently building this in 3D so we can print out a working marble maze! Thanks to all the Trashies who 'Followed' us on Spotify in the last couple of days. We had a 9% upturn in followers and listener data for the last 28 Days was calculated by Spotify as part of the Playlist application. If you could give our tunes a bit of a thrash over the next couple of weeks it certainly couldn't hurt! Cheers. https://www.instagram.com/p/CoqiG1-S6hS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Finally getting somewhere with the editing of the @trashandthetreasures clip for Lost and Found on @shotcuteditor. Computer is moving a lot faster since I made low res proxies of the hi-def footage. The process I’ve landed on is to work through the footage instrument by instrument laying out the best shots. I’ve Worked through the drums, bass and guitar so far moving on to vocals. I’m at a really weird point where it appears there is no singer in the band! Every pass gets harder as I need to make progressively tougher choices between shots. For this reason I’ve left the drone footage for last as I can’t bear to cut away at it. Ironically after taking so long to perfectly synch each take, I have started to “cheat” by using closeups of fills and solos elsewhere in the song from where they were actually played. Anyway the band clip is starting to take shape. I am a little disconcerted by the fact I have a whole bin full of storyline footage as well. I’m not actually sure how the hell it’s all going to fit in a three and a half minute song! Meanwhile the finished track is due back from mastering any day now and we just got a slot on 25th March for a single launch gig at @wholelottalovebar with support from @eatthedamnorange so the clock is seriously ticking! #diyfilmmaking #videoclip #opensource #shotcut #editing #rock #musicvideo #music #rockandroll https://www.instagram.com/p/CoLIUcOBUFV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
