Saxon!!

Oh my word. I have been super busy for the past month working with legendrary heavy metalers Saxon on two of their newest music videos to coincide with the release of their first single and their new album, A Call To Arms.
I have worked with fellow students and graduates from the University of Glamorgan and together we shot both videos in two days up north in Yorkshire.
I have directed and camera operated their first release - Hammer of The Gods and co-directed/ assisted and camera operated for their second video. I have also edited both videos together. It has been immense.

I have done my best to remain professional and not get starstruck by the presence of such giants, I have worked closely with the band to fine tune the final videos and have found the whole experience very rewarding.I've discovered the perils of syncing at times when reverb is introduced into a song and, as a director, have been evaluating my ability to lead people towards the final product.
Everyone involved in the project have been fantastic. Unfortunately I can't go into too much detail on the actual videos until they are released, but still it feels good to be able say that I have done it.
