Making a music video.

Haven't heard of them before you mentioned them =) Checked them out though on mp3.com. Not bad. More Pop-rock than metal yes.

Nah, these guys aren't signed to any label or anything, it's all independant, meaning they paid for the CD and all out of their own pockets, and believe me, that stuff isn't cheap. The steel mill would be great, because the name of the song is called "trial of fire" and I imagined lots of firey stuff....I'd rather stay away from that though, and instead maybe find a abandoned house or something that can look good but scary...

When I say these guys are good though, that is not exaggerating, they have been a band for atleast 8 years now, and Jimmy's guitar really pulls the whole thing together, without him (a great guitar player) on the guitar, the band wouldn't be as good as they are.

I did a cover for their album Great Lizard Cuckoo, as well as the animation on the CD. You can see more about them and some of my artwork at http://home.bip.net/popfiction/. The swedish whistler was my idea of a little joke :)

Ok. Alex. If they are not signed then im imagining that the video will be mainly to sell the band when approaching a label. So make sure it brings out the band and how kickass they are when performing. Ie. charisma / stagepresence is everything.

Keith. Yep. thats the site i found when looking for them.

Btw. ive made videos for Dark Tranquility and Beseech. Anyone heard of them?
