SJW is a super talented rock band and is made up of members Simon james White (Bass/Vocals), Mitch Gasser (Guitar/Vocals) and Jerry Sadowski (Drums). They asked if FX Media could produce the visuals to their reworking/cover of the classic track ‘Making Plans for Nigel’ (by XTC), and so began a collaboration of ideas and storyboarding…
I love it when a client phones up with a film request that is so completely out of the ordinary, it simply can’t be missed. Jo is a well respected cellist, who writes, records and performs the most memorable mix of cello and effected loops; her rather unique ‘majestic soundscapes’. I now value her as…
Last week I joined the boys from the Black Hats band, to conjure up a snappy music film for their latest track ‘No More Smoke’. I’ve filmed for them a few times now, and I’ve grown to be quite a big fan indeed! Their tracks are fresh and addictive, and this new song is no…
(Scroll down past all the pics/text if you can’t wait to see the film!) INITIAL CONTACT: I remember the moment when a guy called Zee phoned me while I was at the office.

Over the weekend I was fortunate enough to spend more quality time with Traffic Experiment, a UK-based independent progressive art rock band. (You may remember my visual record of their re-working of the Doctor Who theme tune, click here for a reminder) They’re currently finalising some extra special tracks for an upcoming new album, and also for…
Girl group ‘Concrete Rose’ sing to camera Concrete Rose is a four piece girl group made up of Dani, Libby, Sarah and Kerry-Lucy. FX Media was invited along to capture their stunning vocals on camera and to witness their charm and addictive personalities! So check out this rather amazing rendition of Justin Timberlake’s ‘Cry Me…
A music video for Black Hat’s new single, ‘Kick In The Doors’ Our second time out with the Black Hats band, but this time to film a storyboarded music film. Cloning, masking and props were used in the video, to help emphasise the running theme of ‘self-obsession’.
A behind-the-scenes clip of a ‘Doctor Who’ theme rework. Traffic Experiment wanted a film to follow their live recording and production (at George Shilling’s studio) of ‘Vashta Nerada’ (a rework of the infamous Doctor Who theme). Do check out their free download of the track (via their site).
Nikki Loy is a well respected Oxford-based songwriter musician, and her creativity extended to her storyboarding collaboration with us on this music video. ‘Can I Keep You?’ is an acoustic song with heart-felt lyrics ,and so it was important that visuals and acting matched the beautiful audio. We hope to see Nikki signed up soon.…
