ABOUT US
Phil, Tony, Nick
and I are Manband enthusiasts and as many of you will know,
regulars at Man and offshoot gigs. The primary aim of this
work is simply to attempt to capture the fantastic experience
of seeing Man and the other related bands live, on film.
We believe the quality of the music is such that it deserves
to be captured.
Phil
is also strongly involved in raising funds for the Morriston
Hospital Neurosurgery Department and Llanelli Hospice and
we usually donate a percentage of the profit from the sale
of these products to these causes.
We should
probably also point out that these films are made and sold
with the permission of and on behalf of the artists involved.
These
films are made on a very low budget although we aim to keep
the quality level as high as possible using the equipment
at our disposal. The films have become more elaborate as
time has gone on culminating in the 4 camera shoot at the
Patti Xmas gig in December 04 and the addition of dts 5.1
soundtracks combining recordings taken through the mixing
desk with “ambient” room mics on recent soundtrack recordings.
Everything we do will be in true 16:9 Anamorphic Widescreen.
The
biggest problem we have is having either no, or at best
a very limited amount of control over the lighting at the
venues in which we film. The lighting conditions can make
a very big difference to the end results.
One
of the main reasons for this website is that it allows us
to make available screenshots and mp3 clips to give everybody
an idea of the quality of the product before they buy it.
We don’t want anybody to be disappointed because the DVDs
don’t look as polished as their Yes or Eric Clapton DVDs!
We are
always pleased to receive feedback about any of our products
particularly if you have any ideas about how they could
be improved, or if you have any suggestions for what you
think we should film in the future. Please feel free to
