"Dre's 2 Cents" - The Filmshort

I just realised that ever since the forum became "artists community", there's a lot more scope for work outside the music field!

Thus, I've started this thread to show a filmshort that I did about a year ago.

Some of y'all may have seen it or not, but basically it's a 7-minute vid which is a journey into what I do when I'm not recording. It's an insight into my area by which I not only work but play too hence the subtitle: "A Night In The Life Of New Cross" along with Rafael Perez (Leafar here on the ORG).

I also wrote the backing music, got a few unlisted (for personal reasons) camera crew and it's also co-directed by Leafar.

So enjoy this voyeuristic journey in2 my night life!

I thought U guys were familiar, I was performing over at the Avalon Stage with my other band "Mukka" at Glasto' 2004. Mad props on the competition!

Gotta let me know when y'all play The Telegraph again!

Hmmm...its ok. Its nicely done i guess, but isnt it just you and a few guys out and about? Id hardly call it a film or "filmshort" or whatever. More like a bit of fun, since it doesnt have a plot as such, or any kind of message.

Well, I guess you're right there but I guess U'd have to know that I spend a lot of time in the studio and don't really go out much in a social scene unless I'm contributing to it nod

What I'm trying 2 get across is what I do and where I go when I DO get out and the people in my social life as opposed to my musical life So I guess this was my 'plot' as such.

I Wasn't sure if it was a 'music video', as I thought it was too long to be one but it had very minimal dialogue so the 'filmshort' tag seemed apt... suggestions welcome indeed!

I've done a 'concert-film' too which is in effect the album launch party for my band "Mukka" last year, just finished a documentary on the tour I did of France with my other band "Professor Nohair & The Wiglifters" too.

I'm jusglad that I can finally showcase my other works aside from the music here too! thumbs up!
