C.R. Avery On Location With Tasty Ears Photos

On Sunday March 27th the Tasty Ears Team met up with C.R. Avery to film two live performance in two different locations around Vancouver.  Our first stop was in a sweet vintage looking office on the top floor of a storage warehouse in downtown Vancouver.  It made for a cool backdrop while providing an intimate shooting location for their song "Dungeon Of Love".  Man these guys are a fun crew with a whole bunch of high octane energy to spare.

The second location was the always cool HighLife Records on Commercial Drive.  In this location the band striped down the gear and went with an acoustic guitar a mic and a whole bunch of harmony.  They performed their song" Young Mechanic's Bride" for us and a few lucky HighLife customers.  They sounded great and they looked great surrounded by the wall to wall vinyl.

Before we got going we had to take a moment to do a little browsing, it was too hard to resist.  It's like being a kid in a cool musical candy shop.

Tasty Ears On Location With Abriosis Video

You saw the photos now see the video.  But first a quick recap of the day leading up to the shoot...

I scouted the interior of the Chapel to see where I wanted to start shooting the video from and where I wanted to finish the video.  I found a few great starting points but settled on an area behind the stage with a unique view of the band.  And I found the spot where I wanted to finish, all I had to do was figure everything else out in between. I mapped out roughly how I was going to do this (in our On Location style of one continuous take) while the band warmed up.  While George Couling of Knuckleduster Music Inc. worked out the levels with the band, myself and James Pettit worked out the lighting we wanted.  And once everything was set up and everyone was in place we had lights, we had sound, we had camera, and we had a whole lot of death metal action.

Tasty Ears On Location With Abriosis

On March 6th we met up with the guys from Abriosis to rock out to a little death metal!  Damn those guys are fierce when they are playing, but when the music stops, they are the nicest guys (don't tell them I said that).
We filmed a live performance of "Between The Bridge And The Water" at a cool spot called The Chapel.  It's a great venue with an upstairs and a down stairs with a number of different rooms to host rock shows, art shows and whatever you want shows.  It was a great spot to capture Abriosis in its natural habitat, which is a venue where they can turn all their dials up to eleven for that extra push over the cliff and really go for it! And they did just that. Nice work guys.
