So what has been going on with team CBP? We've begun the year with a very heavy workload editing up a host of projects and planning a fair few new ones. Here is a very brief run down of things.
THE GHOST OF A THOUSAND
We've worked with TGOAT numerous times over the years and now we are aiming to bring two special bits of work your way. Firstly, the new music video which will be coming your way at the end of this month. The second is a project that has taken many hours of travelling, many late nights and many a piss take from Jag Jago (guitarist of the band and good friend). This project has yet to have details released, and we are saying no more than that. Details will be released over the next couple of months, but we promise it will be worth the wait.
EVERY TIME I DIE
We headed into London on Christmas week very briefly to film our friends in Every Time I Die play a small london show at the Borderline at the very end of their Taste Of Chaos European tour. Supported by their friends Maylene & The Sons Of Disaster, the show was off the chain and saw many a stage dive along with a couple of split open heads! The footage was filmed exclusively for the bands upcoming DVD release and will be sure not to disappoint any fans. The DVD is being created by long term friend and videographer of Every Time I Die Doug Spangenberg. As always when we receive more details, you will be the first to know
TR14ERS
Slight delay in the release of the full documentary due to various unforeseen technical problems, but we are pleased to let you all know that this long awaited piece of work produced solely by Crashburn Productions will be available on You Tube and our Vimeo from Sunday January 10th onwards. Links will be provided in our next update, but if you can't wait that long, just search 'TR14ers Royal Gala Performance' on either of the sites and you'll be presented with the video.
SHAPED BY FATE 'RIFFAGE AND WRECKAGE' DVD
Originally we planned for this project to be released after more filming had been done in 2010, but after a long discussing and much deliberation, we will be bringing it to you this year. And when we say this year, we don't mean September, we mean, around February! The DVD is currently being finished off in the edit suite by Ryan Mackfall (video editing) and our new kid on the block Chris Shaw (motion graphics & VFX). If you think you've seen it all before, be prepared for a shock, chris know's his stuff and we've gone to town on the titles for this DVD.
Sale of the DVD will premier on the bands very own merch tables on their next UK tour, so if you want to snatch up a copy be sure to keep an eye on the Shaped By Fate myspace/twitter or on any of our places on the web, the links are below. We give you advance notice, we accept no responsibility for how warped your mind may be after seeing some of the habits Paul Fortescue has. You have been warned!

02/12/09 | Big Updates After Busy Times Away From The Blog
Greetings everyone,
wow is that the time, we didn't realise that over 2 months has passed? Time flies. But what it boils down to is a lot of hardcore editing, cleaning up old stocks, being on the road filming and doing bits locally for various companies and organisations. Much of the work has had exclusivity rights meaning a natural delay period before we can show you all via our site. Were pleased to say that a video update is however coming to the site this week. Here's a written breakdown of what the team have been doing.
VANS SHOES
So as many of you know we were at boardmasters filming not only for Relentless but also VANS. The first of the podcasts is now available for download, check the vans uk website for more details, or if you are a bit too lazy you can check out the embedded version below. The weekend had some awesome music in the tent and the action was non stop on the stage. The second part of the podcast is due to be released very shortly.
We were also at the OFF THE WALL MUSIC NIGHT in Birmingham which saw yet again more blinding music acts taking the stage. The podcast is currently in the final stages of the edit process and should be coming your way very soon. Keep your eyes on the vans website for more details, or even better, add our facebook page or twitter (details at the end of this blog entry).
MARINERS
We took a leap of faith, yes we really did. Music industry work is great, we all love working with bands, but realistically at the moment (in our current economical climate) this won't support the company 100% of the time and won't allow it to grow to be stronger. So we've branched out into pastures new and collaborated with a good friend. Naturally with all our endeavours we won't work with anyone that is unable to produce a high quality product, and Sam (our friend) is no exception. His work is becoming increasingly popular in the southwest and he is the man behind our latest website. His company goes by the name of Webdesigner Cornwall. Our fusion will take the form of a project designed to work exclusively with business' and organisations around the country. Watch out world, here comes the Collaborations team. That's all we are saying for now. For more kryptic clues follow the collaborations twitter: http://www.twitter.com/collaborat1ons
Mariners involved myself and Tom working on photo and video which had the angle to show the world how mariners is one of the best takeaways in the United Kingdom. You think we're joking? Check out the website for yourself for a look at our photo and video skills combined with a top notch website, all brand spanking new, developed for a business that has never had a website before. We think you'll enjoy it. Once you've visited their website, visit them in person and find out how real takeaway food should look and taste: http://www.marinerstakeaway.com .
The Mariners team then asked us back a month later to film another video but based outside of the business. The brief was to show how the company team build outside of the work place to improve relations within it! Check it out below, or on the mariners website.
PENRYN FOOTBALL DEVELOPMENT CENTRE
Our long awaited PFDC video has been released and can now be seen on the PFDC website: http://www.pfdc.co.uk. The PFDC website was also created under Collaborations!
CANCER BATS
Our friends from Canada visited our region of the UK for a short 2 day period where we filmed both shows they were involved with. As always it was great fun and the results are going to be put together for use by the band as online content.
F*CKED UP
Canadian rockers F*ucked Up co-headlined one of the Cancer Bat's south west shows. We filmed their set which turned out to be one of the most eventful ones of 2009! A video release of one track from the night will be online in early 2010 for all to see.
TR14ERS
Cornish registered charity the 'TR14ers' held a gala event at the Hall For Cornwall in September and we were called in to record the evening for a short documentary. The event saw performances from the Tr14ers dance troop and various local bands and choirs, all watched under the guise of the charity's royal patrons. Hosted by the world famous Sir Tim Rice the evening was a complete success and highlights via the documentary will soon be available for all to see on our website.
THE GHOST OF A THOUSAND
Over the past 2 years we have been involved with The Ghost Of A Thousand on various events throughout the country. This year saw us take to the road with them on a 6 week long stint on the Eastpak tour to film the goings on for one of the UK's most talented punk rock bands. Be it on stage, in the dressing room, or broken down on a french motorway, we were there. The culmination of this will take form in two main parts. One, a music video and two, a visual project which cannot currently be named (don't you hate it when we do that!). As usual, we've got nothing more to say until both us and the band are happy with the final idea, and its direction is 100% set in stone. Don't worry though, we are about 79% there, honest.
The guys have also released 2 of our live audio tracks from their Boardmasters 2009 performance on a limited edition 7" vinyl. This is something we are over the moon with, especially myself as it's been released on Burning Heart/Epitaph, the same as Refused, who have always been a solid influence musically to me. Not only that, it was mixed at Abbey Road studios. Thanks go out to our man Bob Barnes who did a brilliant job recording everything 'audio' at boardmasters. The vinyl was available on the entire Eastpak tour but should be available also online very soon. Take a look below at a thing of beauty.
BLACKHOLE LIVE & IN SESSION All Blackhole Live & In Session videos are now online and viewable below or on our handy vimeo album which contains all videos linked with the project. Click here to visit the album now.

20/08/09 | Relentless Boardmasters in Association with VANS
What a week, one of our busiest of the year, and possibly, one of our busiest ever. The people at Relentless Energy called on the Crashburn Productions team to provide the necessary high quality visual content from the festival, so we arrived at Boardmasters on the Wednesday for 5 days of surfing, sports and music action. Our mission was to capture an entire overview of the week for the Relentless Energy website. Tom was also on hand to snap everything and anything, taking over 7000 photos by the end of the project. It was long days, long nights and not much sleep but we came through with the results, showing the festival as one of the UK's best surfing and music events. It was a week of non-stop action, so if you missed out this year (shame on you), make sure you get involved next time around. You can check out the podcast and some of the photos by clicking HERE. Below is a very small selection of our favourite photos from the week along with the tradition vimeo link to the podcast where you can view it in glorious HD.
Coming next week, THE FULL RUN DOWN ON THE VANS TENT. Yes, that's right we were there too, working for Vans to provide official content, but all of that coming next week! Stay tuned folks.
07/06/09 | PFDC Shoot
We were involved in a shoot the other week for Penryn Football Development Club, a local organisation which is gaining much respect amongst Cornish youngsters as a place to learn how to become the next David Beckham. We kid you not these kids have got some great skills. Video and photos were shot, and both areas were highly successful. We came away with some truely inspiring visuals which you will see appear over the next month or two on the PFDC website. For now here are some photos which Mr Griffiths took. The video part is currently being colour graded and prepared for the web. When it's completed a link will be posted for you all to see so keep coming back and checking up. As far as the photos go, you can see why we are the obvious choice for photography out of any local competitors. I'll stop ranting and let the images do the talking.
28/06/09 | Confirmed! We feature on the new Every Time I Die album bonus DVD
We've just had it confirmed that our 'Cities and Years' video we will be featuring on the forthcoming brand spanking new Every Time I Die album 'New Junk Asthetic' bonus DVD! We are flattered that the band have requested our work to be a part of their next audio/visual masterpiece. It is also a privilege to have it featuring on a piece of work filmed and created by Doug Spangenberg, a videographer who has inspired Crashburn Productions on many levels.
Every Time I Die recently signed to American music giants Epitaph, meaning this will be a world wide release. A release date has yet to be confirmed.
So we've just come back from a weekend in Watford working with our friends in Blackhole to produce 'Blackhole - Live & In Session'.
The project started on the evening of Friday 19th June at Broadfield studios in Watford, after a long drive from our base camp (having to negotiate the M25 in rush hour part of the way). After everyone set up their gear we did a few test shots and then called it a night before the next day's full hit.
Next day we kicked off early at 9.30am and proceeded to bash out the tunes until around 5pm. Things got hot pretty quick thanks to the 4 Parcans we modified with some full CT blue gel's to take away the orangeness. We had to take regular breaks to make sure the guys in the band weren't going to pass out. Alex (drummer) had the worst deal out of everyone due to the fact he had a parcan directly behind his back. In case you're wondering how hot that is, its like playing drums hard and fast for 6 odd hours with your back to a blazing fire. Sound was recorded by studio owner Thomas Mitchener (better known as Mitch from Spycatcher and Haunts) who was one of the best hosts we've had in any studio project to date. We always find it easier to work in conditions where everyone is relaxed, friendly and generally pretty jovial and this instance was no exception.
The project is looking to hit the public eye in September time when Blackhole's new album 'Dead Hearts' is released. Four songs were recorded, and that is ALL we are saying! There will be a series of poster adverts being created by us for the web and also a video teaser that will be with you around August. If you can't wait that long, never fear, here are a couple of photos from the batch that Tom G took on the weekend. We like to keep you guys interested!

07/06/09 | Photography Section Update
We've updated the photo section of the site with some recent work by Tom Griffiths. Check it out and see why our photography services are amongst some of the best around. We really can go beyond what you expect.
16/05/09 | Cancer Bats release brand new version of Hail Destroyer containing a DVD with our live video!
Canadian Punk Metallers Cancer Bats have just released their BONUS version of their highly acclaimed album 'Hail Destroyer' containing 4 new tracks and also a DVD. On this rather shiny nice DVD you can get a whole host of behind the scenes footage of the band on the road, backstage and practically anywhere else they went with their camera. Tacked in with this highly amusing footage are 5 live performances of various tracks. We are pleased to announce that 1 of the 5 performances is a video we completed for the band earlier this year. 'Sorceress' was shot at Glasgow's plush ABC venue while the band were supporting Funeral For A Friend on their 'Memory And Humanity' UK tour. Make sure you get out there and grab a copy of this album because it should be staple in any riff lovers record collection. It's available from all major record retailers (online or on the high street). Go grab yourselves a copy (pictured below) and enjoy!
If you can't get your fix on Cancer Bats till next month's pay cheque, then check out this exclusive video of them performing 'Hail Destroyer' on the same night (video due to go up on our site from the next video update):
If you've been keep an eye on our blogspot page then you'll be aware of a project we've been working on along side all our other bits and pieces called 'Project Slip'. We are editing a set of footage the band had filmed at their Victoria BC show last summer for the 'Lights In The Sky' tour. This was the brainwave of the band's art direct Rob Sheridan who has been involved with many of the band's visual projects. The footage is currently being edited, and with around 2.5 hours of it, we've got our work cut out. Do not fear though if you are an avid NIN fan and can't wait to see some of the footage, we will be release 3 teaser videos for all to see over the period of May. These will be release primarily on our Vimeo and then placed on the site at a later date when we do a video update (video updates come every 2 months with new material). If you are looking for a more detailed look into what we are up to then check out our blogspot where we post more regular updates. This is a non profit project and will be available for download for everyone!
A link to our vimeo can be found on the top right of this page under the CONTACT US header! Go and take a look from 6pm BST (GMT+1) today!
UPDATE 22:40:
