Follow up Interviews with Ralph Freeman for Unis Rockumentary

We have been interviewing Ralph Freeman about his recovery from the traumatic broken neck he suffered whilst surfing low tide Croyde last year. A freak accident which left Ralph initially completely paralysed. Ralph spoke about how his big wave training helped him cope during the critical moments when he also nearly drowned.

"As Ralph got closer to recovery, he was prepared to talk about the ordeal" said Mark Brindle from maniac films. "we didn't want to intrude really but Ralph thought it would help him get over the experience and get him back into the water" The interview is one of the last parts to be filmed for the Universe Inspectors Rockumentary DVD. Coming soon !

More Interviews for Universe Inspectors DVD - Hector and Amy

We have been filming more background interviews for the Universe Inspectors rockumentary DVD. We caught up with Hector Christie at Tapely manor to discuss the early years when the Unis used to practice and gig at his farm, and with the delightful miss Amy Newton who has played with the boys and has quite a bit of history with the Croyde Reggae four-some.
Weve also been down to Sidmouth the birthplace and old tramping ground of the Universe Inspectors, to get some scenic shots - lovely weather and some nice boats!

More Interviews for Universe Inspectors DVD - Al and Ken + Giles!

We have been filming yet more interviews for the Universe Inspectors rockumentary DVD. We caught up with Al Kendal from Small Town Mentality at his house to discuss the Live CD production, and with Ken Kerslake, also from STM who played drums for a summer with the boys when Marcus broke his collar bone. We recorded an 'Ode to the Inspectors' with Ken and Al giving us a rendition of a favourite Unis track 'Babylon' for the forthcoming DVD.

We also caught up with the Unis 5th member - Giles Isaac - and talked about active mixing and the acoustic properties of the Croyde village hall. Giles, bassist for The Liquidators has been doing the PAs for the Universe Inspectors for many many years and is an integral part of the bands live performance. Giles spills all the gossip on the Unis (well sort of!) for teh rockumentary DVD. Coming soon-(ish!).

Universe Inspectors "Do the Things" video test online

We've uploaded a Video test file from the "Do the things" video for the Universe Inspectors - will be part of the rockumentary DVD. This one uses H264 encoding and needs QuickTime 7 or later to run it (otherwise it might crash your browser!). Shot in DVCPRO HD 1080i/25p using the RedrockM2 35mm adapter with 85mm Nikon lens. A good time was had by all !

Weve also been recording some green screen footage with Marcus, Melv and Nick for use on a few of the Unis tracks for the DVD.
