New vid for Killbot Kindergarten

No comments

Very pleased to present the debut music video for Killbot Kindergarten and their track ‘Back The Fuck Up’!

This one was a collaboration with Adam Sait (who I co-directed and filmed with).  He told me what they were after and showed me some of the early shots he’d been getting which totally blew me away.  I decided right then and there that I needed to be a part of the amazing weirdness of it all!

We kept the crew super small (just the band and myself), and we shot it all on a Panasonic GH2 (the results that we got from this camera are still blowing me away)!

As a freelancer, I often get caught up in my own thing, but doing projects like this and working in a team always reminds me why collaborating with other artists is so important.  Not only is it way more fun, but you nearly always end up with a finished piece that is 100% better than you originally imagined!

Check out more of the band here:

Here’s some cinemagraphs and the clip for your eyeballs.

Enjoy.

Frozen Spring – the initial shoot

No comments

Here’s a recent commission for up and coming German fashion designer Weibke Fibi Truebner.  She wanted a series of images to use in her new designs and although she only needed a couple of shots, I was super excited about the project and we ended up playing in the studio for ages.

Here’s the series that she ended up choosing:

 

And here are the same images, but treated much differently (these aren’t getting used, but I just wanted to see where I could push them):

 

 

Stay tuned, because once the clothes are finished, we’ll be having another photo shoot and putting together a little video.

Can Not Wait!

Epic mushroom group gig!

No comments

Here’s some pictures from the free gig that Mushroom Group held at Thousand £ Bend recently.  I got some snaps of Stonefield, Adalita, Bleeding Knees Club, DZ Deathrays, and World’s End Press (Owl Eyes and Sures also played but I didn’t get there in time to see them – dang)!

Have a gander…

The Letterpress Series

No comments

These are part of a still life series I did during a visit to the Brisbane Museum of Print (a letterpress and typography museum and workshop based in Brisbane).

I got my first taste of letterpress a few years ago and have been fascinated by the process and equipment ever since.  Here’s a couple of the reasons I love it so much:

1.  I get my hands dirty!  I can’t tell you how nice it is to get away from the computer.

2.  The rusty parts and bulky machinery are just beautiful.

And so that’s where this series comes in.  I wanted to capture these bits and pieces in all their rusting black and white glory.

 

So do you like Letterpress?

If you do, be sure to keep an eye out for the Brisbane Museum of Print (it’s still in the early stages of setting up, but it’s sure to do good things for the Australian letterpress and typography community).

 

Yours in fun and fascinating things,

Noel Smyth

New work with Design College Australia

No comments

I recently had the pleasure of working with Design College Australia to put together some new promotional videos for the design and photography school.

The deadline was tight and the crew was minimal (me), but I think it came up great!

 

 

What do you think?

Catcall @ Alhambra Lounge

No comments

I had the pleasure of seeing Catcall last week at Alhambra Lounge in Brisbane.

If you haven’t heard her, Catcall plays slow burning disco pop at its best.  Incredibly catchy stuff with deep sexy grooves.  The way it should be.  There’s definitely an 80′s feel to it, but 80′s in a good way!

Her new album ‘The Warmest Place’ is full of “life, sex, death, happiness, love, and heartbreak.”  You should go listen to it.

Oh and here’s a couple of pretty pictures for you…

 

 

Have you heard Catcall yet?
