Driveby Epic - Something Fictional (Music Video)

It's been a very busy time for us. So busy in fact that we awarded our free music video about 5 or 6 months ago and have only just released it! Driveby Epic were the winners and by golly can they rock. Check out their latest single Something Fictional below, and after the embed, follow links to hear more of their stuff!

Special thanks to Ted Adair and Scott Burgess for helping to shoot it, and Ernest Studios (ernest-studio.blogspot.com.au) for the rad location.

Hope you enjoy it!

February Facts!

It has been a very busy time for Balloon Tree Productions. It was October since we posted something here and since then we’ve been hard at work producing some great work!

The big thing for us has been The List. We had our second block of shooting in the middle of October and the preview screening on the 1^st of February this year. So many people put their time, effort and lives into making this the best it could be – and we’re immensely proud of what we have to show. The screening went down a treat and now we get to focus on procuring some funding to finish the film off! Here’s a link to the trailer:

We’ve also started working really closely with actors in shooting scenes specifically for showreels. It’s not always easy to get a role that shows your diversity – especially if you’re playing against type, so shooting scenes specifically for that reason makes so much sense! I don’t know why more people aren’t doing it! Check out one of Josh Futcher’s scenes here.

There’s plenty still on the horizon, and we’re going to endeavour to keep this updated as much as possible. If not, it means we’re working hard so don’t worry about us too much! In the meantime, we updated our showreel - so check it out and let us know what you think!

What's that in the shadows? A panda?

It's not often you get to film a guy in a panda suit. Or in an abandoned bowling alley. But we got to do both as part of Dark Electric's latest (and first ever!) music video for the track Shadows. It's a bit different from the usual affair - but that's what makes it so cool!

So check it out, and if you're so inclined, jump on to his website (listed below too) to grab the single and support some local talent!

Simon Astley - Sunlight

As mentioned a few days ago, we've been working hard on Simon Astley's latest film clip for the single "Sunlight". We're please to announce it's viewable right here!

We'd love to hear your thoughts on the track and the video! Big thanks to Simon and Anita for their patience during the shoot, Shaun Herbertson for some mad camera skills, as well as the lovely (and spectacular) Thornbury Theatre and Anthony Cincotta for his assistance on the day.

Month of Music

Howdy folks,

Just wanted to drop a quick update about the happenings around town - it's been musically crazy this last month and we've had a ton of projects that have revolved around music!

Firstly, we shot a music video for the super talented, Melbourne-local Simon Astley for his song Sunlight. We're hard at work cutting it together, and it has come up a treat. Very classy as it was shot at The Thornbury Theatre (complete with Grand Piano and candles). We'll let you know when it's up.

We also got to shoot the EP launch for our good pal Chris O'Neill. We're cutting his whole set together, and the footage looks ace. 4 cameras, 2 GoPro and one helluva night. That will be a little while off before you can see that, but to tide you over, here's a pretty rad screen shot

Anyway, that's it for this update. It's been busy, but loads of fun. And we can't wait to show you all what we've been up to.
