Goodbye Blogger - We're @ Army of Id Now!

It has been fun, if neglectful times, here on the old blogger blog.

However, all good things must come to an end, and this is one of them.

You see, our main site, Army of Id has been made over, with a funky new Joomla! back end.

So... we can add all the updates and news we like there, so that makes this Blog pretty redundant.

Roll on the web 2.0 revolution, and thanks for the outlet Blogger.

PS: Adsense is pretty irritating. If you have any requirement for digital strategy, TV Production, music composition or general video and audio post production, we suggest you completely ignore the banner ad above this post and just contact us directly.

But you're an intelligent person, and you know this.

See you on the new home page!

Army of Id - New Audio and Video Post Rooms

New Audio Post and Video Production Suite

We are delighted to report that our launch for our new audio booth and video suite went down very well with all who attended. All things being equal, everybody seems to have had a great time, fuelled with lots of Tiger Beer and Kopparberg Cider supplied by the good people at Richmond Marketing.


Music on the night was provided with DJ sets from Steve Whiteside and Alex Meehan, who cut some choice mixes to visuals we projected onto our White Cyche Wall.
That's Camille & Debbie on the left, Camille recorded some cracking tunes, written by Philly Campbell, with us last year.




Some special mention should be made to Fiona & Aidan of Nostromo Restaurant, who did a great (and timely!!) job of catering to the masses, and the soakage provided probably helped prevent things getting out of hand too early!!



Those of you who have ventured out to deStudio facilities will of course recognise Ian Murphy, below left, and Catherine and Ivan. Catherine is shown below demoing Tiger and Kopparberg with Jonathan's wonderful girlfriend, Rachel. (Purely for Marketing reasons).



Ian is there on the left, he had much success fundraising on the night for (allegedly) worthy causes, and Ivan is on the right, reverse engineering the Tiger brewing process.

Hats off to you both, boys. Ivan is also pictured in our wonderful new Audio booth, but we forgot to get more of that in the pics, so we'll come back to it again.

Some Kind of Special Order of Merit has been conferred on Kyle O Connell from How's That, an excellent production Company based in Greystones.

That's him on the right, and Camille's buddy (and seeming manager...) Roxy to the left.
Kyle, we respect your party ethic and stamina, and Salute You. Kyle totally rocks in our book.




All that I can say to sum up is that I really enjoyed myself, and that's all that matters...
No really, big up to all who made it, and we've decided it was so much fun we're going to do more of it again. Maybe not on a Wednesday. Watch this space...

Army of Id are pleased to announce the addition of audio post production
to their extensive facilities.
This new department will be headed by Jonathan Darby,
formally a post mixer at Slate Post Production.
The Pro Tools suite will be available to cater for all types of audio post
at very competitive rates, with high quality mics and preamps for voiceover work.

We are in the process of building a recording booth at the moment, and when it is completed we will post back on how it looks!

Endless Talent 1: Photography

This is one of the many photos to be found on my very talented nephew's flickr site.
I'll post a link to Kev "photovanglist' Martin's pics soon, may even lift a few to fluff out the blog somewhat.

Nat's flickr site (accessed from the pic above) documents the recent arrival of my niece's daughter, Aisha Zara, amongst other events.

He is a strong advocate of the use of film and chemical photography (as opposed to digital techniques and equipment) and some of the work convincingly reflects the strengths of this medium. He also has a fridge full of discontinued and obselete film formats, much to the delight of the whole family, no doubt.

Take a look...
