The 80eight Blog has MOVED!!

Hello!!

This blog is now retired and you can visit the new and improved version here ::

Latest Music Video / Ramzy Ross

Here's our first ever music video - Ramzy Ross and 'For Real'. Shot on location in Glasgow last year, it's been in post production for a couple of months, both music and visuals. We've learnt so much about the film making process -  it's been exciting, enjoyable and ever so rewarding. We want to do more!! This is our first and we're getting better.

So, if you're a musician or in a band, call 80eight today. We can do so much for you. Great music deserves great visuals. We CAN get you noticed.

The Parkinson's Pledge

A short interlude now from photography, design and hanging around with Rock Stars...Once you've thrown one telly out of the window, the next 75 are pretty much the same. And anyway, these new fangled  flat screen numbers, just don't the make the same satisfying explosion on impact with your Bentley, as the old CRT's used to do.

Here is Colleen, explaining why you, should sign the Global Parkinson's Pledge. You don't even need a pen - you can do it online here :

Music and Band Photography / Latest CD Cover

We've just finished a CD cover for the ever fabulous Lost in Audio. All photography, layout and design done by 80eight and it's turned out really well and completely reflects LIA's new musical direction...Which you can find out all about by going to see them at The Liquid Rooms, Edinburgh on the 11th of February.

Latest Children's Photoshoot

We had a great shoot in Edinburgh last week with the Goldsmiths - on location in their home, where everyone was relaxed and enjoying themselves, which was reflected in some glorious photographs. If you're interested in getting some memorable shots of your children and don't feel like stepping into a studio, then give us a call - we're happy to travel. Just one thing to be aware of though if you do invite us to your home : tea, no sugar for me, and ginger beer for Colleen. Thanks!

Terminal Star

A beautiful song by Scottish singer, Karine Polwart. 

Some songs have such resonance, both aurally and lyrically, that they seem to echo in your head like your own memories. I've been listening to it constantly. Check it out if you have the chance.

"You're a beautiful trace

Across time and space

You're a thing that once shone

And you still shine bright

In the darkest night

Though you're already gone"
