Myspace: Coming together in the streets of Glasgow, King Arthur's Men was formed by three students at that time enrolled in the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama studying varying types of Music and coming from all different parts of the world. The band now consists of four musicians, acting almost as a collective. Alastair Caplin, on Fiddle and Percussion, is a full time musician and plays with other bands such as Alastair Roberts, and the John Langan Band. Alastair hails from the Isle of Lewis. Bryan Benner, our vocalist and guitarist (and on percussion) is currently studying for his BMus in Vocal Studies, while also playing full time with King Arthur's Men (unless he's off gallivanting across America..). Bryan grew up in America in Florida and California. Hazen Metro is on the BA - Scottish Music, Piping course and is studying Scotland's vast traditions and music with a focus on the highland bagpipe. Hazen grew up in the small North-Eastern, mountainous state of Vermont. Our final and newest member is John Langan, who is also a full time musician, playing gigs with The John Langan Band and being Glasgow's most rocking busker. John plays Guitar and Percussion with us, bringing styles ranging from Klezmer to Scottish Folk. Combined we are King Arthur's Men, a truly powerful and eclectic collective.
Vimeo: Filmed at the end of the 2 day F-Stop Academy Cinematography workshop in Dublin when we were in wind down mode. Shot on a pre-production Canon 7d.
I took the Canon 7d, Zacuto Tactical rig, Z-Finder V2 and one lone lens, a Canon 35mm f1.4, which becomes more like a 50mm lens on the 7d. So a bit like what I did with Sofia's People (but I didn't have the Zacuto rig for that).
I shot 1/50th of a second as I was shooting 24p and to match the 50hz frequency of the artificial all around me in Temple Bar.
I also shot some stuff 720p 50p with shutter at 1/100th to get the slow motion shots of the juggler which were conformed to 23.98p in Cinema tools to create the beautiful slow motion.
Sound on the last bit was just the internal mono cam mic as I didn't want a big mic on top of the camera.
Big thanks To Darragh and Emma for organizing the workshop. To all the people attended and especially the people who came to the intensive 1 day Cinematography practical workshop on Sunday. Jala (from Germany), Cathal (from N. Ireland) and Jean-Jacques (from France) stayed on another night and joined me for the night shooting. We had a great time. You may also spot my partner in crime Den Lennie a couple of times here.
Music is appropriately by the great THIN LIZZY and is of course Whiskey In The Jar.
Minor colour balance grading was done. That's all to take out the yellow of the sodium lights.
Smoking may look cool on camera kids but it's bad for you! The reason so many smokers in this? All the smokers are outside, all the non smokers are inside due to smoking ban. I hope you notice the one in my mouth was not lit! :-)

It may well have been. Pity that building was destroyed, I'll bet it really tied the block together.
