"Following months of donning cameras after work , traveling all over the
UK to shoot live sets, exclusive interviews, and music videos, the
independent production team that is Chasing Safety is finally ready to
launch their “one stop shop for all Rock media” –
www.chasingsafety.co.uk.
Oddly, whereas most similar companies start off in local pubs with
their dad’s old hand held camera, Chasing Safety came in at a higher
level – shooting Saosin and Underoath (the band who’s album their name
is influenced by) on the Taste Of Chaos tour at London’s Brixton
Academy. Stranger still, is the fact that they’ve never had to revert
to the toilet bowl circuit, instead enjoying success filming big name
bands such as The Fall Of Troy, Bullet For My Valentine, Poison The
Well and Every Time I Die.
Asked about his inspiration behind the company, owner Jamie Horton
says, “we started off in the best possible way; shooting our favourite
band at one of the most prestigious festivals in the rock scene at one
of the biggest venues in London – Saosin at Taste of Chaos Brixton.
From there, we evolved into a great company who filmed big named bands
on a regular basis. None of our success would have been possible
without the excellent team that have stuck behind me, whom I also
consider some of my best friends.“
Bearing in mind the fact that the team have only just stepped out of
the mosh pit and taken up position behind the camera; the attention
they pay to detail when shooting and editing their videos is
impressive, and their display of tenacity – sometimes shooting up to 5
gigs a month, is highly admirable.
Intending to become a central platform for all rock lovers worldwide,
the team will be updating the site on a daily basis, so be sure to
check out chasingsafety.co.uk, I guarantee you that you’ll love it."
