THis project I envisioned to display many of my talents in a single project. Design, video shooting (on a Nokia N8 mind you), video editing, sound production, social media marketing and penetration and web design. It took me a few months to complete from start to finish, on a shoe-string budget. 
I shot the video en route to Ladismith where my band do our studio recordings, and on the way back from there. Shot on the picturesque Route 62 roadway. It's filled with many rolling hills, rivers and even sports some wild life too. The last part of the video was shot in Cape Town and was the only part of the video that I had some assistance.  My friend, Wesley, helped me out with these shots. (Thanks Wez!)

The mask was custom made by aFreakaSA and it was R300, the only other finances one can factor in were the social media marketing I implemented which totalled to a R1000, a tripod I got at GameStores for R250 and a mobile tripod (for my N8) I got from Moovit. All in all this and my organic social media penetration techniques garnered 10 000+ views on the video so far.

The track was a mix of 'noise' (the opposite of music) and some vocoded lyrics I came up with in a jiffy. It's a fun track with a dirty bass that's easy to listen to and even easier to get stuck in your head. You can download the track below.
I even dabbled a bit with Weebly, the website builder, to build a landing page for CHKN, and although some of the great features you have to pay for, it offers great value for a free site builder. You can see a screen shot of the site below and you can visit it by clicking here: CLUCK
ANyhoo, if you read this far, I really appreciate it. Please do watch and share the video and enjoy the CHKN!
