Say goodbye to The Dirty Backbeats

Monday, December 15th, 2008

The weekend just past marks a momentous event in the history of Leicester, The Dirty Backbeats played their last ever gig. The gig itself going on until one in the morning at Sumo, a venue they have been playing at since the very early beginnings. Having been such a large catalyst in the Leicester music scene we felt that this final gig needed to be recorded. We were there with our SLR and a wide angle lens.


We have been following The Dirty Backbeats around for quite some time and have developed a little archive of content. Below are some of the videos from our archive. Some of you may remember braunstonegate.com, now a defunct website. All of the content you see below was produced for this website.

The Dirty Backbeats will be sorely missed. We wish you luck with all your future endeavors.

Rockingham and blog re-design!

Rockingham Panorama

It has been a busy couple of weeks here at the Media Renegades studio, we have been working hard to get our new website finished and online whilst meeting our all other deadlines. We hope that you like the new look of our blog, and will take some time out to explore our new site as well. It’s not completely finished yet, but we have been saying all along that we will get it nicely rounded off for January, which we should be on target for.

The pic that you see above is a shot we snapped quickly whilst at Rockingham racing circuit. We were there working on a project for Road User Education (RUE), who had been left in a bit of a pickle by another production company who had used some footage from a Microsoft game that they couldn’t get clearance for. Fortunately we were able to come up with a solution to the problem; to create our own video footage treated in the style a video game. All it involved was a quick visit to Rockingham, Europe’s fastest racing circuit, for a really quick shoot. Then we had a quick sit down with Chris from Rockingham who let us go though some of their own promotional footage which they were kind enough to let us use for this production. All this combined meant that we were able to produce a really nice piece for RUE within the time frame and budget.

Keep checking back for updates, we should have a lot more coming soon.
