I promptly took a quick shot of it with my Canon digital SLR and was quite pleased with what turned up!

We humbly recognise the strengths of Social Media and that to create exciting, rich and invigorating content that generates a buzz we should not limit ourselves to standard website design. This entertaining green screen project represents Perius’ first venture into the world of video production for online consumption and digitial distribution and showcases our talents and ambitions in the medium.

Guildford-based UK indie-rock band 51/50’s were looking for a music video to show off their latest single, to help market themselves online and to create a buzz around the band.

Hypnotized is a raw, energetic foot stopping rock tune, true to the bands form. Its punchy lyrics and snarling guitar riffs drive the song forward, allowing  the songs themes to resonate to the surface. The song expresses contempt for all of the oppressive social and cultural powers that have a hypnotic effect over our lives. The mass media, government, propaganda and religion are all familiar enemies here as the song shouts a warning not to be ‘hypnotized’ and to save your mind from corruption.

You thought rock and roll was just noise!?

Perius producer, Andrew Cardy who Directed the video, identified the songs themes and worked closely with the band to bring them to life.  For Andrew, the song’s energy and gradual build conjured up imagery of a high speed car chase. He was interested in the concept of packing a huge amount of energy and movement into a confined space and watching the action bubble and boil over. These visual concepts formed the foundation for the video and married well with the songs themes of combating a psychological opponent.

Perius producer, Andrew Cardy who Directed the video, identified the songs themes and worked closely with the band to bring them to life.

The surreal devil character was chosen to embodies the songs themes, representing the evil institutions that threaten our free minds. He controls and band’s actions as they race along a moonlit road. The band slowly regain control and eventually overthrow their unwanted 5th passenger. This highly visual action lent itself to the director’s intentions of trapping a confrontation  in a small space, which is why the majority of the video is set inside the car with the band and their struggle.

Almost the entire video was shot in front of a green screen, which lead to the its heavy stylization and intense look. After much dedication and creativity, the video is now complete. The band will use this video to promote the forthcoming European tour and will be distributed online.

Happy Easter Hols Everyone!

For many of us, Easter is about cracking open chocolate eggs, spending time with family, or just enjoying some well-earned time off.  To make room for this weekend, we have been working round the clock to improve the quality of our online web services, and to benefit existing and future customers alike.

We are chuffed to bits to report that our online website service is completely independant of any third party, guaranteed.*

Not only are we able to create a polished, industry competing design for you, but we also have our own hosting servers, domain registration and domain transfer service truly defining a complete in-house service.

Choosing Perius means that you no longer have to remember the login details for difficult to navigate domain websites, or deal with hard-to-reach corporate hosting companies.  Dealing with your studio directly can be a huge load off your mind and a real time saver. It also ensures that we can assist you with all areas of your website… and  like many existing clients already, you may get to know us quite well.

1. The Perius Hosting service

When you have a website designed and developed with Perius, we will offer to host the server for you in our off-site external servers. You will have the option to personally manage your website through either Perius.co.uk, or your website domain with our simple to use control panel. We have strived to make our billing process as simple as possible with automatic or manual billing that is managed online. You may also find that our prices are very reasonable.

2. Register or transfer your website domain with Perius.

In addition to this, you can register or transfer a domain directly with us, and your domain with be directly attached to your account where you can manage it alongside your website, and yes you will be the owner of your domain name.

*At the time of writing, the guaranteed pledge is  for websites that end with .com, .net, .org, .co.uk and that can be installed on linux servers only. If you have any other requirements, don’t panic – we can still accommodate so give us a shout if there is any confusion.

A few other updates …

As Perius are enjoying some steady growth and as our individual time gets less we have decided to take onboard a new ‘Periuseer’, Glen, who will be working on Online Marketing for our clients.

Glen has already been working on some of our latest projects, most notably Total Producer, which is an online community website for Creative Production.

Our upcoming Music Video production to build the online vibe of a cool, upcoming band is currently in post-production. Expect some shots soon!

Oh and last but not least, Perius.co.uk will be releasing fresh new content to the website soon, as well as an optimized site for mobile devices. In other words, it’s going to look cool on an iPhone.

Happy Easter everyone, you can never have too many chocolate eggs!

-Steve,

Founder

It’s been a long time coming but we are finally happy that it is here.

We are looking forward to Perius’ future and and the projects it brings.
