jonnyj Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 has anyone seen the evolve movie? Just wondering what people thought, I saw it last week. I liked it because I was there and it brings it all back, I don't know what I would think if I hadn't been there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Funk Dawg Posted February 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 What we have is a Concert Film... unfortunately there isn't much of examination of what was going on elsewhere durring the festival...like in a Head's Tale and Revolve, but the footage of the band performances is awesome!

guigsy Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 definately agree....the concert footage is great...very well done movie, for sure...on a personal level, i thought there were some moments that you would have been great to see on film again, namely from Grand Theft Bus' set, but then again, i certainly have no idea what they had to work with in the editing room...overall, a couple thumbs up from this cat...and jaydawg...cleary, i assume? i got your email, bro, i'll send you a disc of the high plains drifter images from there ASAP...i'll also send you a proper email about it...just didnt want you to think i forgot about it...cheers.scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Funk Dawg Posted February 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 I'm pumped to get those photos...did any one see the evolve photos Scott did?check 'em out here:http://www.jambands.ca/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=49I think the colours and shots are awesome... Being a photographer must be a great way to get close the band...The EVOLVE Film has yet to be released in Atlantic Canada, the momentum is building folks!Check the recent review:Review: E4 by Kate Holloway A new film offers highlights from an intimate Canadian jam/beats festival held every year in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. Dubbed E4, for the fourth annual Evolve Music and Awareness Festival, the film is not so much a documentary as a series of concert vignettes culled from the best moments on the main stage, a picturesque barn with a massive sunflower affixed above the stage. The folks at Evolve spared no expense on the stage footage, employing multiple camera angles and a tracked steadycam directly in front of the stage. The results are intense close-up shots of the performances as well as the blissed-out audience, captured directly from the rail. Interwoven with the performances are great shots of the festival-goers, sunning themselves, attending workshops, and wandering around the spectacular farmland venue.......read thes rest of the review here: http://www.farmhouseproductions.ca/coverage_feb23_Kate_Holloway.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guigsy Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 haha, cheers jay, very much appreciated...yeah, its definately a great way to get close to the band (provided the bands dont mind that i get that close..wouldnt wanna tread on their turf, haha), and its really just a different way to experience the music...you kinda get to "see" the music take shape in a different way....its weird, but thats mainly why i like doing it...

Jared Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 i was never there, but i got a copy of the show last week, and i'd have to say that is is a good mucis video, and the wassabi jams rocked, but considering i wasn't there and am thinking of going this year i would have really liked to see a few shots of what else was going on,, it didn't really give a good idea what the festival was like.
