J-Spot Release in April

Originally we planned this release for January, but after many delays we have finally set a release date for the J-Spot digital single by XS Night...

It will be available for download from junodownload.com. XS Night is new to the Leo Rampant roster with a punchy and fresh French sound that has everyone here at Leo very excited. The remixes are also some of the best that we have put together and include Blame the Funkstar, Dan la Funk, and Onleed. The single compliments itself very well with smooth-funk-dance gems. We are very proud to make this our first release of 2008 and we are confident that this is one of our best singles to date.

Update

Hello everyone!

The Hayes Brothers have been busy at work shooting the second part to Question One and primary shooting has been completed. There have been a lot of man hours donated to this project and we are confident that this will be the best video yet. There are a few shots that still need to be captured but the majority is done. The next editing session is still scheduled for this weekend. There will be other editing sessions, but everyone's confident that the video will be finished by the end of the month. If so, the video will be posted online in early April.

Along with this news we have updated the Q1 video banner as well. Thanks to the fantastic shots and images we have picked the following as the new banner for the video...

Also, once Foxtrot is completed (Michael Hayes will begin animation in March 29 & 30) Cavan Line Films has decided to consolidate the four videos of the Prelude CD into a DVD compilation with bonus features and image galleries. The video compilation will also premier at movie houses around Ontario, Canada. The premiers are anticipated for June/July of this year, along with the DVD release.

Lastly, due to the shooting schedule of Q1 Michael has had to put the XS Night Onleed (Hayes & Hughes) remix on hold. Now that principal photography has been completed we should see the completion of the remix and the digital release of XS Night's J-Spot in late March.

There are also more releases slated for this year including Funked Up with "No Ditchin'" and Proviant Audio with "For What It's Worth". Two funky and danceable tracks which will be ready for the summer.

Q1 Video is Going Well... and Foxtrot is on a roll!

Michael and Steven are working diligently on the pre-production for the second part (puppets) of the Question One video. It has been a challenge due to the scope of the video, but it has been a labour of love. Last weekend pre-production moved along well, along with the past week. The puppets are nearly complete, the sets have been chosen and the storyboards are complete. This weekend is being used to build the final sets along with completing props and polishing the directors notes. Shooting is now scheduled for March 8 and editing for March 9, however some of the shooting may occur during this upcoming week. Once the editing is complete the video master will be submitted to broadcasters and posted online in late March. This will be the most ambitious video Cavan Line Films and Leo Rampant have produced. There are a lot of people helping out with this video and everyone here at Leo and Cavan are ever grateful. This video could never have progressed the way it has without the assistance we have received. Thank you!

On top of this production, The Hayes Brothers are beginning pre-production on the final video from the "Prelude" CD compilation. It is for the song "Foxtrot". This video will consist entirely of stop-motion animation and the animation is scheduled for March 28, 29 & 30.

Wish us the best. There's lots more ahead.
