The release video for Majesterium's website - the site went live on Friday February 19th at 6pm GMT, kicking off with my one-minute website release announcement video, which can be seen below:
The motion graphics video was made entirely of digital imagery containing almost 17 gigabytes-worth of elements; this was certainly one of the larger projects I've worked on.

Majesterium is a rock covers band based in Milton Keynes, UK, of which I am the Lead Guitarist. I designed our website using a range of software, but largely Adobe Portfolio and Dreamweaver (with the video being made in Premier Pro and After Effects). You can visit the site here: www.majesterium.co.uk.

"Majesterium is a British Rock Band formed in Milton Keynes in early 2019, who play mostly covers. The original lineup was Noah Read (guitar, bass) and Mark Davey-Spence (vocals), with a separate pianist and drummer. The pianist departed later that year, and Aleyna Kochan (vocals) joined them in early 2020." - Majesterium.co.uk
About Page Masthead/Cover © Majesterium + Readcreative 2021
"Having recorded Bohemian Rhapsody (Lockdown Cover), Kochan departed alongside the drummer in late 2020, leaving Read and Davey-Spence. They have since had session musicians come in to record certain songs, or for some live performances, including 'cellist Nelly Read, singers Kiera Espey and Millie Webster-Kincaid, drummers Siân Mooney and Joe Evans, and occasionally Kochan. They were joined by bassist and 2nd guitarist Harli Taylor in early 2021."
The final image (above) is the masthead and cover image for the contact page, but one I am particularly pleased with. It shows both my guitar (a beautiful 60s Fender Stratocaster, in Olympic White with a Roasted Maple neck and Rosewood Fretboard) and Harli's Fender Precision Bass (although she now mostly uses her Yamaha TRBX304). It shows a number of other items, including the MacBook Pro that this was all made on, Nelly's electric ‘cello, and one of Mark’s many microphones. Perhaps the only other item of particular significance is the 1947 sixpence sitting in the middle of a selection of plectrums - the rest is fairly self-explanatory. I use the sixpence whenever I play any songs by Queen, as this is a key component of Brian May’s iconic sound; as we’d recently recorded the lockdown cover of Bohemian Rhapsody, this fit well.
