Outside's Steve Mottershead Wears Both Fx Artist & Director Hats

Outsides Steve Mottershead Wears Both Fx Artist Director Hats
Outside, the SOHO-based editorial, visual effects and finishing boutique's team of collaborative artists all bring a mix of talents to the table - and last summer, when they signed Inferno/Flame artist Steve Mottershead to their roster, he was no exception.

Over the years this award-winning visual effects artist had directed an impressive roster of Music Videos, adding yet another dimension his artistic perspective.

And, recently Mottershead was called upon to direct, as well as create visual effect for The Willowz, an up-and-coming group whose recent release, "Talk In Circles," was selected by Rolling Stone Magazine as one of the 50 Best Albums of 2005.

Steve Mottershead and LA-based Craig Bernard, who joined forces in 2005 to form the bi-coastal directing duo, The Beta movement, were recently called upon to create a surreal Music Video for The Willowz's track, "Walk Straight."

Mottershead & Bernard will be in good company, as the Music Video they created will be one of 21 videos on the compilation DVD, featuring the work of such high-profile directors as John Watts, Ace Norton and Michel Gondry, who selected a number of The Willowz's songs for the soundtrack of his feature film, "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind."
