TERMINATRYX "Virus" (uncensored)

Winner of the Best Music Clip at the 2011 Barossa Film Festival, Australia. Official selection 2011 Salt Lake City Horror Film Festival.
Richard Stanley quote on the video (writer/director of Hardware and Dust Devil):
"Once in every generation a plague shall fall upon you! 'Virus' by Terminatryx delivers a bone crushing, gut munching, spine tingling, supersonic blow to the cerebral cortex. Metal, mayhem and no holds barred lycanthropy. What more could you ask for?"

(For optimum viewing, set the YouTube viewer at 1080p)
"Virus" the music video of Cape Town based female-fronted Industrial-Metal band TERMINATRYX. The clip also exists in an extended short film version with more special make-up FX. To be uploaded at: http://www.YouTube.com/FlamedropProductions

In July 2010 Flamedrop Productions, in co-operation with Cosmesis Advanced Prosthetic Studio, Visual Impact / Magus, Magic Hour Productions, Furry Wood Productions and Silver Bullet Lighting tackled the grueling task of shooting a combo of the short film "Marked", the Terminatryx "Virus" music video, both flowing from the (werewolf transformation) promo clip made in 2009 for the annual South African HORRORFEST Film Festival - see the original clip here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFh62j-3IpI
and a teaser of the expanded movie & music video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2pVRqC5Has

The bulk of this was shot over a single weekend with very little sleep in the middle of the Cape Town winter (with a few pick-up shots in July and October).
The movie was shot on the Canon 5D MKII camera, supplied by Visual Impact / Magus, chosen for its superior quality and user friendly handling - http://www.visuals.tv

Both TERMINATRYX "Virus" and "Marked" made their debut at the 2010 South African HORRORFEST Film Festival over Halloween season, and got the Audience Choice Award, plus Best Special Make-Up FX. It was officially selected (together with "Marked") for the 2011 Salt Lake City International Horror Film Festival, and won Best Music Clip at the 2011 Barossa Film Festival, Australia.

Killer quote on the Terminatryx "Virus" music video from Richard Stanley (writer/director of Hardware and Dust Devil): "Once in every generation a plague shall fall upon you! 'Virus' by Terminatryx delivers a bone crushing, gut munching, spine tingling, supersonic blow to the cerebral cortex. Metal, mayhem and no holds barred lycanthropy. What more could you ask for?"

Why, oh why haven't I watched this earlier? Paul, this video is absolutely amazing. Defenitely one of the best, if not THE best South African music videos I have seen to date. Awesome to the extreme.

[TERMINATRYX]

@Darcnyss Hey, thanks so much!

[TheNoobKiller]

[TERMINATRYX]

@TheNoobKiller "MARKED", the short film version of the TERMINATRYX - "Virus" music video made it's world premiere at the 2011 X FEST Film Festival, 5 August - XFEST.org

[TERMINATRYX]

While you cannot appease the many YouTube armchair Leonard Maltins, -Mozarts, -Stanley Kubricks and -Shakespeare's out there, the Seattle International Film Festival has requested our production...

I've got 10 000 words to say about this video Virus "BUT THAT WILL TAKE FOREVER" so I'll just say Damb Awesome!!!! :)

[Fuzygish]

Extremely awesome! I love this music video! And you guys are local band all the way from Cape Town? I love seeing a female vocal in a metal band, it's been my dream forever. Respect!

[ChazWolf73]

Interested to know if Richard Stanley is involved in this, or just commenting in passing? He's one of my favourite directors of all time. The 5-disc set of 'Dust Devil' is one of my most treasured DVDs.
