Films Crew was designed to be an entirely in-house project, where composition, recording, art, video, and the process of it all (being documented as the most important component), was to be done by the band in its budget, with mastering, transferring to press material handled by the label. Films Crew did bring in a production consultant. The project line up had all been influenced by Tool (Band)’s approach to a project, Films Crew could not replicate it, but the project could approach the process as a process being the most important aspect.
The result was a great deal of important symbolism drawing from some obscure and personal reference points, such as Jungian psychological archetypes, Greek mythology, and personal experience in reflection, interwoven through complex time signature changes, with Eastern and at times jazz voicings layered in a very intricate musical structure.
What is assumed to be the Films Crew Logo, is the logo for Films Productions and Films Crew Music, the umbrella under which the associated projects fit. Films Crew is assigned to an imprint label ‘Equal Infinity’ (to which Films Productions has kept the rights to the name) under Chappell UK, WMG.
