Dumbworld: A Sacramento Based Blog on Entertainment, Media and Art

Saturday night was the Sac Music Seen program of the Sacramento Film and Music Festival, where over 20 music videos from local filmmakers, paired with local musicians were shown.  Lots of really cool videos (too many to name– and I’d say that the quality of videos was a giant step up from last year).  Starting off the night was a short documentary about the Sac Music Seen, followed by the Bennys video for We Be One (directed by Erik Espera and John Jiminez).  Fun stuff.

Also, we had a music video (Mr Volcano– Bass Rocs) that premiered at the program.  A definite learning experience.  It didn’t look up to par on the big screen.  Two words– NTSC Monitor (Or is that 5 words?).  As in, we have to use one– mine is broken.  Very dissapointing, but again- it was a learning experience.  There is always next year.  Mr Volcano and Lil V came through– which was cool. I have a little video from the event that I will try to post if I get time this week.

 The Capital Film Arts Alliance, as part of the Sacramento Film and Music Festival, put on a competition to create a movie trailer.  The entries are showing Wed, August 13 at 6:30 pm at the film festival. Go to www.sacfilm.com for more info.

Our trailer is for a film called The Muddkids about two kids that go into the forest.  One kid dies and the other must deal with the Muddkids, avengers of evil deeds.

The music for the trailer was done by composer Richard Altenbach.  Richard is an A-List Violinist who has worked on numerous Hollywood Films with composers such as John Williams, Danny Elfman and Howard Shore.  His film credits include Indiana Jones IV, Jurassic Park I, II and III, Spider Man I, II, and III, Pirates of the Caribbean I, II, and III, Matrix I, II, and III, Titanic, King Kong, and Beowulf.  Richard also has worked with pop singer Natasha Bedingfield.  Please go to http://www.bachiosaurus.com/ for more information on Richard Altenbach.
