Finally finished Mr Volcano’s Bass Rocs video, for the Sacramento Film and Music Festival on August 9th, and I can honestly say that I haven’t worked on anything that hard in my whole life. It was pretty labor intensive because it is graphics heavy, and I had to learn some stuff in photoshop. Took Wednesday through Friday off from the salt mines, and edited and edited and edited (and slept a couple hours a night). Did an all nighter Friday night and finished around 10am Saturday morning.
It was due at Noon about 15 minutes from the Hilton, so I had a little bit of time to get it off my computer (there is always an issue with that). Had to record to mini-dv tape which is always an issue with me– for some reason it is hit and miss. Not sure what I do right but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. Had a little scare as it wasn’t working with my older firewire cord and I couldn’t find my new one, so I had to go and buy one, as the clock was still ticking down. It is safe to say that I probably should not have been driving anywhere on no sleep. Finally got it to work and drove to drop it off with 15 minutes to spare and then slept like a baby.
I’ve got some pretty good feedback on the video. The whole experience reinforced the importance of not waiting until the last minute to do everything. Ideally, I would have liked to have about a week to incorporate some of the changes from the feedback– but, it is all a learning experience.
In the coming weeks I will be publicizing the video for the film festival, and I will post some publicity stuff for it, and the video once it premieres at the festival.
For now though, here is another freestyle from Mr V with his new group From Parts Unknown. Check out his new mask at the end (the red devil mask). Pretty ill.
