I had the opportunity to work crew on a special promotional music video for the Sac Music Seen portion of the film festival. The video was for the Bennys. The Bennys are to appear on KXTV 10′s morning show Sac & Co. on Thursday August 7th (at 8:30am) to promote the festival. Watch it if you get a chance.
Here. I worked on a number of projects that are in the festival this year, and I will post on them in the next couple of weeks. Looking forward to checking out a lot of cool stuff.
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.

Still in the lab- editing Mr V’s, Bass Rocs, music video! The due date is Friday. And it don’t stop. Getting a little delirious. Here’s a link to one of his freestyles.

The cat in the background is El Carnicero (the butcher). He makes an appearance in the video too.
