Autumn's Revenge CD Release Party

All the members of MU recently came out to support singer/songwriter Peter Chavez at his long awaited CD release party for the album, Autumn's Revenge. It was a great time for all and a great show by Peter. Though his album is a fully electric mix of moody rock songs, he aptly chose to go acoustic for the cozy but wall-to-wall packed venue at Paul's Kitchen in Monterey Park. Peter did a full set with passion and variety, including many songs that you won't find on his album and some cool covers. You can hear most of the show in Ryan's most recent podcast, a special extra long show exclusively dedicated to Peter's unveiling of Autumn's Revenge. We will be sure to keep you posted on the album's availability as well. Congratulations Peter Chavez! We hope to hear a lot more where this came from in the future!

"I Know You Live" Music Video

Short films, music videos, and everything in between have been keeping us too busy to even update our own news...

These past few weeks have been dedicated to shooting a video for I Know You Live off Peter Chavez' new album Autumn's Revenge. Production has gone very smoothly mostly because of the band's highly professional dedication and working with the beautiful and talented actress Roshelle Pattison as the lead. She was a joy to work with and added a lighthearted spirit to the set.

Just two more half-days of shooting and the video will be sent off for post-production - where Ryan will turn it into a lightbox extravaganza of complex design and asymmetry.

And on the Short End of things... Outcasts has been officially locked down for picture! This is huge since Katy and Jason have worked around the clock to get every frame color corrected and timed just right. Now we've turned it over to our composers to write a beautiful score for us to record.

Noise

First of all, Happy Birthday to Ryan! The man can now rent cars and lottery tickets... wait, rental lottery tickets? uh, whatever, you know what i mean... anyway, he's another year older and we're so glad he made it.

And now for the news:

For one, we're editing Outcasts. The footage came out great and our ideas for post-production are only making it better.

We're also meeting with local musician Peter Chavez to schedule production on his first music video. It's for a song off his new album Autumn's Revenge which is set to be released within the next few months.

And finally we're storyboarding for Noise. This is hands down our most time consuming endeavor right now, and at the top of our priority list. I know it sounds so simple, but let it be known that storyboarding is freaking hard!

I mean, crap! We have to draw out hundreds of little frames to represent each shot in the entire 90-minute film... it's like animating the whole movie (just for ourselves mind you), and then shooting it.

I don't know, even our cinematographer is wondering if we can't just wing it on set :-)
