Lighting Test With Justin Werner

A night of lighting tests with one of our favorite artists, Justin Werner. This was a chance for us at MMP to experiment with the use of organic nostalgic lights while using newer technology. That's right, we used Edison style bulbs with LED replacement filaments to create an elegant and classic mood.

A Union Bank Commercial Shoot

Two weeks ago, we traveled to a quaint town in Ohio to film two Union Bank commercials. Using Local talent and crew, we shot a four-location package for the two spots. It’s really amazing what you can come up with when you get back to basics..

THE NEW “MMP THE LIVE SESSIONS” PROJECT

“MMP the Live Sessions” is a weekly project that promotes local San Diego musical performance artists. We strive to capture the live aspect of each musician’s performance in its raw entirety in a true and honest way. Each session is as played without the use of audio pickups and punch ins to capture the creativity of the moment. It’s a chance to get intimate with the performers and see them in their true element. We have each artist perform one original and one cover tune session. The artist’s original tune lets the audience in on their creative endeavors whereas each cover tune performance reveals the artist own interpretation of a modern classic with a twist.

Our New project featuring Local San Diego Talented Singer songwriters.

Each session is filmed with the latest cameras and sonically recorded with the utmost care to preserve a high quality of sound in each acoustic performance.

 

The hope for these sessions is aimed at each artist gaining more community awareness of their music and creativity. Every artist involved in “MMP the Live Sessions” ends up being promoted and cross promoted by other artist on the project, thus creating a cross pollinating of Cinergy between each other. It becomes a musical co-op of San Diego musical artists.

Philip Bloom's From Chicago to the Moon

Check out this short film Philip Bloom made using a Canon 1DC and Sony F55. We love this film because it shows Bloom's ability to make landscape shots into visual abstractions. One of Bloom's techniques includes filming in 4K then downscaling to 2K. Here at Music and Motion Pictures we use this similar technique in order to change the perspective of a shot without losing image quality. We hope you enjoy this film! (This video was created by Philip Bloom)

Radio Days

Companies such as Spotify, YouTube, SoundCloud, and iTunes have drastically changed the way we listen to music. Music has become extremely ubiquitous and accessible, which is great for listeners, but is, at times, disheartening for Radio Gurus. Along with the advancement of technology, radio days have been in decline. Luckily, there are steadfast Radio Hosts/DJ's who work hard at keeping music circulating in the air.

Lynchian Monday

David Lynch collaborated with Lykke Li to make a melancholic, eerie, and seemingly endless music video. The visual narrative is poetic and nebulous, while the lyrics evoke longing and heartbreak. We love this video and hope you do too.

We Love Our Equipment

Cinematography is one of the most invaluable aspects of a film- just think of The Revenant. This Award Winning movie is filled with impressive shots that are powerful and moving. The creative minds behind The Revenant had a vision and used RED cameras to translate those visions into film. Here at Music and Motion Pictures we also value good vision and use RED cameras to turn ideas into impressive and stimulating visual imagery. We love our equipment because it helps us create magic.
