Living Legends Live at the Colonial Theater in Sacramento with Interviews with Murs, Aesop and Scarub
21 AugIn 2008, I had the opportunity to shoot and edit a couple of shows for Spyn Cycal, a Sacramento based Independent HipHop “video magazine.” One of the shows was the Living Legends Crew, and the other was Little Brother, both at the Colonial Theater in Sacramento.
Shooting and editing the shows really taught me some things about dealing with lighting issues, getting good sound (the Colonial Theater is notorious for having bad sound) and covering up the fact that you have bad sound. One of the Living Legends videos is below (I did three total), and doing them gave me the opportunity to shoot some other live performances (Planet Asia, KRS One, Giant Panda). The energy at the Living Legends show was bananas, and I hope that comes across in the video.
That’s a Wrap!

Over the last two weeks, we’ve wrapped up our first summer session (at Cabrini Connections). Last week, we started with a little show and tell. Club Leader Jane brought in her Canon 7D DSLR to give our young filmmakers a first look at the type of camera that a lot of independent filmmakers are using these days. The Canon 7D shoots full HD quality video at various frame rates, at a reasonable price, and can be found on many movie, music video and commercial shoots, so our young filmmakers were getting a look at the latest technology. Read the rest here.
