Award Winning Composer 
Alex Wilkinson at Sac VIPs
Tonight at 7pm
 
If you are a Producer, Director or music composer of any level, Alex Wilkinson will have some insights to share with you. 

Wilkinson is the featured speaker at tonight Sacramento Video Industry Professionals meeting at  7pm in the Coloma Community Center auditorium, 4623 T Street.

The session tonight will help you decide how to add music cues to a scene or music to your television show. This may even help you understand what you are really looking for from a music editor or music composer.
 
Alex Wilkinson has composed music or been the music editor for many films over the years. Alex will share some of his expertise on how one may work with or become a composer for film and television. Alex will then give you a glance at how to create a filmscore creatively.
 
Sometimes a composer may think what he or she has composed is brilliant, and it may very well be, but maybe the director had something way different in mind and it takes a strength and confidence as well as an open mind to meet the music needs of a film. Alex will share with you some tips on how to deal with rejection in the film music biz.
 
Alex will show us a clip of the same film, one with music and one without so people can see how the mood and quality is affected.  Join us to learn about this important part of the post-production process.

After initial testing of the vehicle and its equipment in mid-May, the new 28-foot Isuzu NRR cab-over-engine vehicle went back to southern California for some final engineering and construction but is scheduled for delivery tomorrow.

The final installation of a new graphics machine by Compix will be the final step.  Access Sacramento Director of Production and Training Roniecia Harris determined it would be best for all of Access Sacramento's members to remain with a Compix device since they arleady know how to operated the current Compix standard-definition graphics machine.

The first event for the truck upon its arrival back in Sacramento is likely to be coverage of the annual Skip's Stairway to Stardom concert for beginning bands.

This year, the concert will be help outdoors at the Quarry Amphitheater in Rocklin on July 31.

"Afternoon Delight" Film Wraps Production for 17th "A Place Called Sacramento" Film Festival

They may say it take a village to raise a child, but it takes an army and a bank to make a film....

Of the 10 winning scripts for this year's "A Place Called Sacramento" Film Festival, the Danna Wilberg directed production "Afternoon Delight" is the first to announce it is done with the production phase; all of the audio & video has been captured and now it's on to the editing.

NOTE:  This film has a decidedly "French" influence and both Director Danna Willberg and Producer Laura Chick, and Access Sacramento, express sympathy and support for the people of Nice and France after a large truck plowed through a Bastille Day crowd July 14.

Here's a sample of the stats for this film from Producer Laura Chick's wrap up e-mail to the cast and crew:

"Afternoon Delight" Director of Photography & Emmy-award winning KVIE producer Tim Walton
"On behalf of Danna Wilberg, Executive Producer and Director, our outstanding Director of Photography & Editor, a 3 time Emmy Award winner, Tim Walton, and myself, we humbly and gratefully acknowledge each and every one of you for your contributions, time, dedication and commitment to this Film. Thank you, thank you for helping bring Danna's vision to life.

It is said that film making is the only artform that takes an army to produce. To that end:

Stats:   7 Shoot days, 1 Pick up day, 5 locations, 1 meet and greet, 8 rolls of gaffe tape, 250 feet of stingers, 8 power strips per shoot, 30 batteries, 10 rolls of paper towels, 12 rolls of toilet papers, 2 rolls of cinefoil, 1 roll of blackout, 6 portable tables, 2 equipment carts, 1 dolly, 6 C-Stands, 10 sandbags, 6 colored gels, 8 lav mics, 4 boom mics, 16 different sets of lights, 2 reflectors, 1 humongous silk diffuser, 1 Blackmagic camera, $25,000 worth of Leica Lenses, a ton of props and outrageous wardrobe, 15 meals, 270 miles of combined travel, 9 portable chairs, 8 coolers, 4' and 8' ladders,  50 C-47's, 20 steel clamps, with;

Downtown Sacramento jib crane provided by Bret Allen
17 speaking parts, 13 extras, 1 handsome French Consul, 16 below the line crew, 6 different audio people, 1 professional jib and jib master, 1 aerial photographer, 1 amazing SFX ninja, 3 Make-up/Hair people, 1 outstanding 1st Assistant Camera, 6 hunky grips, 4 amazing craft services ladies, 8 vendor contributions, 6 stellar script supervisors/continuity, the incomparable assistance from Access Sacramento, Gary, Liz, RO and Carlos, and 1 very, very, amazing cake.  Not to mention, one very tired Director, DP and Producer!
It's a Wrap!

We spent a total of 98 hours in production, 18 hours of pre-production and 2 months of post production with including 1 million telephone calls.

In the end, we gained new friends, learned more about our craft and hopefully made memories to last a lifetime."
