Using some of Davinci Resolve Studio’s exceptional color correction and grading tools, MMP took some forest footage from a recent shoot and threw a few dramatic color grades on it. The result was a look that would’ve caught Peter Jackson’s eye, with a truly magical and mysterious vibe, reminiscent of J.R.R Tolkien's Lord of the Rings Universe. Look out for an upcoming MMP LUT release that shows off these colors.

MMP Location Scouting and Plane Spotting for Upcoming Shoot
The team recently took advantage of San Diego’s one-of-a-kind flight-landing zone, by scouting various locations around the San Diego Airport to use in an upcoming film shoot. The gutsy tailwinds coupled with steep points of entry over neighborhoods makes for some highly sought after plane footage.

MMP Shoots FKJ for Civilian Magazine
The entire MMP team are longstanding FKJ fans, so naturally the opportunity to do an in-house shoot of the talented multi-instrumentalist was a must.
The entire MMP team are longstanding FKJ fans, so naturally the opportunity to do an in-house shoot of the talented multi-instrumentalist was a must. Utilizing our Red Weapon camera and working in tandem with Adam Rowell resulted in a spectacular shoot that allows FKJ fans to connect with him in an intimate way. The upcoming piece by Civilian Magazine is sure to turn heads and show FKJ fans a new side of the talented musician’s aesthetic. The team looks forward to getting a chance to work with FKJ again and is excited to continue to utilize the MMP live concept to capture other incredible artists.
Featured Taylor Guitars for MMP Live Sessions
As an active sponsor, Taylor Guitars provides some of the most coveted acoustic guitars on the market for use in the MMP studio.
As an active sponsor, Taylor Guitars provides some of the most coveted acoustic guitars on the market for use in the MMP studio. After receiving some of the most notable performance acoustics, including the 522ce and 610e, the team shot a series that captured every detail of the hand-built guitars in pristine detail. Incoming artists performing in the MMP live sessions get the privilege of using Taylor’s guitars and have been known to offer money on the spot to take them home. After getting a chance to play with some of these toys and capture them on film, we are even more excited to get to continue our work with Taylor Guitars.

MMP had made a connection with Omar Zehery of the hit band Hit the Lights in the past, and was compelled by an idea to do a documentary on the “RustGaze” movement occurring in Lima Ohio. The movement has been happening in conjunction with the popularity of Zehery’s studio, Legacy Sounds, located in Lima. The movement, led by Zehery and Legacy Sound, aims to capture the soul of the musicians in the area and unite the community in order to nurture the growth of a diverse array of bands and individuals. The documentary is a look at this movement and is going to capture the struggles and successes of the studio and its occupants in its most raw form. MMP is strategically crafting this work in a way that will tell the story both honestly and excellently and looks forward to announcing an upcoming release date.
