Chicken Dinner Date

Chicken Dinner Date is a short, romantic, comedy about a guy trying to impress a girl by making her dinner. The film is based on a screenplay written by Writer/Producer Benn Flore. I finished editing the project days ago but the soundtrack took awhile.

I never appreciated how much influence a soundtrack has on a movie. Different sounds help convey the emotion of the story, other sounds set the pace. I've been on a few movie sets and more video sets than I can count, but I've never seen all the components that go into making a movie until now. This project gave me a whole new appreciation of the craft.

Below is the movie trailer, check it out, leave a comment and if you like it tell a friend.

Trap Music

There's a new type of music that's gaining popularity by the minute. It's called "Trap Music." The style is similar to dance except it has more bass and usually a catchy vocal loop.

"Dance Trap" is different than Southern Trap music which is a genre of Hip-Hop which describes drug dealing in a risky environment. The sound of the music is a mix of southern beats and Crunk. That style was championed by artist like T.I., Gucci Mane, Young Jeezy, Project Pat and numerous others.

The new trap music is something completely different. This music is melodic, fast paced and designed to make people move. Some people say it sounds like Dubstep or House...but it doesn't. Trap has it's own unique blend of sounds and instruments. I've been listening different Trap producers over the last few weeks and found most use some type of catchphrase that's repeated.

Baauer is currently one of my favorite Trap producers because all his songs have bass lines I can rhyme too. His song "Harlem Shake" which is a tribute to the early 2000 dance is getting global exposure. People from all walks of life are recording themselves and friends making short videos to the song. 

Below I posted a few Trap songs to get you familiar with the style. After that are videos of people buggin out to the "Harlem Shake."
