MIKE PATTON SCORES FIRST FEATURE FILM, CRANK 2: HIGH VOLTAGE[views:3793][posts:14]__________________________________ [Feb 24,2009 8:12am - succubus ""] LOS ANGELES, Feb. 24 -- Mike Patton (Fantômas, Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Peeping Tom and the forthcoming Mondo Cane amongst others) has just completed his first major motion film score for the film “Crank 2: High Voltage” (Apr. 17 release). While Patton has often dabbled in film whether it was lending his voice to the creatures in “I Am Legend”, his score for the indie film noir short “A Perfect Place” or Fantômas’ film scoring interpretation via The Director’s Cut, this marks his first proper film score. Created during the latter half of 2008, Patton holed up in a Los Angeles studio and eliminated all other projects during the recording, a point worth noting as he is well known for being one of modern music’s most prolific artists. Patton has also provided vocals to several videogames including “Bionic Commando,” “Portal,” “Left 4 Dead,” and “The Darkness.” He also lent his voice to Adult Swim’s Metalocalypse (character name: Rikki Kix). Patton just wrapped up a trek across Australia with Fantômas as part of the Big Day Out festival. His upcoming schedule includes a performance with labelmates Zu (Mar. 19 @ Great American Music Hall in San Francisco), the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on Apr. 17 with Rahzel (ex-Roots beatboxer) and the highly anticipated reunion tour with Faith No More in Europe this summer. |

| ____________________________________ [Sep 24,2010 12:27am - nekronaut ""] yeah red developed the epic and the scarlet, it's pretty insane how great the epic looks |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 24,2010 12:51am - the_reverend ""] it is more like military gear and less like a camera. one thing well two things i dont like about red is that you can never tell what is available cause they announce cameras years before they are available and if you rent them, they usually com with a technician, a camera op and computers. |
