Challenge
Silicon Valley Rocks was sponspored and founded in 2008 by Allison Murdock, tech consultant by day and rocker by night. Entrepreneurs, Vc’s, Bloggers and engineers from all corners of the valley whip out their guitars, drums and, desire to rock out simply to show the world that music matters at the Silicon Valley Rocks charity event. Since their first event had been so successful, they wanted to make the 2009 event bigger and better, capturing the performances live and then stream it on the Web. SVR had the musicians, the music and the cause… all they needed was a production company that would donate time, talent and equipment to help spread the important message of education and music availability in schools. Jeremy Fortes of Marrow, one of the 6 bands chosen to perform, had previously worked with Beyond Pix Studios on a number of personal and professional projects. One phone call later, Beyond Pix Studios was ready to rock… until they realized that the venue couldn’t support the bandwidth necessary for a live streaming event on the Web.
