Bottle Service Music Video

I had the chance to help out on this music video shot right here in Manhattan. It was an incredibly long day and I wasn't expecting it to be, but you all know how production goes. We spent about 16 hours on set shooting scenes just at the club. Major props goes to Bijan, Moxie and Errol for pulling this off on a budget.

In this segment Caroline explores Brooklyn's beginnings in brewing the finest pint. I shot with her at Six Point Brewery, which served as a local brewery with its previous owner. Next stop we were introduced to a beer hall called 61 Local, provides a home for locally made foods and fine beers including ones from Six Point Brewery.

The Andrew Mancilla Project aired on Caught in the Act

Here is a profile on an upcoming singer/songwriter, Andrew Mancilla. This was filmed on two separate days. We used the JVC 110U in Mini DV format and the Canon Rebel T2i. The locations were a bit difficult to shoot since there was limited lighting at the studio. The location of the studio was a bit trippy. I mean it was located near where I grew up, in the Lower East Side. We walked down a flight of stairs and went through these thick metal doors and led into this pretty decent size, cavernous space. It felt really comfortable.

Show Goes On Music Video

This is a little project I did with SHIFT and BUZZ, both talented musicians. Take a look at their cover of Lupe Fiasco's "Show Goes On"

Mobile Start Ups at Mobile Behavior

I decided to make this into one post because this video series was done with Mobile Behavior, a company run by Alan Rambam over at DDB TRIBAL. For those who are not familiar with DDB, it is part of an advertising holding company. So on to the videos. These videos were done to introduce some amazing start-up companies in the mobile marketing sector and generate ideas on how these platforms can help big brands connect with their consumers. Foodspotting is a website and mobile app that allows users to post their favorite eats and locations for all to share. And if you need some unbiased style advice look no further than Fashism, a site where you can post your ensemble on the web and have the online community comment on your outfits. I know I've said a lot. Now enjoy!
