Watch out for the creek!
Peter, Jeremy and I shot another video for I AM EMPIRE. This one took us to a cool house in Brookdale. We shot in front of the house, in a creek. Here is a quick shot of the lead singer getting his close up.

Grips: Joseph Castillo, Jon Ugto
Marco Polo
Image 7 Productions shot yet another music video for The Relay Co. This one is called Marco Polo. On Saturday we went to Downtown San Francisco to shoot the storyline portion of the video. Sunday, we set up the performance portion in the parking lot of Peter's work. This video was pretty fun, and it's going to look fresh. B.O.L.O for the video.

Sorry that I haven't been posting very often (not like anyone reads my blog anyway). With this wedding around the corner, I haven't had very much time to myself. After the wedding though, I will be shooting more images and shooting more videos to share. For now, here is a video that my friend, Jeremy Castillo, helped shoot. It was during the SubZero festival in Downtown San Jose. The local DJ crew, The Bangerz, were performing with some cool traditional Japanese drummers. Check it out for yourself.
Spaceships!
Someone on SJF posted this video. I forgot I was in it. Well done to all the participants in the video. Looks great!

Aww Yeah!
There was this one time...in band camp...hahah. Seriously though, there was this one time, I had a pretty good DJ set up. 2 Technic M3D's, Vestax 05ProII and Serato. Sounds pretty standard, but I was used to it. The fader was just how I preferred, I always made sure my TT's were running at the same speed, and my Serato was filled with the best music (at least to me). Then I had to sell them. Times were rough and I needed the cash flow, but I know they went to a good home. Sometimes, when I think about it, I get sad because I let go of something I enjoyed, and was good at. It wasn't the best move in the world, but I did it anyway, I regret it all the time, but you can't cry over spilt milk, you feel me?
Anyway, all of that was preface to this. DJ Jsquared and The Brain called me saying they wanted to have a DJ session. Since I haven't touched a set in so long, I agreed. Here is just a little bit of the madness. As you can tell, really haven't touched a DJ set in a long time, I'm really rusty.
Also, JP is putting together a photo project and he asked me to submit a photo for it. The details are on his blog, and here is my submission.

R.I.P Dilla
DJ ReSpin hit me with a few videos that i'd like to share. If you don't know who J-Dilla is, educated yourselves. This is a documentary on one of the most influential producers in Hip Hop who will forever be remembered.

J-Rocc
Big fan of J-Rocc! This is one of my favorite pieces from this member of the Beat Junkies. He is basically demonstrating trick mixing, and it always gets me hyped on music.
Basics huh?

"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas"
This weekend proved to be eventful as well as inspirational. Got a chance to work on a music video with some friends. My good friend Peter called me asking if I wanted to help out, and of course I said yes. I'll jump on any opportunity to get back on set and work on projects.
Not sure what I can say about this project, but here are a couple snaps

Being on set again, made me realize how much I miss it. Also how much I love making art. Making Major Moves in 2010, so look out for me.

Today I did more Christmas shopping and I'm about 85% done. After a few hours of dodging people at the mall, I had dinner at Blue Mango.

Bill Withers on CSI: New York
Well not exactly, but his track "Ain't No Sunshine" was. If you caught the most recent episode you will know what I am talking about. Kudos to whoever decided to use this song at that very moment in the story. I've heard this song many times over in my lifetime, but never found an appreciation for it until now, so thanks CSI: New York! The original is awesome, I love the strings and tempo. I searched for other versions on Youtube, and I found a live version. It is currently the hottest track for me. Listen/See it here...
Judging by the sweat on Bill's face, this is when music was music...or it was the copious amount of hallucinogens he was messing with. Also, peep the grin on the drummers face. This looked like a dope band to play with.

Busy Busy!
This weekend was a pretty busy for me. As JP says, I was Doing.Damage.Daily.
Saturday, XiAN and I went to Stanford to shoot fan photos for the big Standford/Cal game. That was pretty fun. I have never been to a college football event before, so the magnitude of excitement by the fans was amazing. Every single fan was displaying copius amounts of school pride. Even Stanford alumni, Tiger Woods, was there to do the coin toss. That was a PLUS, for sure, to see him. My favorite part of the game was when both teams bands came out to salute the flag while a trumpet player was performing the Star Spangled Banner, and two fighter jets flew over the stadium. Phew!!!

Then Sunday, XiAN and I went to work on a music video for our friend, Rey Resurreccion. I have some behind the scenes clips with my HD Flip, and I'll post them later. But here is his office where we got to chill for a bit.
It's not much of a picture, I know, but his office is really dope. Watch out for Rey Resurreccion folks. Fair warning! haha
UPDATE: a couple clips from day 1
After the shoot we also went over to San Jose's Fahrenheit. Our folks from So Timeless were shooting a music video as well. Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures, but I am working on a small clip of what we did on sunday. Stay tuned.
And because I enjoy an iPhone App or two, here is a picture I took using ColorSplash. Get it, if you don't have it!
