A lot of times I’ve done work that doesn’t fall under the scope of Desedoish-ness and don’t get around to posting it. Then am reminded awhile later why it might be nice to share. Here’s the result of a trip to Jamaica in ’09. This film has been used to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Rockhouse Foundation.
The Rockhouse Hotel, meanwhile, was featured in last week’s Times article on great getaways. What I’m saying is you should get down with these folks no matter what.
Three NYC tattoo artists talk about process, inspiration, and adventures with the needle. A visit inside a popular Harlem parlor, The Black Ink Gallery, and an underground space in Queens. Originally produced for Format magazine.
Here’s a short doc piece I just did for Format magazine. What you’ll see is a brief look inside the world of the tattoo artist. Three NYC buzzers talk about process, inspiration, and adventures with the needle. We visit inside a popular Harlem parlor, The Black Ink Gallery, and an underground space in Queens.
What you won’t see is the Pit Bull Terrier owned by one of the artists who bit my leg and took away a large strip of denim. It was, probably, one of the best shots I’ve ever framed. Unfortunately, I didn’t press record in time. Here is the dog, appropriately named Perro, about a second and a half before what I affectionately refer to as the incident.
Working with consumer insights firm scenarioDNA, we produced this research project for Wal-Mart about teenagers and their relationships with brands.
We produced a suite of 20 new media documentaries about music for Sony’s Crackle.com. Here are two of our faves, above is The Exit and below is Neutral Mute.
Got tapped by Sony to produce a slate of docs about NYC rockers. The best thing about these spots is that we pick bands we like and dip into their world for a hot second. In the past few weeks, I’ve developed a whole new appreciation for the drummer. He has the unwieldy gear. He sits in the back and sweats up a storm. Yet there’s more going on there, some kind of charisma – because as a lad he convinced his parents to buy him this noise kit and like a shephard he keeps the band on track and on time.
Below is our spot with Black Gold, the drummer Than explained to us the genius of Qunicy Jones’ drum selection and can rock a leather vest with aplomb. Also keep your ears peeled for Gunnar from the The Exit and White Rabbits – cause they double your pleasure with 2 drummers.
