Project: Music video of the Wadada song “Peace Love & Harmony”, commissioned by music producer, Nassir Nassir (Clive Phillips) of Black Sages & Mighty Sparrow.

This video contained many visual effects, including the iconic images of dancing silhouettes.  Similar visuals were later used on the famous Apple iPod Commercials, which were created about 9 years after this video was created.

The video was shot on 16mm film, transferred to video, edited and output on an Avid Media Composer. It took over 12 hours to render on a high-end Mac tower (now this would render in 10-20 mins on a laptop).

Role: Producer, director and creative director for music video.

Project: Video kiosk with a video loop of street artists at work. The kiosk runs on an iPad mounted in a secure stand. It was set-up in the entry to the Maximillian Gallery at The Sunset Marquis Hotel. The video acts as both an attraction to the gallery and an after-hours promotion.

There was no available video of the artists working, so a video was created out a series of stills and given an energetic rhythm. It features over a artists creating a Gibson Guitar Town guitar. This guitar is one of many that have been featured on the Sunset Strip.  The kiosk was launched in time for a new exhibition and remained in the gallery until it closed at the end of 2012.

Role: Strategic Advisor, Video Editor, Kiosk integration, music composition (for the web version of the video).
