New image of a character I designed and created in 3D. His name is Blacklight and yes he's a Transformer, he transforms into a Mercedes CL65 AMG, he's an Autobot, he loves hip hop, and he wants to be a DJ. Yes, a DJ,… Continue

This isn't your typical green screen production. A piece like this is very inspiring for the new wave of directors on the rise whose production methods and imaginations aren't limited by traditional film making techniques.



From Wired :

For Arev Manoukian, capturing the live action for his elegant short film Nuit Blanche came easy: He filmed two principal actors in four days on a green-screen soundstage in Toronto.

The hard part happened over the next eight months, as the… Continue

Check out the behind the scenes video for Lloyd Banks smash hit "BEAMER BENZ OR BENTLEY" featuring Juelz Santana. I wanted to bring back the classic 90's feel of a studio performance video, where the artists's look, the composition of the shot, the colors, and all the different elements come together in a high energy visual that makes the song bigger.

Since this was my first real "behind the scenes" video, some think that it's my directorial debut. However, my first music vid… Continue

'"GROCERY SHOPPING 2056"
17" x 11" charcoal and regular pencil no erasing

Critically panned but on its way to half a billion dollars or more, Michael Bay's Transfomers : Revenge of the Fallen has taken over your movie theatres. It's been criticized for its plot holes, for being too long, too violent, too crude, too rude, and yes, been accused of perpetu… Continue

when they write what they wrote
its like a knife to a throat
like a slice in a boat
but when you're right u still float
and when you're right they look left
and when you're down they look away
when you're correct they just nod
say you're wrong they point and say
look at him did he really cost u
couple mil here... a couple mil there?
speak what they dont know, all out of fear
fuck it ..tears in a bucket, now suck it
snakes, rats and the past, thats what u stuck with
for when things end up fair

the start is the ending when the art is pretending
horizons never ending seem so far from ascending
as far as the wind blows the restless soul flows
dark blue nights iron horses grey rainbows
aimless me never that but the fact they lack the tact
to separate stacks or bait from trap.. rape from slap
snake from rat..a 38 from a bat ... steak from fat, please explain that
never needy just desire whats deserved,
a dime with some curves and a German thing to swerve
ends for the future and that presen… Continue

I have directed a few live action music videos, including 50's "I GET MONEY" and I'm really starting to define and appreciate the differences between live action film making with real people and 3D animation with characters.

The main difference is that live film making is so… Continue

Make It Fly.

That's my new tag line for 2008. Stuff that is geeky or nerdy to you, I make it fly, and way before those Neptunes dudes ever started banging on drum machines... think animation with flavor doesn't exist? I make it fly. If online promotions aren't moving fast, yeah, I'll make it fly. Get me? I guess it's kinda like a Jay Z thing, from marketing speak to visuals, if you can add a second layer, be it a visual OR verbal double entendre, then why sh… Continue

The very last quote is something I saw my father print out 20 years ago on his path to success in the real estate business.

"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and s

So I was digging thru some folders and found these old 4 mp3s from my "production" days, when I realized... these aren't bad! I was trying to capture the true scene of being around in the late 80's, early 90's when hustling was really just something some of your friends did and some didn't. So I mashed the Jay Z vocals with New Jack swing type sounds. Let me know what you think. I heard Jay is releasing the American Gangster a capella vocals so I might… Continue
