We're currently in production on the Pilot episode of Antwone Adams. With this recent snowfall we've been shooting the exterior Winter scenes for the series. Honestly the Old Abbotteam and the show can't wait for Spring to get sprung!
Can Do Canines has asked myself and Mark Falstad to help them shoot and produce a few short documentary style vignettes for their Annual Luncheon this May. The goal is not only to show how much of a positive effect the assistance dogs can have not only with their owner, but also their Family, their trainers, those who donate, and just about anyone who comes in contact with these amazing animals.
Production has also began on another documentary. The Combo Breaker Tournament being put on by Games N Go Championships this April. The story will focus on fighting games and the players who play them for respect and often money. Win, loose, or draw games often end with the phrase good game and handshake between the two competitors. Then, two others take their place until a champion can be declared. More updates and projects in the pipeline as always. Same URL, some other time, stay tuned.
A look into the vault at some previous work. Thank you's and I owe you's go out to all the skilled folks who pitched in on makin' the magic happen. Special thanks goes out to Dirtystones Entertainment, General Electric, Fresh Money ENT, Media Storm, Red Bull, Standby Productions, University of Minnesota, and Taylor Trygstad for the amazing composition.
"Ideas, skills, and experience. Yes, and something more."
Antwone Adams takes center stage, as myself and rest of the Old Abbot team ready for the mayhem and hopefully laughs. Same URL, some other time, stay tuned.
The new music video from Kay has dropped! So, put some sauce on it, and check out Put Some Sauce On It!
Filmed back in November 2009 by Director and Editor Justin Staggs, Producers Gr Robl'e and Ciise Cabdi Caliwada Mici, Director of Photography TJ Schwingle, Makeup Artist Melissa Martin, and Grips Alex Bowes, Clayton Ebeling, Andrew Melby, Ben Thompson, and myself. I also filmed the behind the scenes Documentary. A job I was hired on for at the load-in and pre-light the night before the shoot by Kay and the folks at his record company Fresh Money ENT with my Sony HVR-Z5U I had just gotten a little more than a week before. Often for me, the best lessons are the trials by fire. So here it is. The Livin' Life Like a Video: The Making of Put Some Sauce On It trilogy.
Special Thanks to Taylor Sound for the studios, rapper Kay Hussein, and Nai-ma Dage for snapping some great pictures.
New year, new projects. Antwone Adams has been in the noggin' for some time, even before the puppet mayhem of The Defenestrator. After a slow simmer, casting, rewrites, he's ready for the limelight. Same URL, some other time, stay tuned.
The video was filmed back in October. I was the productions' Director, Editor, Producer, and Cinematographer for the fire scene. However, without the support and skill of Cinematographers Daniel Steinberg and Joseph Young, Executive Producers Jewelious Jones and Phillip Porter, Producer Richard Oxley, Grips Thomas Hoekstra, Patrick Willson, and Josh Beiker, the Makeup and Wardrobe of Mari Barrow, Fight Choreography by Jeremy Clark and Alex Vazquez, the Demolition Skills of Rumone Barrow, Ben Dorry, Jon Krivo, Chris Lewis, and Taylor Trygstad, along with appearances by Molena Favors, Jesse Juen, and Tye. The magical mayhem just wouldn't have been possible. Thanks a million to everyone.
Special Thanks goes out to Dirtystones Entertainment, Highway 101 Auto Salvage, Minnesota Top Team, Saba Entertainment, and Media Storm. Lastly, here's a little look behind the scenes of the madness from the shoot as Daniel-Son has his own bonus round with a sedan Street Fighter II style!
