The Umbrella Presents "Survival" - RR

This is a music video I produced/directed for Boss Hustlas Entertainment Rapper/CEO RR. Here's a glimpse into a typical night for RR, he takes us on a ride as he makes his rounds on the streets and hood that raised him. Despite this being familar territory for RR he still has to be on point to the imminent and immediate dangers that one faces everyday in the hood. 

Filmed on location in West Los Angeles and Malibu Hills.

"The Notorius 101" (Brisk Ice Tea Spec Commercial)

This is a Brisk Ice Tea spec commercial collaboration I Co-Directed with Carol Ras from Cootown Claymation. Now Carol and I have worked with each other in the past but this was our first time co-directing debut. You can definitely look foward to seeing more work from the two of us in the future, she's a beast and an inspiration to work with. The project was shot on green screen and took us about 8 hours to complete and there was over 400 stop-motion stills taken in total. We shot the photos on a Canon 60D (18-55mm) Telephoto Lens. Carol handled all the post work which was done on FCP using After Effects. I have to thank Nicole for providing us with a voice over while driving in rush hour traffic, that was clutch. Overall it came out dope, would be even doper if we win that $10k but either way it was a great look.
