Estaban Tomas "theMoment" feat. Rosa Amor (Music Video)

And now to my most recent project, dropped just this past Independence Day (July 4 2012), the music video for Estaban Tomas's "theMoment" featuring his lovely wife, Rosa Amor, on the hook. I'm all for supporting family especially if it's dope and inspirational. That's what I get from these two. They're a dynamic duo in their own right and are definitely set on making waves. Trust, there will be more collabs between us. If I were still DMV local, I would already have filmed their individual EPK's. I also want to get both of them one some of my beats. I need the exposure... LOL. But for now, the cinematic and heartfelt, iTunes-available single and hopefully with some good push from new fans and a plethora of good-music-loving blogs and Web-sites, I present to you...

J.Nolan "Sharpen the Sword" (Music Video)

Ok, so here's the music video that I directed, shot and edited for ATL via Connecticut MC, J.Nolan (http://jnolaniscool.bandcamp.com). Filmed in various parts of the 5 Points section of East Atlanta, home to WRFG 89.3 (local NPR-affiliate station and home to the Beats N Lyrics show with JayForce and The Show with Ms. Dia) and a popular hotspot for budding artists/musicians and fellow music-lovers. I had a lot of fun shooting this video and editing it, all in support of this young artist and sharing his music to the masses.

Check out J.Nolan's "Sharpen the Sword" music video:

You can download the Chaos Theory LP that "Sharpen the Sword" is featured on by visiting his Bandcamp. Mind you, the LP dropped in 2011 so he's got more recent stuff. I'm hoping to hook up with him again on another vid real soon. Dude is talented...

Ok, I'm back...

Yeah, it's been a long time... again. I have seriously overlooked and undervalued the use of this blog as an outlet for all of the creative stuff I partake in on a regular basis. Aside from my usual Twitter and Facebook rants and some random Google+ appearances, I need to focus more on sharing basically. I usually do it all on the aforementioned but that doesn't really get me anywhere. It's a regular struggle isn't it; just like keeping your attention focused on beats and working on new songs when you've got other pressing responsibilities. But some people manage to do it and do it well so I just need to figure out how to work it myself.

So, how about updating this blog with my newest contribution, not only to the DC music video scene but also to my portfolio as a videographer and director. Last video I believe that I posted on this blog that I actually had something to do with was for Ryan Lucas. I may have posted J. Nolan's video but you know what, I don't think I ever did. I think I MENTIONED it but didn't post it. We recorded the footage for J.Nolan's video in the summer of 2011 but I didn't release the video until early 2012. Yeah, I need to get better at dragging my feet on dope stuff, cuz it was a dope song and a dope video. For Estaban Tomas, I stepped up my creative game.

So, what I'm gonna do is keep it chronological... you know about the Ryan Lucas vid from earlier. That's my Subwoofer Science fam (http://subwooferscience.bandcamp.com). Not sure of the status of the group since we basically disbanded when I moved back to ATL. It hurt for a little while but I guess it was necessary; we grow from pain... but I also went up to DC to be part of Ryan's video shoot for "Get Away" (featuring me on the hook) so all is not lost. All of us are soul brothers and we got each other's back which is most important. We all supported on each others projects; Boom's Bullets Over Romance EP, Ryan's album and vid and when I eventually do something, I hope they'll support me as well. I got some things in the works but typical me, I'm taking forever to finish it. When it's done, it's done I guess... not like anyone's really sweating it, so neither am I, LOL.

So to bring things current, I'll post the J.Nolan vid for "Sharpen the Sword" followed by Estaban Tomas's "theMoment" where I feel like I completely outdid myself; not that I don't have much room for improvement cuz I do. I'm just saying, the joint's bomb. I was inspired. If I could do that more often, I'd be... well, the bomb, LOL. So, as my Gra'ma says: "Anywho..." stay up.

Oh yeah, keep Incite Media Works (http://www.incitemediaworks.com) in mind. Incite Media Works is my media company that I'm partnering with my wife in. Will fill y'all in the details about that later on. For now, just follow the URL.
