Rockabilly Zombie Weekend

Over the past month we have been in Production on a new Horror film titled, Rockabilly Zombie Weekend. A rocking take on the Zombie genre, Written and Executive Produced by Tammy Bennett and Directed by Jaime Velez-Soto. I came on as part of the producing staff with my co-horts Melissa Gruver and Randy Molnar. Check out the website for killer imagery and stay tunes for more info!

PHOTOSHOOT: aXis Magazine Cover, March 2012

Ahh the month of March. At aXis we are always hitting up our favorite Irish drinking Holiday, St Patrick's Day. This month's cover got done a little last minute. We literally had cover model Amber Sym flying straight to the shoot from another shoot in Panama. Using a little luck of the Irish, we pulled off this image in the zero hour!

"As The Sun Begins To Fall"

Back to basics with our boys in Of Valleys. For this new "robot-free" music video, I wanted to get down to a much more personal level, and show the more vulnerable side of the twins. Big shout out to Croix Provence our female lead for doing a great job!

PHOTOSHOOT: Yogurt Smoothness

I have known the guys in Yogurt Smoothness for a bit, mostly through other bands. But I always dug their style and wanted to do something visually with them to bring that out... Here is what we came up with.

"Chained To The Bottom"

I have known Cragmire, the lead singer of The Bloody Jug Band since attending college at UCF. So when his musical outing decided they needed someone to make their first Music Video, I was not surprised to get the phone call. After deciding to do a throwback video to the 1930s style of moving pictures, we gathered everyone, grabbed a greenscreen and threw this together. [NOTE: Check out the tubular cameo by J LaRose (from Saw III & IV, and Repo: The Genetic Opera) as the Devil]

PHOTOSHOOT: aXis Magazine Cover, February 2012

For the month of February, we decided to do a cover themed around the biggest event in Central Florida for the month, The All-Star Game. It drew celebs and crowds from around the country. We used Gabriella Katia as the cover girl, one of the best models i've ever worked with. This was shot in Rok Room (where Gabriella bartends) and the Grey Goose 180 Lounge on top of the Amway Center. Enjoy...

PHOTOSHOOT: The Sounds

One of my favorite bands is the Swedish indie rock group, The Sounds. I had the ability to shoot them for Et Cetera Magazine, which was a pretty gnarly experience. Check out the photos below:

So JAWSome...

They officially closed the JAWS ride at Universal Studios in Orlando on the 1st of January, 2012. In honor, my buddy and Internet sensation, Adam The Woo and I went down and made a very nice tribute video. Thanks for letting me tag along in one of your zany adventures!

PHOTOSHOOT: Guns & Roses

I realized that I hadn't updated this thing in a while... my bad. Things got busy. So here are a bunch of updates to see what I've been doing for the past few months... I got do to a photoshoot of Guns & Roses (or what is left of them) performing at our new Amway Arena in Orlando. Pretty sweet digs. Buckcherry also opened, they are always great. We had to get escorted out of the security pit for GnR, due to the amount of pyrotechnics in the area. Awesome!

Boom!
