“There are bad dates, disastrous dates, revolting dates.
And then there are the NOT! Dates.
The worst of the worst.
These are the profile pictures too good to be true, and weren’t.
The men you should not have had coffee with, never mind sex.
The women you should never have let into your life.”

Written and directed by Tim Devitt, ‘NOT!’, now at the second season, has been awarded at the LA Webfest, Accolades, NexTV, and more.
Here is one of the episodes I DP’d.

Lots of new exciting projects lately.. and much more coming up!
Among those, a video and photoshoot for entrepreneur, and writer Antonio Brown with his book ‘Muted. Dreams’ coming out soon.
‘Muted. Dreams’ is a Memoir about his childhood, depicting his experiences through abuse, molestation & family issues.

Antonio Brown’s website is finally ready. Check it out here! www.antonio-brown.com

The video I created will be featured on kickstarter.com to raise funds to publish the book.
The kickstarter.com page is currently being completed, and will be published in the following days.
Part of the donations will also go to ‘protect a child’, a foundation created by Antonio Brown to help children victims of abuse.
Here is the video. I hope you’ll enjoy it!

A short video showing how well the new ‘Warp Stabilizer’ in Adobe After Effects work with stabilizing shaky footage. I used it for several shots on the ‘Muted. Dreams’ video.

These are some images from the photo shoot.

I have been shooting lots of different things lately.. Fashion events, a music video, a TV show, and a few short-films.
Last July Jamison Ernest from Yellow Fever Creative and Love Universe called me and asked me to film a series of events that led to the ‘Art For Life 2011‘ event at Russel Simmons’ East Hampton Estate.

One of the guests was mentalist Lior Suchard. His outstanding performances of mind reading, thought influencing, predicting and telekinesis have earned him international acclaim as a top class supernatural entertainer and mentalist from members of the public, to the best- performing CEOs worldwide and Hollywood celebrities.

Make sure you watch the video, what he does is unbelievable!
Other guests include Gerard Butler, Ethan Hawke, Russell Simmons, and more.

Here below is a quick resume of the first night at the Red Bull arena in Harrison, New Jersey.

We spoke several times over the phone, and I immediately sensed what a great person Joe was, great values, great guy, and very much in love with Steph.

Joe and I briefly met in the Hotel lobby where he was staying. Stephanie stayed in the hotel room unaware of what Joe was planning..

The day after, Steph and Joe arrived at the Brooklyn Bridge Park, and I was there ready to film one of their most important moments of their lives.

I hope you enjoy this ‘short film’.

 

God bless them!

Thanks for reading..

Great day to see the July 4th fireworks yesterday with my friend Alessandra..
I took my Panasonic GH2 with me and filmed the fireworks from the West Side Highway and 57th Street in Manhattan right by the Hudson River. I wish I was a little further south since there were some trees partially blocking the view.
I was amazed of how many different people from various nationalities came to see the fireworks! In the end it has been a great day!

Enjoy the show.. and make sure you watch it FULL screen and HD!

Happy 4th of July!
