-An AV Three - Way- The Music Video, The Commercial and The Queen

Get your heads out of the gutter kids; if you want that, you know where to go. THIS three way is for some peeps I'm incredibly proud of for delivering some really diverse, exciting and most importantly, NEW work for the interwebs! First up, Chelsea Odufu:

Having Directed, Shot and Edited the music video for Hip-Hop recording artist and Newark New Jersey's own, Rugby, this video is a throwback to the simple stylings of what it is to focus on what, I think, is most important for an artist, which is the artist and their voice! Shout out to Filmmaker, Director, Visual Storyteller, Chelsea Odufu, well done; keep 'em comin!

Directed by J. Matthew Jacob and edited by Neil Gust. THIS culinarily delectible, sinfully sweet, and righteously rich commerical for the Tory Marsh Raw Chocolate Collection makes me want chocolate; not now, but RIGHT NOW!!! A special shout out to Mia Van De Water, featured in All Gifted: The Meet & Greet, taking a lighter role, featured in these sexy chocolate scenes! Well shot and, as usual, sickly edited; a Neil Gust special, as per usual.

Lastly, but not leastly, the throwback chick either you knew, are related to, or survived adventures with, the Hussy, Queen Hussy to you that is. If you haven't seen it before HERE IS YOUR CHANCE. Directed by Double 7 Images' Pete Chatmon, Created and Starring Hannelore Williams and Produced by Nicole Sylvester, with additional editing and graphics by Giga Shane, it truly is a webseries throwback, that is new to you!

Chronicles of Creativity: The Liar, The Animation, The Romantic and The Heavy

So this post comes to you chock full in the wee hours of the evening!

Recently, a good friend and creative colleague of mine Jerome Bourgeois shared some news that enforces my belief in Karma. We and many others had some very ill fated dealings with this dishonest brother. CLICK HERE and feel free to contact the Stamford, Connecticut police if you have been swindled by Mr. Andre Vann. A word to the wise; nothing comes quick, easy, or cheap-EVER! 

 

As for true artistry and creativity, here is an incredible animation that speaks for ITSELF! Click on the image BELOW!

 

From animation to a romantic-comedy featuring long time friend and creeative colleague, from Rapper, Actor, Writer and Director, Mauricio Alexander; check out the trailer for "DEPARTURE" and be sure to attend the special screening THIS FRIDAY. I've seen it and it is funny, heartfelt, awkward and honest. DON'T MISS IT!

Friday, November 11th 7:30pm-10:00pm

And Finally, blessings and well wishes to the late Heavy D. A Hip-Hop Icon of the 90s, the self-proclaimed "overweight lova", the actor, music producer, artist; died this week from what seems to be reported as of late, symptoms relating to an Pneumonia. A sad way to go for a well accomplished individual. But he left us with something we can all stand by. On his last tweet, on Twitter, he tweeted: "Be Inspired". Remember that. Signing off.

Cereal Wasn't This Cool When I Was a Kid!!

A recent ad for the New Weetabix Chocolate Spoonsize cereal recently came my way and I've been looking at it repeatedly all day since it was sent to me. Though many cereal ads rely on overly animated cartoon characters, or over earnest parents touting how healthy the cereal is or even tricking kids into eating it, this ad takes an almost, "extreme" approach to the cereal market. Check out the ad below, then click on the behind-the-scenes as to how they brought this commercial together.
