That Spring Time Feelin'

Its been a while too long,

but here's a lil sumthin sumthin to satisfy...

My good friend Elena Rossman has a show coming up and asked me to help her out with a set up for a sweeeet flyer! We got together yesterday, and with some awesome evening light, converted my sunroom into a dreamworld.

Enjoy !! I hope to see all of you at the show!

You'll have to excuse me. . .

. ..for the fact that every page of my blog has videos blowin up all at once . . .

for now, as soon as you get on the page scroll down and pause them all . . . for your own benefit.

so your speakers and your brains dont get blown out. . .

other than that. . . it should be fixed soon.

Thanks &

Enjoy

We're Starting a Movement. . .

. . . Arn't we always?

Well, for reals. . . this time its a movement for

and with Local bands in the Santa Cruz area.

A collaborative process, not limited to any genre, just a passion & desire to promote community through creative development.

Just a passion & desire to work with anyone who loves music and has an idea or two. . .

So far, so good. . . this past week myself and the On The Spot Productions crew had the opportunity to work with an awesome local Reggae band,

Ancestree.

The process itself couldn't have been more amazing, I mean . . . getting in to a show, to film a band that plays music you love, not to mention the band themselves are some of the most mellow, loving, good souled people you'll ever meet. At one point in the night I even turned to a friend saying "It just hit me. . . I just seriously fell in love with filmmaking". As you all know, i've always been a lover of images, but moving images. . . moving art, its a whole different level. And one I am so amped to take on and let grow. . .

Not only are these guys awesome people, but their music is somethin else. . . I won't say much else about them, for I like to think this film speaks for itself . . . Enjoy!

ART

I have to say this video is one I am personally very proud of. When you have a vision and can contextualize it. . . really make it happen, it sort of becomes your baby. Anyone who has done this before can relate . . . and that goes for any form of self expression, any project, any art.

Although it was a short amount of time to execute, I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I guess the only element left is, reception. How will people perceive something you've worked so hard on?

Well that I guess, is where you have to let your baby go. . .

If your interested in collaborating. . . I would love to hear about it. . .

This is What We Do. . .

ART - A STUDENT RUN ORG., FUELED OFF OF PURE CREATIVE . . .

MANY MINDS AND PERSPECTIVES COMBINED. . . THIS IS WHAT WE DO. . .

This shoot was especially awesome because we got to open up our favorite home and "stage" a party. Made for a band out of L.A, Moondog Orchestra . . . . that clearly wasn't present . . . we were forced to think out of the box. . . or in the box, depending on how you look at the subject. Complementary to their lyrics, we shot a music video about a Guy and a Girl. . . not a new concept, but a fun one to construct.

& A BRIEF DISCLAIMER: (Not to make this about myself . . . but then again this is my blog)

*Do not be fooled by the misspelling of my last name in the credits. People always ask me what it is. . . like its a big secret, they wonder why I revert to Simone "V" Photography. Well, to tell you the honest truth, Its just easier. . . don't try and spell it people, just go with it!

I've come to terms with the fact no one will ever spell it right, and you should too :D

Lots of love . . .

Enjoy!
