Fall Festival 2010 - First Baptist Church

I'm a little late posting this. Have three new music videos, and also for the past six weeks I have been editing for First Baptist Church. This is a multi-cultural congregation, and they have an impressive Media Ministry. I currently play the role of Assistant Editor and have worked on group DVDs as well as their National Broadcast, The Winning Edge. One thing that is very important to me is to use my gift to uplift others, and I think this fits perfectly.

Last month, they [First Baptist Church] held their annual Fall Festival. Since I knew this would be a joyous event, I headed out with my T2i. They had a great turnout, as I'm sure they always do. There was all sorts of food and games, and plenty of sweet (literally) prizes. I got a bag full myself! Other activities included a magic show, face painting, dunk tank and hay ride. Go to the gallery.

FBC's neighbor is Antioch MBC, and this year their events were on different days, so I was able to attend both.

Feature Film - A Fighting Chance

I had the pleasure of working with Dockyard Productions, for ESPN Films on the feature A Fighting Chance. This is a documentary style film about the MMA fighter Kyle Maynard. Kyle was born without arms and legs, but he did not let this stop him from living his life. Beyond being an award winning fighter, Kyle is also a motivational speaker and best selling author. The film gives a glimpse into Kyle's day to day life and travels with him as he prepares for his first official MMA match. The premiere is tonight on ESPN2 at 7:00pm EST.

Gospel Fest 2010 - Antioch MBC

On October 30 this year, I went out to celebrate the Annual Fall Festival at Antioch Missionary Baptist Church of Oviedo. I am also a member there. Usually when shooting for a church, there is no money involved. This means I get to have some fun too!! This was my second year going out, and I was surprised to see my friend Bobby from First Baptist of Oviedo. I met Bobby when visiting FBC and have since been doing some Editing for their services. They have a Fall Festival on the 31st every year. Go to the gallery.

American Bully Kennel Club Dog Show

This weekend, I went out to the ABKC Dog Show in Orlando, FL. They had a great turnout, and some beautiful dogs. Had a few aggressive pits that had to go as well. The categories were broken down by age, and male or female. From there they chose the best from each category, and then the best overall. Nationals are on November 13. Go to the gallery.

Limelyte - Large On The Streets

Another fire track from Limelyte!! I frequently shoot music videos for local Recording Artist Limelyte, this is another track off his mixtape. No big production here, just something quick, guerilla style to visualize the song. The entire production was shot in 1.5 hours, including travel time. All natural lighting, shot with a Canon T2i, mostly from 18mm - 40mm.

New GAP Logo

I haven't stepped foot into "the GAP" in the past 10 years. The same goes for Old Navy. Back then, I had no idea of the term "branding" and had no interest in any type of marketing. But, since I took up Graphic Design in my studies, I got to dabble in the field and even got a few clients. This all before I went full speed into Video Production. I still get the occational logo design inquiry, so I do keep my eyes open.

Now I want to shut them! This week, the 1969 born company rolled out their new logo. Sometimes you don't appreciate good, simple clean design until it's gone. Well folks, the old GAP logo is gone! This doesn't effect me much because I can't remember the last time I walked by a GAP store; the feelings are much more intense when it comes to the new imdb.com design *frown*. The new logo removes the classic blue square foundation, adds some "classy?" Helvitica font and a cute little square in the top right corner. Oh, and don't forget the awesome gradient fade -_-.

From the looks of it, even the @GapLogo is going through some emotional distress.

C-Jak Music Video - "Destroy"

About five weeks ago, local Recording Artist C-Jak contacted me about shooting a music video. He wanted something simple, yet symbolic of his city. We decided to shoot in front of the newly constructed Amway Arena.
