Rorschach - Never Thought

Working on a zero budget film is never easy, but it can be done, even in 100 degree temperatures. On a very warm day, I shot this video for Rorschach. While we had a coordinate a few more times to get a few more segments shot, we finally got the final projected pieced together. Best of luck to your Rorschach on all of your future endeavors!

Working with slam poet Kavi Vu, I used a template to create a short video introduction for her. In its base stages, here is what we created. In the end, a few layers may give it the final professional look for this future professional's work (if she isn't professional already).

Rorschach - Never Thought Music Video

We have begun working on Rorschach's new music video, Never Thought. We have a no budget video, so it will be pretty simple, but it should be good and will be exciting since it will be their first. They have a lot of talent and should find a good following with this song.

UPDATE 10/23/12
The second day of filming is completed and after editing, we decided to have one more day of shooting. We're still about two weeks away, but we will get the video released soon!

I had the pleasure of shooting at the House of Blues in Anaheim's Downtown Disney on July 5, 2011 for Peter Chun's Band. They rocked the house and closed to cheering fans who appreciated their performance!

Eleen & Lucas Wu (7.3.11)

Today was the beginning for a beautiful young couple Eleen & Lucas Wu who were married on July 3, 2011 at the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts in Cerritos, CA. My videography crew and I were able to join the bridal part throughout the entire day and bonded well with the entire group through the fourteen hours that we were with them. While we were the videography crew, we did manage to snap some photographs. Photographs edited by Jason Watanabe and taken by Jason Watanabe, Melody Chern & Richard Magana (Rimag Productions).
