Joe Blacula Presets - Eno Redrum - Grinding So Hard


 This is my introduction to the music video arena. Be afraid....Be VERY afraid!!




I started out in music production, I transitioned into internet radio, then television, the Visual Communication and now video? 

I shot, directed, and edited the video by my damn self. Oh yeah, ANNND I also produced the song. 

I needed to do a video for my Mini Cam & Editing class at Kennedy King College, so I decided to do a video on a song that I made for my friend Eno Redrum. I'm sure he realizes now that the process of doing videos is a very tedious process. If you plotted, shot, and edited your video in one damn day, I can almost guarantee you that it's mediocre to garbage. But then again, what I consider garbage, is what a lot of people consider gold.

 I debuted this video for my class on Tuesday December 10th, and most of the class didn't even believe that this was my first time  doing it. I can understand why because most music videos that I see look REALLY bad! And I dont mean bad as far as how its shot, but because of the content and lack of creativity. I spent damn near 500 hours editing this video together, and im proud to say that cats that I respect can actually SEE that I spent damn near 500 hours.

Shout out to all of my video production peers who have paved the way in front of me. 

I plan on getting great at this process. I'm looking forward to working with other artists, and charging them for my time. LOL!

Godfather Greats - Philip Tattaglia




Hands down, I am a fan of the history of Organized Crime in America. One of the stories that are the result of American Organized Crime is The Godfather. Needless to say, the Godfather trilogy are three of my favorite films of ALL time, so I decided to make a series of horizontal posters paying homage to all of the classic characters from the movies. Philip Tattaglia is one of the characters.
