I’m proud to share a link to a recent project I produced for Director Doug Spangenberg of Space Monkey Studios. Back in late June, prior to heading off for a week’s worth of relaxation in sunny Jamaica, I had the opportunity to team with Doug, and Philly-based DP JR Campbell, on an EPK shoot for Universal Music artists Il Volo. I’ve worked with JR a number of times, as he’s become one of my preferred DP’s, but it was the first time working with Doug. At any rate the project went very well, and after an exhausting day of traversing the ‘big island’ that is New York City, trailing the trio of Italian youngsters on their 24-hour media blitz, we had certainly acquired a plethora of footage. Now, after having had a chance to watch the final product, i must say that it’s nice to see that the end product came together so nicely…great job Doug!
You can check out the video here, on Doug’s Vimeo page.

So it’s looking like I’ll be making the ever-popular ‘Turnpike Trek’ tomorrow, when I head up to the Big Apple bright & early for my latest field-producing assignment. Teaming for the first time with Director Doug Spangenberg, we’ll be jumping around the City capturing some EPK footage for Universal Music.
The camera, helmed by local Philly-based DP JR Campbell, will be pointed in the direction of the trio of teen sensations “Il Volo”. These Italian youngsters, on the heels of their crowd-raising appearance on “American Idol”, will be in NYC for just over a day. While there, they’ll embark on a marathon PR tour that will witness them making pit-stops at a number of national talk-shows. In between their scheduled visits, our crew will look to capture the teens taking in some of the sights and sounds synonymous with New York, with Times Square, Central Park, and Little Italy set to make our list of backdrops.
I think that my Caribbean-bound vacation plans are coming just in time, as I’m sure I’ll need my stint in Jamaica to recover from and abusive day in the ‘City that never sleeps’…or, as I’ve come to know it as, the ‘City that kicks your butt’!
