Brad Brooks – Live at Coast DVD production

So honored to be asked by Michael Romanowski from Coast recorders to produce the second Live at Coast feature length DVD featuring Brad Brooks and his talented band. Lucky I have a strong and talented team that I brought together to film this live event in the Coast recording studio in San Francisco. Michael is working on the edit and sound for the release. We also filmed some interview footage to add to the live show footage.

BlackLight backdrops

Using glow in the dark fluorescent paints I created backdrops to enhance Pongo Lounge, a burning man camp that puts on dance parties and glow in the dark ping pong! The panels reside in the a neighborhood garage party space during the rest of the year so we can enjoy them all year round! This year we plan to expand and push the envelope further. We have a mutant art sound truck that we are also in the process of working on for Burning man 2013!

Cuvee – Art Director

tree-cuvee

Cuvee was written and directed by Joe Fontana and produced by Shareef Salaam. The location was a winery in Napa. It was a challenging shoot in many ways as the story takes place in Syria. My role was to be in charge of wardrobe, make up, set and props. I had to create number plates for the cars in one of the scenes and replace some street signage. We shot on the RED and had the very capable Mike Epple as our cherished DP. The team were excellent and so much fun to work with.

Here is a fun shoot I worked on in 2011 with Don Starnes. I was the art director and had to create all the science fair displays in the background. So much fun! It was handy as I used and added my kid’s past science projects to the mix.
