Believe
ZAK FENNIE, Muir Beach, CA.
After receiving very unfortunate news of the passing of his stepmother, Zak Fennie wrote this song as a dedication to her beautiful life. This song and video are dedicated to her, Nancy Aldrich Fennie.
Swoon
ZAK FENNIE, FIRST STREET NAPA CENTER
Zak released this song last Valentines day. This year, we put together a video to mark it’s first anniversary. My grandmothers dog chewed my microphone cover a few months before this and I forgot to replace it right when it happened. Lesson learned.
Connolly Ranch Field Trip
After working at my current job for 2 years, I created this video from conception to filming and editing to document our farm-to-table field trip program. The footage for this video (and a few more below) was shot on my old DSLR and a smartphone. Since then, I have drastically upgraded my equipment and improved my skills as a videographer.
The History of Connolly Ranch
Another one made for work. This was a dual-purpose video. A) To tell the History of Connolly Ranch and B) To honor the hard work and dedication of 25 years for my dear friend and co-worker, "Farmer" Thom Arcadi.
Connolly Ranch Harvest Festival
One of the 5 video's I've created at my current job. This one is a quick recap of our 2017 Harvest Festival. Filmed to post on social media and our website.
How To Brew Kombucha
As a recovering child sugarholic and caffeine addict, I have always looked for an alternative to replace my love for sweet, carbonated beverages. After tasting kombucha for the first time, I knew I needed to start making it to avoid the high cost at the supermarket.
1990 Dodge Ram 150 For Sale
After having a good run with this beast, it is sadly time for us to part. IT COULD BE YOURS* for JUST 1,000!!! (totally not joking, email me if you're really interested.) After posting the truck with some pictures on craigslist and letgo, I thought "why don't you just make a video to post there?" so I did.
*Truck has been sold and is no longer available
Higher State of Mind
DANIS D
Dan and I spent this past 4/20 grinding hard, filming our second video. Contrary to what you may envision when you think of 420, The song is about making better choices, working hard, staying true to yourself, keeping it 100, and pursuing your dreams (and helping your friends pursue theirs) without letting anything get in your way. So we thought it would be the perfect day to get some work done!
A big thank you to the Archer hotel for letting us use your rooftop to film one of the scenes. Hope that’s OK with you! The hostess said it was cool! We knew you appreciated good music after seeing your Instagram post mentioning Jay-z’s “Empire State of Mind” on March 21st (which we noticed a few days after filming). So we present to you, Higher State of Mind!
HIP HOP
DANIS D
Danis D is an up and coming hip hop artist paving his own lane in Napa, CA. Danis and I met through a friend at a local bar but never really hit it off. One day we ran into each other at one of his old jobs and we started talking about “How’s life?” He had been focusing on his music, and I had been focusing on my videos. We instantly looked at each other with that “LIGHTBULB IDEA” face and knew we had to collaborate. He needed someone to make videos to expand his music and I needed a musician to pursue my passion for music video creation. A few weeks down the road, our first video of many -HIP HOP- was born. Enjoy!
Doing My Thang
OKE JUNIOR, NAPA HIGH SCHOOL
It’s been done for a few months but I’m finally getting around to posting this new music video for Oke Junior’s “Doing My Thang”. This video was shot during the Napa High Big Game rally ‘18 where Oke performed a few songs. This is one of the most fun videos to have shot since it was a live performance and the energy and vibes were LOUD. This video doesn’t have many cuts, its raw, unedited, single take, non-stabilized video shot with ONLY my camera. Sure it may have looked cleaner and “butterier” with a stabilizer but I used what I had and when I got there I only expected to shoot photos so I didn’t bring mine. For me, these single take videos are my favorite to make because they challenge you the most creatively. You learn to think on your feet, constantly improvise, and ALWAYS have a plan B, C and even D because shit changes real quick and you need to be able to adapt in a snap. Please give this video some love but also check out the OFFICIAL video on his YouTube channel.
Sport Bike Promo
After meeting Roi through a friend in "A Love Story" (below) he asked me to follow him around the track to make a quick video -under a minute- to post on his website and social media pages. As a passionate rider for 8 years, how could I resist?!
