life: YOUNG SCOOZLE BIRTHDAY BBQ (september 19th, 2009)

SUPER SORRY for the delay in posting. i had a horrible spill last week while watching a video of a cute baby and a kitten. it’s a bad combination if you have ovaries – it basically caused me to lose all my senses and wave my hands uncontrollably, which led to a beverage being knocked down onto my keypad. luckily for me, i back that ass up with an external hard drive and didn’t lose anything. also, i needed a new computer.

today, i have 2 brand new computers (desktop and laptop for traveling dates) – thanks to SHANE E. at the SOHO APPLE STORE. i love them both equally and passionately!!!

here are some photos from YOUNG SCOOZLE’S BIRTHDAY BBQ at CHARLIES PLACE in the WEST VILLAGE…

throwback: COMMON – “Testify” (dir. ANTHONY MANDLER)

as i started out as a young director, i was also writing treatments (treatments are the video concepts) for other directors. when i was signed to BOX FRESH PICTURES, i had the chance to study alongside ANTHONY MANDLER…he’s a genius visionary. i learned a lot from just being next to him on set as he directed. not to mention, he’s killing the game right now.

when i was asked to write the concept for COMMON’S “TESTIFY”, i was smitten. i mean, the song is ill. i immediately went to work and was so excited to be apart of a collaborative effort.

you can see in the beginning of the video, the reporter asks…”VIOLETTE, how do you feel about the charges”.

funny: MY CRAZY SISTER

for all of you who grew up with siblings, you can relate to this video. i love that this kid acted out his mom and sister…and shot the video brillantly! his cute Aussie accent also adds points for adorability! this video was hilarious…

funny: “THE HAUNTENING” by my friends at WAVERLY FILMS

i like to share these funny videos to help some of you have a giggle. when you’re bored at work or having a tough day, i’m hoping you can forget about the negative and laugh (if even for just a moment).

have a good day at work, honey(s).

rad video: LISSY TRULLIE – “Boy Boy” (dir. CASS BIRD)

downtown new yorker, LISSY TRULLIE has been doing her thing in music for only a short time…but, she’s making major waves. this video was shot by CASS BIRD, a super rad photographer.
