AFRO WORLD FEST 2021 • The past few weeks have been very busy as me the @afroworldfest team crafted this amazing virtual festival. Although it premiered this past weekend, you can still catch the full video on youtube, and on Rogers TV July 1st!

The Afro World Festival is a project by the Equal Chance Foundation which aims to bring together the Canadian society to discover, share and celebrate Black and Black African cultures in Canada through Music, Arts, Fashion, and Food while challenging stereotypes around Black people and people of African descent. The Festival will also allow International and National guests to discover the Nation's Capital, Ottawa. This initiative is part of Equal Chance's efforts to break the stereotypes, fight racism, discrimination and promote unity, love, and respect among all members of our society.

AFRO WORLD recognizes that Ottawa is located on unceded territory belonging to the Algonquin Anishinabe Nation. We pause to honor all First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples.

.

Funded by the Government of Canada.

🏎 • Hands-down one of my best purchases since I started making videos. Suction car-mounts are incredibly useful for a number of creative applications. Music video performances, short films, commercials, etc.

I picked this one up 2 years ao from Delkin for about $120. For small mirrorless cameras like mine, it is extremely durable and I’ve never had any issues. For bigger/heavier cameras there are similar options from other brands.

Uncle Joey’s Joint • I had some fun a few weeks ago putting together this intro video for a podcast by actor and comedian Joey “CoCo” Diaz.

@madflavors_world is a Cuban-American stand-up comedian, actor, and podcaster. After beginning a full-time career in stand-up comedy in 1991, Diaz relocated to Los Angeles in 1995 where he began acting, securing various film and television roles, including My Name Is Earl, The Longest Yard, Spider-Man 2, and Taxi. You can check him out on his new podcast “Uncle Joey’s Joint”, or previous podcast “The Church of What’s Happening Now”, as well as some iconic, highly entertaining appearances on the @joerogan experience.

🚁 • I recently sold my Mavic Air, the drone that I used for the majority of 2020. It is an amazing piece of equipment, but I’ve decided to switch it out for a more recent model which is better suited to my needs. Can you guess which one I chose?

2020 • Despite all that happened, this past year still saw the release of many amazing projects from creators around our city and around the world. I wanted to take a moment to look back on some of my favourite projects released in 2020. Thank you for your continued support, and happy new year!

Stay tuned.. there is much much more in the works!

ATMOSPHERE • Being able to create a specific atmosphere to match a scene can take your visuals to the next level. It increases production value, while also making the viewer feel more immersed in what they’re watching. Here is a quick behind the scenes look into one of the scenes I set up for the “Eighties” video by @lindasson_ .

ROCKOUT • I’m back to the music videos this month. Stay tuned for some mooovies 🍿
