Orange RockCorps Concert
The DP Gavin Brennan had me operate on the concert that the RockCorps association offered to his volunteers. With lots of big names from the rap world, it took place at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City. Here is a short intro from Busta Rhymes I shot the day before. More videos to come.

New Jib!
I am very excited to announce that I own and operate a new Jimmy Jib Triangle, which can now reach 30ft. Besides the usual features, it also offers now a set of four skate wheels to put the base on tracks and improved crank wheels for smoother moves. Contact me for booking!

Metro Station – “Shake It!”
Now producing his own music videos, Justin Benoliel asked me to join his crew with the Jib at the Los Angeles Theater (pretty amazing location), located downtown, to shoot the music video of this new band. Johnny Ching was the DP.

Jimmy Jib on “Timer”
Harris has been shooting this feature for a couple of weeks and wanted to use the Jib for the last shot of the movie. Last Sunday, we built the arm on the tracks of the “College of the Canyons”, in Santa Clarita. Here is a video of the shoot.

Let’s shoot in RED!
>Andrew Shulkind offered me to work together again with the jib on a music video for Partizan. The overnight shoot took place in a mexican grocery store in the valley. The exciting part of the project was the camera: the RED! The one we got has the serial number #30 and is obviously still not 100% ready. No viewfinder and most of the outpouts don’t work yet. But the camera was very easy to balanced on the remote head of the Jib and we didn’t have any bugs or problems.

The music video “Elephant Gun” is out
My first post on this blog will be to invite you to have a look at the new Beirut’s music video, which came out just a couple of days ago. I worked on it as a jib operator in March and I am really proud of it. I think the director Alma Harel really succeeded in capturing the floating and nostalgic atmosphere of the song. Bravo 🙂
