If you follow me on twitter (JaiNima), you may remember earlier this week I instagramed and tweeted a picture of me and the artist, Jamel Castro, beat after wrapping up his video shoot. I shot the majority of the video, serving as Director of Photography for his promo video. It’s was my 1st stint at the music video thing, and although it was kind of stressful because Jamel Castro is a film director in his own right, it was lots of fun and I look forward to doing more.
Check out the promo video from Castro’s upcoming project MDMA, coming out November 1st.

WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN’: MDMA
5 OctWHAT GETS YOU MOVIN’: Pledge Allegiance
4 Oct
Recently I’ve had this burning desire to start shooting music videos, its something I wanted to do as a teenager, but the desire eventually went away. So it was perfect timing that one of my favorite photographers, Sarah McColgan recently shot a music video. The visuals are quite stunning, and it has inspired me to go out there and start shooting.
For me, the visuals are how I’d anticipate a photographer to shoot a video, more than how a DP trained in film would, and I think that’s why I like it. There are (to me) just a differences as to how someone who is used to shooting stills may frame and approach it; I think that really works in shorter formats, like a music video. Anyway, check out the video, the song ain’t too shabby either, it’s Pledge Allegiance by Ro James.
WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN’: Other Worldly

Check out the new track, Other Wordly by Kim Hill, produced by the homie DJ Dummy. If Kim’s name seems familiar you may remember her as the orginal female from The Black Eyed Peas.
The smooth-airy vibe strays away from what we normally hear on the radio. Enjoy.

Yelawolf I’ve decided to add a new category to What Gets You Movin, and that would be ‘Hotness’! Since I was about 14, I’ve had these mini crushes on people, a new person almost every other week. Nothing serious, just someone or sometimes a subject/entity that heightens my radar for the moment. I’m always sharing […]
