Reggie and the Full Effect "J Train" music video

Here's the final cut of the "J Train" music video by Reggie and the Full Effect that I had worked on a while back. I think the video is pretty sweet and has some sweet production value- it also helps that I really like to song too. I have to give some props to my buddy, director John Carlucci, for pulling out another great video. Reggie and the boys will be back on Long Island for one of their final shows soon at The Crazy Donkey on September 10th- definitely check them out!

The My Chemical Romance Monster

I created this short time-lapse film during the recent shoot of the J-train video for the band Reggie and the Full Effect. It shows Frank Iero of My Chemical Romance (who appears in the video as Frankenstein) going through the very long and detailed makeup process. The actual time of the specific clip would be about an hour and a half but it's more fun to watch it in a few seconds. I've worked on a number of different productions but nothing with this kind of makeup before- these guys were great. The video was shot by my friends at Speedway films and will be out on television shortly.

Well, you gotta have faith

I just recently worked with some old friends (Speedway Films) on a music video shoot and realized that I graduated from SVA with my BFA in photography 10 years ago. I was going through some of my film archives and I've been scanning in some of my pre-digital photography. Here's a clip of a contact sheet from 10 years ago of Limp Bizkit and right before they blew up and became big. I remember telling friends that I photographed them and no one could believe the name of the group. It also has a shot of Fred's setlist and of Clutch who was opening for them at the time. It brings me back...
