BAM Fact: This is the cover we submitted to Fab back in February when he first approached us to spear head the TiNC2 campaign. He put this cover up vs. the viral cover which you all know via Twitter and we lost by a small margin of votes. Couple of months later x post successful release and were right back at it. Full Circle.

Here are the latest installments in “The Funeral Arraignments” viral series conceptualized and spear headed by myself and the By Any Means Marketing team. Los knew he wanted a strip club setting but I was very adamant about not doing the “traditional strip club vid”…we went back and forth on ideas for about two days and finally I pitched the idea of them being nerdy businessmen. The whole thing came to me when actually hearing “Love Come Down”…”Show you how to move in a room full of vultures“. That line sparked most of my creativity for these videos. Every time you go to the strip club its always those older businessmen who are doing the sleaziest stuff to the girls and throwing around the most money. It also gave us an opportunity to incorporate a little comedy into the narrative with out losing the integrity of the video. Tons of great stories making these videos….the By Any Means: Behind-the-scenes coffee table book coming soon!

I’ve lived on my block in BK for about 3 years now which honestly has some of the most eclectic group of neighbors I have ever had…in a good way. When we first moved in I would see this older gentleman about once every two to three months, he would just sit on his porch and listen to his radio (mostly Yankee games) as if he had not a care in the world. There was just something about him that intrigued me though, maybe it was the older swag that just doesn’t seem to exist in our generation anymore, maybe his lawn which hadn’t been mowed in decades, or the fact that his fencing had no opening. It was such a photo to me…as if someone spent thousands on art direction and location scouting, and with my newly obtained Canon Mark IV 1D it was my mission to obtain this image. As I started seeing him more often I would try my best to exchange forms of pleasantries to set up a shoot, the nod, salute and the always infamous “Hi” didn’t work. After almost a year of being rejected the older gentleman finally returned the nod..I knew this was my time to strike up conversation. He introduced himself as “Henry” and it was full steam from then on, about 20 minutes into the conversation I finally figured out what was so intriguing about the man that lived across the street. He was suffering from Agoraphobia and hasn’t gone further than his porch in over 18 years! It was all making sense now, the stand offish attitude, his impeccable vintage attire, but more importantly his fencing with no opening. Days later, I came by with my camera and after a slight “ehhhhh” he obliged my request to a photo. I bring to you….”HENRY”.

Here is the latest visual from Desert Storm Reloaded signees 1st String. We shot this and “Goin In Circles” a few months back in there home town of Pittsburgh. This was sort of an impulsive video…we only story boarded “Goin In Cirlces” with the intentions of doing something lifestyle on the spot but really had nothing set in stone. It was when Thi and I were first introduced to the group we knew we had to utilize this energy, and document what was going on in this unsuspecting basement studio in the middle of a Pittsburgh suburb.
