A THROWBACK – NEW JACK HUSTLE

Posted: April 14th, 2011 | Author: Hilton | Filed under: Video | Tags: , , , | No Comments »

Here’s an oldie but goodie from when I formed like Voltron with the kid Evan Guidera. This is NEW JACK HUSTLE. The combination of Shawn Jackson and Newman(Giant Panda), a unlikely pair, who brought something pretty special together for their album SOUND CHECK. Shot in the spring of 08, this work was about creating the same high energy visually, as what is being given musically. Honestly, we were just going ape shit! A little Fresh Prince of Bel Air in there as well. Enjoy.

 


TEAM SIZZLE WORLDWIDE goes to CANNES!

Posted: April 14th, 2011 | Author: Hilton | Filed under: Film | No Comments »

So back in February I had the pleasure of working with Team Sizzle Worldwide for the first time and was the Director of Photography for their latest short film, When Beautiful People Do Ugly Things. Production took about 6 days and nights and was filmed in my hometown, Baltimore, MD. Director/Writer Monica Mingo and Executive Producer/Writer, Terrell Suggs, really did an amazing job at pulling together a workhorse crew and fresh talent to make this film everything it is. Now, not only a month later, WBPDUT has been accepted into the Short Film Corner at The Cannes International Film Festival! What an amazing way to start the journey. Congrats Team Sizzle and all that were involved.


E MAJOR’S “SHAPE OF THINGS”

Posted: April 13th, 2011 | Author: Hilton | Filed under: Music | No Comments »

Haven’t worked with E in a while on a vid but his new track SHAPE OF THINGS might bring us back together! Never mind the fact that the kid is like family, I feel like this track here shows the true MC that’s been lurking throughout Bmore, just waiting to devour the scene. Shit, “Gun metal Benz. Call that joint a pistol whip.” YUCK!!

Listen to the track below and let me know your thought on it.

“E Major is… Better Than Yours” drops Monday April 18th.
