In honor of the Nashville Predators - here is the first commercial we created and produced to announce the team to Nashville. This was used at the "Name/Logo Unveiling" Event at Planet Hollywood and then as the first commercial (also my first time directing a computer animated spot - all we had to go on was the name and the 2D Logo.
Trick Pony with "Pour Me" from that first year of the Celebrity Celebration (shot with an early version of a camera phone), this show was in a mega-tent, 6 years later it was a televised 5 camera shoot concert at Rupp Arena at The University of Kentucky. All for The Markey Cancer Center in Lexington. Heidi Newfield was a close friend as Trick Pony was the de-facto "house band" at The Wildhorse Saloon just a year earlier. She did some great solo work, but glad to hear that Trick Pony is back together and putting out some great music - Heidi was my lil Wild-Pony Baby-Doll (with all respect - just a great girl)!
The very first promo for The Celebrity Celebration - we had plans, but little did we know what this would evolve into.
This is the Sponsorship Reel for the NFL Players Party at The Super Bowl in Miami that features footage from the event in San Diego that we produced. Obviously the footage centers on the players access - but will give you an idea of the multiple components involved. We literally built a city in Embarcaderro Park on the San Diego Bay - 18 bands in 3 days, plus more activities than I can mention. and oh, the stories I could tell.....
Tim and Faith performing "Your Love" at The Ryman. The song was Number 1 on the Billboard charts that week. Love when synchronicity happens like that. This was an All-Star show to promote the Nashville Predators and we televised it in the Nashville area. Delbert McClinton even wrote an original song - "HockeyTonk Jam" just for the show. Killer show at The Ryman.
Another one for Bertie Higgins, his classic, "Key Largo"
