I was blessed and fortunate to produce and direct this DVD, and loved working with Israel. He is the most down to earth man I know, and nothing is impossible for him. His crew and band members were also amazing to work with. I so badly wanted 12 cameras for this shoot, but as always, … Continue reading Israel Houghton and the New Breed Alive in Africa

ALANIS MORISSETTE – WILD AND WONDERFUL
The time I toured with Alanis Morissette was a wonderful, challenging experience.

U2 WOW !

What I would have done to just workshadow on something on this scale - The "claw" as they call it was brilliantly utilized with 8 follow spot operators within the claw so neatly hidden, so effective..the screens were something … Continue reading U2 WOW !
