A few short-form video projects I enjoyed creating recently

I always planned on shooting the Olympic Torch relay when it hit Toronto. How can you not get excited about the Olympics in Canada? When I heard film director Ivan Reitman would be passing the torch to his recently Oscar nominated son Jason – that was a moment I needed to capture.

Kayvon of KayvonTV fame represented Sharpie markers in the Pink Ribbon Sharpie campaign to support Breast Cancer research. It was the first of a few content sponsorship deals we would attempt with our KayvonTV brand.

When Cadillac – an official sponsor of the Toronto International Film Festival – wanted to evolve their TIFFinsider.ca news site much more into social media worlds, I started with a few Youtube video interviews with film critic Richard Crouse.

When the Toronto Raptors are in the playoffs – that deserves a special report by the one and only Kayvon of KayvonTV fame. Of course, the street thing is not all Kayvon is good at. We did manage last year to get him a golfing date with a couple of legends.

A recent viral hit (over 25,000 plays the last week.) Really a lesson of when you capture a reclusive celebrity personality – doing something interesting – a huge online community of HARDCORE FANS do notice and engage.

After I added some broadcast style graphics we had a shopping channel satire meets KayvonTV. NOTE: Slash books now sold out. (Perhaps we even stumbled upon a business model?)

After my documentary series Hounds played on TV in Canada – I started to re-edited the series for short form play online.

It was a mix of old and new media for the Quik Pod. I shot some inserts to match existing footage, added broadcast graphics, and edited everything to a tight 30 seconds. Later, I added a blog to the Quik Pod’s sales site.

The art of the documentary will always be close to my heart. Interviewing Nile Rodgers and hearing the story of such an iconic song was a very cool thing. This video will consistently get a few thousands plays a month till the end of time.
