Sometimes in my work I come across some random facts and today I’ve decided to share one with you. 
The Arctic Tern -  Nature’s bird perfected. They live up to 30 years, they migrate from the Arctic to Antarctica and back - a mere 44,300 miles a year. You might wonder when they find time to chill out? Well, it turns out they settle in once in every one to three years and thats just for a little bump and grind. While these circumpolar playas glide the globe racking up air miles, Im trying to figure out why I still have poor cell reception on Laurel Canyon but NASA has a robot cruising MARS ?

Wolfgang Gartner - Spacejunk Official Music Video

Earlier this year my company SMI Entertainment had the pleasure to work with Wolfgang Gartner filming his live show. We featured his stage setup “Medusa” from designers who brought you Daftpunk’s “Pyramid”. 

Our in-house producer at SMI manned the 6 hour long time-lapse, and our crew worked through the night to capture Wolfgang’s set. We cut together this piece and added some effects at SMI. We think they liked it, they decided to use it as the official music video for “Spacejunk” on Wolfgang Gartner’s album Weekend in America. 

Here it is on MTV:

I recently did a really cool interview, I was very lucky to have it shot by my friend and amazing talented colleague, Kurt Iswarienko. Suit by Dior.

A live performance music video I directed for Benny Benassi premiered on RollingStone.com today.  Check it out!
