liz'ann entertainment

introducing a new friend of mine, who happens to be a bright young star, in san antonio, tx. her name is liz'ann and she has a crisp voice, is energetic, and gives a great performance. she's been entertaining crowds for over 5 years and is available for private parties or for concerts, with her band. in this particular clip, she performs for a private birthday party, and her performance steals the show. everyone enjoyed her lovely voice and her interaction with the crowd. if you're looking for live entertainment in south texas, liz'ann is the one to call. if you may be interested in her services, you may visit her at www.myspace.com/lizanngomez.

ambient lighting and on-board microphone were used for this footage.

tarantula rocks

this entry is a short demo for the houston-area rock band, known as tarantula. these guys have released their own music (which is played on this clip), and also play cover music. if you're a fan of dio, black sabbath, iron maiden, tool, judas priest, ozzy osbourne, buck cherry, and other similar rock bands, then you'll really enjoy seeing these guys perform. as you can see, these guys can work up a crowd; yet remain down-to-earth, which is not commonly seen in their industry .

sorry, but i had to butcher the song, due to explicit lyrics. if you'd like to know more about this great band, or to listen to more of their great music, they can be found on-line, at http://www.tarantulaonline.com/. this footage was taken at time-out sports bar, during two shows. http://www.timeoutsportsbar.com/.

enjoy! also keep in mind that compression causes a loss of picture quality.

"nature"

this post is simple test. i am experimenting with a new shooting style (speed and aperature settings). there is a very nice park in my area (helen's park, league city, tx) where this footage was shot. this park stays beautiful, year-round. our warm climate allow new flowers to be planted every two weeks. i think the spider at the end of the film is especially neat. the bright colors on the underside of his body, resemble a smiling face.

"amazing"

this is a photo/video session which i created, with the help of a lovely assistant. this one was quite interesting, since i was not only the videographer, but also the photographer. "amazing," by aerosmith, was used in the preliminary stages of this video, and as progress was being made, i found it difficult to break away from this song. besides, the adjective (amazing) describes my subject. she is a pleasure to work with, is down-to-earth, and very personable. i hope you enjoy!

hi-tops & lolli-pops

Here is a brief trailer for my current project, tentatively titled "Hi-tops & Lolli-pops." I had a great time shooting this event, and working with this family. Everyone was so kind and appreciative. I hope you enjoy, and welcome any feedback. And, as always, thank you for looking. Hi speed connection is needed (buffering can take a while).

Feb '08

Excited about my trip to Florida, I immediately returned back to Texas to work on my website. I finally have online demo clips, and a blog. I'm in the process of writing a script for my next project. Michelle, my sister-in-law, has offered to help. I'm looking forward to creating something beautiful for her and my brother.
