Trinidad Carnival 2012 With Dj Bambino

Trinidad's carnival is one of the best carnivals in the world. If the Trini's aren't celebrating it, then they are preparing for it, while reminiscing about last year carnival. The video below is a recap video of Carnival 2012 in Trinidad. Yes I know its late but better late than never. I had a great time last year; unfortunately, I won't be able to make it this year :( but hopefully I will be back in 2014. Take a look at the video as Dj Bambino takes you back to Carnival 2012 in Trinidad. Trinidad Carnival 2012

Di Curry Tek Mi

First I must say Happy New Years and all the best for 2013. Thanks to all my subscribers and those who constantly follow my work, I really appreciate it. With that said my first post for 2013 is of a video I filmed over two years ago. This video is of Dj Bambino who stopped by his Mom on the way back from a party with Burger (Yes thats his real name). Bambino's Mom fed them both but for some reason the curry affected Burger. A few weeks later Bambino stop by to hail up Burger and he talks about the incident. Enjoy Boom

Art of Basketball (Art Basel 2012)

The Art of Basketball is a collection of original artworks under license from the NBA. The collection currently features unique canvases, such as the official NBA Backboard and the 2011 NBA All Star Game basketball court (the floor). Public Works Department taps a select group of leading graffiti and street artists to re-imagine the most iconic symbols of the game. The Show took place on Dec 7th, 2012 during Art Basel weekend and had a great turn out. The Big three of the Miami Heat were in attendance to show there support and give back to the community. If you were not able to attend the show check out the recap video I created below of the show. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-W2MUmKzoxg]

Nothing Ventured

One of my few mistakes were trying to shoot both short films in one day. That should have been a big no no. I spent about 1.5hrs just creating my shot list and on the day of the shoot I forgot it. So I had to go off memory for the shots needed to make this story happen. The good news was I had one of my favorite actress on set and a great team that I assemble to bring the project to life. We did make it happen and below is that product. Thanks to great cast and great crew who were able to overcome all the obstacles we faced and special thanks to Flowers By Judith, YoungTheHyphenate, and the creators of the 50kisses.

A Ghetto Punk Romance

I came across a short film competition called 50Kisses and decided to give it a try since I have never shot a short film before. Below is that product. We filmed this with no budget but thanks to my generous crew and cast we were able to pull it off. I ran into a few obstacles but no one really cares about obstacles we just care about the finish product so I will spear you the details. Specials thanks to Collin, YoungTheHyphenate, Johnson's Firearms, Patrick Sage and everyone else involved; your efforts were greatly appreciated. Special Thanks to the 50Kisses team as well for creating a project like this. [vimeo http://vimeo.com/54517555]

A Night On The RunWade (Highlight)

I had the pleasure of attending NBA Champion Dwyane Wade's A Night On The Runwade - A Benefit Dinner, Fashion Show & Live Entertainment to help raise money for a worthy cause - Wade's World Foundation (WWF) benefitting local South Florida charities. The video below is just a quick highlight of the night. Special Thanks to: Bob & Lisa for the invitation and thanks to Elite for editing this project.

Miami Carnival 2012

Out of all my years attending Miami Carnival, this year was the worst. I thought the Carnival was very disorganized and I'm not a fan of the carnival being held at Sun Life Stadium. Thanks to good friends I made the best of my time there. Here are a few pics; enjoy.

A Night On The Runwade

Dwayne Wade is known for his fashion appeal and last night at his fashion event "A Night On The Runwade" brought us inside the fashion world of Dwade. The event consisted of a benefit dinner, live entertainment, one of a kind auction and a fashion show. The atmosphere inside the Moore building was filled with exotic cars, beautiful women, high fashion, great food and drinks; however, A Night On The Runwade was all about giving back and raising money for a worthy cause - Wade's World Foundation to benefit local South Florida charities. Thanks Bob.

It's Carnival Time Again

Miami Carnival 2012 is only a couple days away where you will experience the sounds of soca/calypso thumping, the sight women gyrating their bodies in carnival costumes, the touch of feathers, and the taste of jerk/curry. Come enjoy over three (3) miles (5 kilometers) of color and pageantry as 10,000+ Carnival revelers take to the streets in Miami celebrating 25 years of Miami Carnival on 10-7-2012. The image below is a continued series of mine featuring women in carnival costumes. Thanks to Jeane & my seven eleven friend for allowing me to take this pic.

Floatopia Miami

Floatopia is known for floating on rafts, other home-made or store bought floating devices and partying at the beach. The event started out on the West Coast in small numbers but has since traveled across the country in increasing numbers. Yesterday South Florida welcomed up the event for the first time and below are some of the pics.

Save The Date

The most common way to announce your wedding date is sending out nice cards to all your friends and families. Tracey and Rohan went above and beyond the nice cards to announce their wedding date with a video that would grab the attention of their guests. Below is that video.

50 Things About Jamaica

50 friends spoke about what's one of their favorite things about Jamaica. Many of us may not reside there permanently but it's still considered home. We are a small island and the world knows who we are. Let us continue to make our island proud by doing good on our part both home and abroad. Congrats to all the leaders who have contributed in the past 50 years to make us who we are. Our work is far from over and we must continue to make our island better for the youths of the next generation. A special congratulations to all our athletes who represented for Jamaica in this 2012 Olympics. Happy 50th Jamaica.

Happy 50th Jamaica

On August 6th, 2012 Jamaica will celebrate 50 Years of Independence. Last year I took my first pic dedicating it to our independence and this year I did the same. I plan to continue doing this hopefully for a few more years God willing. You can view last year image here --> http://rogerbstillz.wordpress.com/2011/08/05/795/ Happy 50th Jamaica - Out Of Many One People

Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation and freedom in all just pursuits.

Diaries Of A Bathroom Attendant

Most mornings on my drive to work I listen to the Rickey Smiley Morning Show. I honestly don't think there are any another radio shows as funny as these folks. On July 13th 2012, they interviewed a bathroom attendant and the video below Diaries Of A Bathroom Attendant came from their interview. The video is for entertaining; I have no personal issues with bathroom attendant neither do anyone in the video. AGAIN the video is for entertainment. Are you not entertained? Thanks again to the entire crew of the Rickey Smiley Morning show for providing me daily with humor and a fresh start to every morning. Thanks to: Angel, Aniela, Collin, Jodi, Mike, Slim, Shiobann, Thalia, and Xavier.
