Nou Sove documentary vignette

We just cut our first vignette utilizing footage from our documentary "Nou Sove" on the incredible Melky Jean:

http://kijikmultimedia.com/nousove/


It was done rather quick and with a more direct and deliberate approach due to time constraints. The documentary will be more stylized and we shot the original interview using two cameras with a lot of coverage, but until we edit this one fully we feel it drives the point home.



Next up Mr. Jimmy Jean Louis, who is the focal character of the film. His interview is incredible and his trailer vignette will showcase what the documentary is about. I'm extremely excited as the film shapes up and we head toward post production.

FIRE!!!!!!!

Holiday Flavor

This is a little diddy we did for a client a short while ago...well this is section of the project anyway. We think it has a little holiday flavor, so here it goes.

The Beach Chronicles WEVA Expo and premiere

The Orlando WEVA EXPO and the Miami Beach Cinematheque premieres were a tremendous success. If you made it out to the TBC premiere, you would have seen the latest vignette "Dirk Plays and Pays". The story is changing and there's much change to come. What has been seen will be unseen and the chronicles will unfold like dark matter, filling voids and creating questions, laying mysteries and clues exponentially. The next phase of the website is up and the latest vignette can be viewed online. The website will evolve with the story, changing to reveal clues, as there are clues in every facet of the story.

Here are some quotes from attendees:

"Cooler... than Sin City"

"The greatest thing I've ever seen!"

"I'm not a huge sci-fi fan, but I loved this!"

and from the WEVA Expo organizer Roy Chapman:

"Having The Beach Chronicles at EXPO was off the hook...!! TBC's got the WOW factor
built in to every frame. Already got great response. Many thanks
again....All the best for huge success!

We are blown away with the overwhelming response and are even more energized as we prepare for the incredible Halloween event with LEVEL Magazine! There will be
photographs and video from the premiere coming soon and the next vignette "The Order Moves In" will be debuting at the LEVEL magazine Halloween event next month. There are mysteries and clues scattered throughout the website, Facebook, Twitter and even the LEVEL magazine ad, so check them if you can for clues to the story and a mystery contest coming your way soon.

District 9

District 9 is a great film. I saw the short about 6 years ago and felt the same...knew it was destined. After living in South Africa for 8 months, so many details resonate and there are layers in the film that are hard to detect if one has never been/lived there. Quite nuanced.

WEVA and TBC!

Uber excited. Kijik president and CEO Kevin Sharpley is invited to speak at the WEVA conference in Orlando on the 15th about The Beach Chronicles. Wanna go and find out about the next international hit! Click here. WEVA expo and TBC.

Dark Night of the Soul

Our two latest projects.

KijiK does projects for high profile clients, but we also do projects that are low key and under the radar in terms of national visibility because we take on clients that we believe in. There are two projects that we are excited about and we feel are worth mentioning due to the strength of the stories and the visibility that we feel will come in the future from both.

One is quite high profile and we are extremely pleased to be a part of it. It's being tentatively called "Backstage of the Backstage" and is a series of videos and mini documentary hosted by John Legend's brother Vaughn Anthony. It's over three years of backstage footage from three years of touring with Mr. Legend and his brothers recounting of the incredible times and places they've seen. It coincides with the soon to be released album from Vaughn Anthony which I can say is going to blow people away.

The second project is called 64 Toy Pianos at Vizcaya. We recently covered this event put on by Wendy Mae Chambers, renowned for her stunning performance extravaganza's. The event took place at the amazing Vizcaya Italian Renaissance-style villa and formal gardens built in 1916 as the winter residence of industrialist James Deering. It's an historical landmark in Miami sprawling over acres of lush foliage and vista views of baroque art, sculptures, gazebo's and exotic plants set against the backdrop of Biscayne Bay. Scattered throughout this wonderland were 64 Toy (miniature) pianos each playing original compositions individually, in quartets and in tandem. We weren't to sure what to make of this project until the actual event and can say it was indeed a day to be remembered. The whimsical and sureal combination of the sprawling Alice in Wonderland garden and the full sized people playing toy pianos was both campy and brilliant. Loved it! We've decided to cut a bigger piece on this one, which should be done in the next couple of weeks.

We'll have footage and coverage on both soon but for now here's a link to a great video and a favorite so far for 2009 Tommy Spark's "She's Got Me Dancing":

Black Joe's Lewis

So I give you the straight dope...Sugarfoot. Hotness indeed.

OK, Mr. Affleck has karma for years.

And another great story...coming from a CEO

let that be a lesson to ya. it can be done.

Bin Laden

Bin Laden? One of the biggest stories of the century.

Riches to Rags to Riches

You never know where you're going to be even if you think you're better than. Show respect, get respect and karma and karma....

story here, KARMA here

A story for the ages. Build a bridge when you can, you never know where you're headed or may be on the back.

Congrats Josh Brolin, Words for the Wise

Congratulations all those who have been nominated for Academy Awards. The hard work, determination and perseverance is justifiably rewarded through awards. This is the biggest, although others such as The Golden Globes, SAG, DGA, etc... are equally as important. You can see many of the winners in the films we chose in our top ten. Congratulations specially to Josh Brolin, who can be seen in our top ten, as well as on the blog for our documentary "Nou Sove".

And on the note of winning, these words of winning came our way today. We e-mailed internally, but sharing (which is not on there, but should be) is another way to win. So without further a due:

Developing a Winning Attitude

Here are some tips on developing a winning attitude. Check the items you are already practicing.

* Don't dwell on your problems. Decide what can be done today about each problem and take action. Repeat once per day.
* Don't focus on other people's faults. Focus on the only person you can change - yourself.
* Keep your perspective - don't exaggerate the importance of trivial issues.
* Accept any praise that others offer you. Simply say, "thank you."
* When you receive criticism, think it over, make changes if you think they are desirable, and then let it go.
* Don't compare yourself to others. You are a unique person with unique gifts.
* Recognize that others are only trying to get their needs met. They are not out to get you!
* Realize that everyone has insecurities. Give others the benefit of the doubt whenever possible.
* Don't think about all your problems at once. Trust that you can handle each problem individually.
* Don't dwell on the past. Forgive yourself for mistakes and move on.
* Always be ready to appreciate what others have to offer. Maintain a friendly and open attitude.
* Don't worry about appearing weak. Trust yourself to leave a situation if that is what is healthy for you.
* Don't worry that others are watching you and judging you all the time. Most people are too preoccupied with their own lives to do that!
* Don't hold grudges. They will make you mentally, physically and emotionally sick.
* Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
* Cultivate a network of family and friends. Devote time and energy to keeping those relationships healthy and happy.
* Don't become jealous of someone who has something you want. If you feel envious, decide what you want to achieve and pursue your goal.
* Keep an open mind when others give you advice. You can think it over and decide whether or not to take it later.
* When you need help, ask for it from the appropriate person.

Physics in your hands.

love it.

Congrats to Alumns, Marc Menard and Arlene Tur

The new year is a time to reflect. Old times, new times, what's ahead, what brought you to this point. Good or bad, bad or good. Hopefully the bad is the good bad and not the bad bad, but it all goes into making us anyway, doesn't it. And KijiK reflects too. What, KijiK is not a person you say. Why yes, KijiK is a collective. A collection of projects and culture that add up to a whole; the sum of all parts moving cohesively. So we're taking a moment to reflect on some of our alumni, those that have gone out into the media world and have done fine things. On this occasion we're pontificating upon two of our finest that rather or should I say we rather worked together on first projects. So without further a due, here's the two:

Marc Menard:

Marc is featured in our short film and webisode series LIFELINE, which incidentally is being developed into a feature film. You saw him first (not really first, but maybe we got sloppy seconds or thirds)with us. You can now see him in one of the new episodes of "Lost" on NBC. So congrats on that sir and we will welcome you back home soon for some of our big projects on the horizon (if you look hard enough, you can see which ones on one of our sites).

Arlene Tur:

The lovely Arlene Tur is the hostess of our web series "Playing as Locals". She has also been featured on E!, The Food Network and last year on Grey's Anatomy. But you can see her now on the hit series "Crash" on the STARZ network. Of course we will be bringing her back into the fold as well, but for now Congrats, you deserve it.

This is the first in our Alumn throwback/giveback, but definitely is not the last. Look through our sites and in our upcoming projects. The KijiK star train keeps on rollin. Till next time...
