The past two weeks have found me sifting through mountains of political ads and movie Western clips to try and find some semblance of a common thread. This week is the American Association of Political Consultants Pollie Awards fiesta. The Pollies award good campaigns and RedEye has been charged with showcasing the video spots in […]
Super Tuesday
Hello all! And to residents of Alaska, Georgia, Idaho, Massachusetts, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Vermont, and Virginia – happy Super Tuesday! Residents of those states can be sure to see plenty of ads today telling them why one candidate is better than another or why one candidate is just a downright threat to liberty […]
RedEye Report: Winter 2012
No one likes winter in the District. You never know if there’s going to be a Snowpocalypse, or gusty winds. But this year, winter was manageable, at times, even cozy. Which suited RedEye just fine. Less time complaining about the weather meant more time focusing on creating the high quality productions that you’ve come to expect from […]
Oscars 2012 – Reflective Cinema
I’m not quite an old soul [read: hipster], but I was raised with an appreciation of what you might call grand old things [read: pretentious things].

Last week I sat with Valeria as she put together a short clip of an interview on BET’s Lift Every Voice inspirational talk show. She had the raw footage up in Final Cut and began splicing up clips, not looking at the big screen on the wall behind her where Martha Munizzi, gospel singer extraordinaire […]
My 1st blog ever!
My 1st blog! Yay! OK, the reason why I am finally writing one is because I enjoy reading them and I have something to share. I feel like I am from a bygone era. I am no Jane Austen but I love her and period dramas of any sort. Ok, the Jane Austen, Emily […]
Taste of Jamaica
One of the great things about being in a city is the myriad restaurants and cuisines that are so readily available. I love to cook and eat and though I am no Anthony Bourdain of Food Network’s No Reservations fame, I am happy to sample frog legs or olive oil ice cream. My three roommates and I […]
