Keasha & Chris Draft Wedding

2011-12-30T15:52:00.000-08:00

We recently had the opportunity to film a wedding like no other. I'd heard of Chris Draft and the Draft Foundation, but had never met him. It wasn't until Friday, November, 25th that we actually met. I found out we are both from Southern California, but more importantly, I found out that this was going to be a non-traditional wedding. A sit down-style wedding, due to the fact that his bride to be (Keasha Rutledge) was ill. We decided to use a two camera setup for the ceremony to make sure we got the shots that Chris desired.

Upon arriving to the church on November 27th, 2011, you could feel in the air that something special was about to happen. The groom was ready, making sure everything was set for this special occasion, even setting up a skype session for his grandfather to witness the nuptials from a distance. Groomsmen were all smiles as they were getting ready. Bridesmaids complete with their custom Team Draft tanks, and ready to assist the Bride to Be with getting ready to walk down the aisle.

Once Keasha arrived, she exited the limo and threw up the peace sign to our camera and we knew from that very moment that we were in for the time of our lives. The ceremony was beautiful and Keasha walked back down the aisle with her new husband with the brightest smile you can ever capture.

We arrived at the reception in enough time to shoot the beautiful decor, and to get the bride and groom as they entered the reception space. The first dance was magical, with Keasha placing her index finger to Chris' cheek to let him know that he was the one she would spend the rest of her life with. The cutting of the cake, toasts, father/daughter dance followed and the bouquet toss was complete with Keasha faking a toss to the waiting single ladies. She cracked a HUGE grin and kept it moving. Quinn and Jukebox kept the party going, performing your favorite jams, while Keasha kept an ear to ear grin, enjoying every moment of the party time.

I was very saddened to find out that on Tuesday, December 27, 2011 Keasha was called home. She fought as long as she could, and decided it was her time to go. Her spirit and memory lives on through this video:

Please lift their family in prayer through this difficult time...

Ynette & Michael Johnson Wedding Day - San Pedro, CA

2011-07-12T06:14:00.000-07:00

On June 10, 2011 we were in San Pedro, CA to provide video production for the marriage of Ynette and Michael Johnson. Being that Ynette is my cousin, I knew the wedding was going to be elegant. Well, it was that and more! Fort MacArthur Air Force base was the perfect setting for their beach theme, and the ceremony was beautiful and even included a moment of comedy when the pastor asked for the rings, and the groom's brother pulled out a ring pop! How funny is that? Anyway, enough of my rambling, just check out the trailer here for yourself.

This Friday, June 17, 2011 we provided I-MAG video services for the 29th Annual Spirit of Alliance Awards, held at the Marriott Marquis Atlanta. The Spirit of Alliance Awards is a celebration for the Georgia Minority Supplier Development Council honoring individuals, businesses, and government entities for their contributions to supplier diversity and minority business development in Georgia.

The MC of the evening was Fred Blankenship of Channel 2 Action news and the recipient of the 2011 Blue Legends Award was the Honorable Congressman John Lewis. The event was capped off with an after party entitled "Blue Lounge" where the awards recipients and their guests were able to let their hair down and party like it was 1999.

2011-02-18T13:22:00.000-08:00

We were recently given the opportunity to create the branding collateral for a writer out of Los Angeles named Leslie Poston. Because of Leslie's unique approach to her craft, we knew we couldn't half step on the overall design for her new company's image.

We designed the logo, business cards, and website (www.postonprose.com) Just like every design process, this took a while but both parties are happy with the end result, and that is all that matters! Take a look below and let me know what you think.

Green Screen Announcements

2011-02-07T12:48:00.000-08:00

We had a great opportunity to produce video announcements for our church (IMPACT Church). Our producer wanted them shot on green screen to make the announcements more interactive. We used two fill lights to light the screen and a key light to light our subject. The rest was all done in post production. Most of the graphics were pre-designed. We used Final Cut Pro, After Effects, Illustrator, and Photoshop to get the final piece. Check out the before and after below:

So Fly (Ft. The Alexanders)

2010-06-28T17:13:00.001-07:00

This video was done for Father's Day at IMPACT Church. We headed out to Charlie Brown Airport here in Atlanta, GA to film the interviews. When I first got the assignment, I thought it would be a cool project. But when we actually sat in on the story, it was so inspirational that I felt like this video had to turn out amazing, because the story is just that... AMAZING.

The Alexanders started the ACE program, The Aviation Career Enrichment weekend flight academy. This program launched in 1980 and is still going strong. Many of the African American pilots that are flying today, have gone through this program and crossed paths with the aviation legend, Julius Alexander.

Not only does Mr. Alexander teach aspiring pilots how to fly, but he taught his son and his grandson how to fly as well!!! Now how cool is that? Check out the video.

African American Dance Review 2010

2010-03-25T05:46:00.000-07:00

The African American Dance Review Season II production (The Progressive Realization of Dreams) ran from January 28-31, 2010 and February 4-6, 2010 at the historic Rialto Center for the Arts - Georgia State University in Atlanta.

The production consisted of approximately 12 performances (or scenes) and covered multiple genres of African American dance. This show is truely something that you have to see for yourself. KRJ Productions was charged with capturing this electrifying show for final output on DVD. We filmed 3 shows, and took the best of the 3 shows and edited the show down to one master show.

The dancers are amazingly talented and the producers were on point with every aspect of the performance. Shout out to Hipnotik Productions for providing the voice over and music for this trailer.

The night before Halloween, Sol-Fusion and Coors Light put together a memorable event. This was a hilarious party at STRIP in Atlantic Station. But what made the party easy to edit was the amount of people that dressed in costume and really came to party. Mary J Blidge, Sho-Nuff (The Last Dragon), Jerome, Otis, Cat Woman, Mike Vick and his Dog, Jermaine Jackson, Penny from Good Times, and Austin Powers, just a name a few, were in the building. Peep the vid, it is hella funny.

KRJ Productions joins the fight!

2009-11-16T12:06:00.000-08:00

Last month, KRJ Productions proudly supported Breast Cancer Research as the official videographers for Triple Pink Foundation's We Want a Cure Wii Game Tournament.

Triple Pink was created to increase awareness about triple negative breast cancers, one of the most aggressive forms of breast cancer. This type of breast cancer primarily affects young women under the age of 40. However, African-American women appear to be disproportionately affected.

The event was held at Straits Restaurant in Midtown Atlanta. Lots of supporters came out for music, food and of course, to get their game on with the Wii!! There was also a silent auction and a raffle for two round-trip AirTran airline tickets to anywhere in the continental US.

Video coming soon!!!!

Sole Addiction Loves LA

Here is a promo piece I designed for Sole Addiction Shoes. It is being used for their Los Angeles, CA clients as a email blast. You can check out their site, they have some pretty cool shoes for women. Too bad they don't have shoes for the fellas, but you never know what the future holds :)

Tribute to the King of Pop

2009-08-19T08:16:00.000-07:00

Last month we covered an MJ Tribute at Opera Atlanta. The event was pretty tight, complete with live paintings of MJ by some of ATL's dopest artists: Fabian Williams and Fahamu Pecou. Kemit, Salah, and Applejack kept the party people dancing.

What I did with the video was take some old MJ footage from VHS, convert it to digital and throw some filters on it to alter the image a bit. For example, the young lady mentioned Michael moonwalking on Motown 25, so just by chance I had that footage. I cut it in as she is talking about moonwalk then BAAAM!

Sooo, if you have old VHS footage, family videos, or your wedding, just remember, KRJ Productions can convert your video to whatever format you need, just email info@krjproductions.com for video conversion rates. Peep the vid, and comment please.

2009-07-07T16:26:00.000-07:00

Every now and then we receive a thank you letter from our clients, however this one blew me away. It makes me very proud to have our videos make an impact on someone's life.

We received a call from Ms. Huff at Kennedy Middle School about producing a video for her school's Fight Against Youth Violence project. The cool thing about this video project is the students did all the filming. All we had to do is edit the video and prepare it for submission.

Well, I am pleased to say, these students won FIRST PLACE!!!! Check out the wonderful letter we received from Ms. Huff, and be sure to tell a friend about KRJ Productions.

2009-06-22T21:35:00.000-07:00

This was the most elaborate 1st birthday party ever! There was so much fun packed into the Clara Meer Dock at Piedmont Park last weekend. Cydney Pace was the lucky young lady with a whole bunch of friends and family to share her special day with.

The adults and the children had plenty to get into at this party. Michelle and her team with Lemiga Events really put together a masterpiece full of details sure to leave an impression on guests. Some of the entertainment included: photo booth, Nintendo Wii, a caricature artist, arts and crafts (the kids got to make Cydney personalized birthday cards!), build a bear, Bubbleman, a magician, and a HUGE bouncer that sat right on the dock.

Okay, enough talking, just check out the video... Isn't she lovely?
