This is a podcast stimulus package worked up by a bunch of us in Phoenix to convince Marc and Fausto that they really should be here on Phoenix Pride Weekend and we're rolling out the red, err, pink carpet for them! It was a lot of fun to put together and was probably the most ridiculous video I've ever produced.......enjoy! Now they love the idea and we're just wrapping up the final tidbits to get them here!

nidocast turns 10 this week, and I wanted to show everyone how things are done 'behind the scenes'. I talk a bit about how I produce the show and then actually start podcasting while the video is running. For the rest of the show, visit nidocast.com or subscribe on itunes! Today's theme of the show is Valentine's Day and how it is celebrated around the world and throughout time!

This was a short, web-based promo for the GOLD party in 2006, an experiment that was done by Kevin at his own warehouse space. The experiment to hold the party at his own space and save costs worked! He eventually got the space next door and spent nearly a half a million dollars and nearly went bankrupt in the process to transform the original idea for an event space into today's Stratus event space!

After the event at the Civic Plaza.....which was the biggest event setup I had ever seen for a circuit party... (at least here in Phoenix) ...the events went forward as planned and moved to the ICEHOUSE. I took all the footage from the Roland Belmares event with a customized soundtrack done by DJ Jeremy and created this promo!

This was the very first major video I had done with modern editing systems, taking footage shot at the rainout-moved-party at BOOM Nightclub instead of the outdoor festival-like event that the first RISE party was supposed to be. RISE Phoenix was a series of monthly dance events created by Kevin Andrews in 2004 featuring major djs and Dance Recording Artists from around the country.

This was a much shorter, and separate, promo for Pride itself. I also created a separate Promo for ADONIS that year.......which was incredibly complex to build.....which is why this one is so simple! But it gets the point across and builds the momentum for the big weekend!

This was the most ridulously complex video I had done to date. It combined the timeline of the two-day festival with ADONIS in between and I left no stone un-turned. The whole video goes into a 3D world as it heads into the ADONIS 'circuit party' atmosphere and then returns to normal for the second part of the Pride promo. I loved it, but of course I created it ........duh!! :-)
