Extreme Bat Mitzvah Cake Challenge

David Robin — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 10:33:36 +0000

For Brooke’s Bat Mitzvah Concept Video we entered the exciting world of Extreme Cakes. These types of challenges being increasingly popular on The Food Network, intrigued our Bat Mitzvah girl to try her own.

Special thanks to Chef Bryan Cox from Hillcrest Country Club, who not only opened his kitchens to us, but acted as Emcee!

TNT’s “WEDDING DAY”

We were honored with the task of creating a movie trailer for this weeks episode of TNT’s “Wedding Day”.

Michelle and Roy

Michelle and Roy continuously give their time and energy to help improve the lives of others. They work for a nonprofit community outreach and opportunity center, mentoring, tutoring, instructing and assisting at-risk youth. The spotlight is now on them with a Hollywood wedding that begins with a specially created movie trailer by david robin | films, detailing their love story and climaxes with a silver screen wedding at the Park Plaza Hotel.

Hayden & Madison- Magical Mystery Tour

This Photo Montage (i think our best yet) for our B’nai Mitzvah client, was inspired by the Beatles, and the “Love” show.

My digital artist Luis spent nine weeks of his life bringing this to life. Working closely with Luis I came up with different themes and concepts for each song I wanted to use. Choosing the right music was easy – I used all my personal favorite Beatles tunes!

Slowly it all took shape. However, running out of time we brought in our second digital artist Matt, who in one weekend created the Strawberry Fields/Across the Universe section. Amazing!

This is what Roy Chapman, President of the Wedding & Event Videographers Association (WEVA) had to say about it:

“Are your still breathing? Because my dearest friend….I am not.
David you have just taken my breath away….completely. And, I thought “Entourage” was over the top. Now, here I am with my jaw on the ground. I cannot believe what I just watched…and am about to watch again…and again. Your photo montage masterpiece with the Beatles score is absolutely beyond belief. It is, without a doubt, THE most phenomenal montage artistry I have ever seen anywhere, anytime …. on video, TV, movies…anywhere! Every second of this montage is a talking point in itself. You have not only reinvented Yourself ….you have reinvented the whole entire genre of “photo montage” pure and simple. And they said it couldn’t be done. I am just stunned. This work needs to be transferred to ultra hi-res because there is really only one proper way to watch it… on the movie screen. That is where it belongs!!”

WOW, thank you Mr. Chapman!

The biggest challenge was using all 150 photos and home movie clips in a ten minute time frame. I think we succeeded! Hope you like it. Please leave feedback.

Spencer’s Animal House

David Robin — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 17:07:22 +0000

Had a lot of fun creating this Bar Mitzvah concept video inspired by the movie “Animal House”. I really tried to capture the “heart” of the original movie without having to touch any of the R rated content. These are 13 year olds after all!

The supremely talented Loyd Calomay helped with a ton of the writing as well as helping out on our main shoot day. So a HUGE thank you to him for all his efforts.

Other crew members included cinematographer Anthony Kuhnz, audio assistant Alex Bromberg and digital effects artist Luis Naranjo.

Rachel & Isabella’s B’nai Mitzvah Montage from David Robin on Vimeo.

This fabulous event was put together by Heidi and Carol at King Dahl Event Design at the Westlake Hyatt. They did an amazing job! My good buddy Stuart Townsley took the photographs, and Billy from H2H rocked the house as usual. Can this guy ever NOT rock the house? Don’t think so.

I have to tell you though, this family were great. Kathryn (mom) is so warm and kind, it made it a joy to work for her. With clients like these, you just want to go above and beyond. Thank you so much. It was truly a pleasure!
