SKETCH PAD WITH CHANNING FRYE

Matt — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 07:25:59 +0000

Here's the latest release from our side project, Rainbreak. It's a new series called "Sketch Pad" and I can't tell you how appreciative we are to Channing Frye for being our first guest and guinea pig. Now, if you should happen to be a prospective client looking through this site vetting our production quality, then this video is not for you.

RAINBREAK/CON BRO CHILL LAUNCH

Matt — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 06:30:29 +0000

Today was an exciting day for Droptree as we celebrated the launch of our side project, RAINBREAK, with the premiere of Con Bro Chill's latest video "Respect Your Partner." Rainbreak is a collective of like-minded video geeks devoted to releasing at least one original video every month - it's basically where we go to create videos that nobody will pay us for. There's some unbelievably creative minds involved so I'm thrilled to see what comes of it. Here's our first offering.

HALF COURT LADDER SHOT

Believe it or not, this was only Ty's second try. It took me far more attempts; more than I care to reveal, but I did make it and have the footage to prove it...as you shall see.

This was following our second and final day of shooting for the upcoming Con Bro Chill video "Respect Your Partner" which will be released shortly. I can honestly say that that was the most fun I've ever had on a shoot and it was an amazing first project for the Rainbreak Collective. More on that to come... Patience is a virtue. I learned that on the ladder.

CLAPTASTIC

How do you make a baby clap to music? Seriously, does anyone out there know? During our latest music video shoot, we learned that making babies clap to music is darn near impossible. But not after applying some serious elbow grease.

Here's a sneak peak of our upcoming music video for Ragnar Rosinkranz. This is a shot of my son playing the part of "Gypsy Magician Audience Baby #2." He was such a prima donna that he requested periodic naps throughout the day. This was our compromise. Look for the completed video sometime next week.

CON BRO CHILL - ARENA (FEAT. SAMM)

Matt — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 00:09:00 +0000

What do you get when you combine duct-tape armored gladiators with a high octane arena song? Let's not let that question remain rhetorical for too long lest your mind wander into the gutter. The answer is...the latest Con Bro Chill video! The boys needed some help behind the camera so I tagged along while Con Bro Chill & SAMM got busy with some of the worst/funniest fighting action ever seen. Have fun getting this tune out of your head.

Just getting the new website up, so please bear with us. Hopefully, these entries won't always be this worthless. Just so this wasn't a total waste of your time, here's a chimp I hung out with while shooting in Sierra Leone.
