After the last Xavier Toscano video we produced which was featured incredible laser banding technology, we knew we had to do something unique again. Going with the concept of future/retro disco, we decided to rent a 24 x 24 foot programmable LED dance floor. Benjamin Jones created synced projections and floor videos that were synced […]
I was really excited to work with my old Kaura bandmate Adam LaBay who now runs @precisionlasers and has created what is known as “Laser Banding”. When shot on video at a certain shutter speed, parts of the laser become invisible to the camera and the result is an incredible look. We utilized this for […]

Its been a long time since we have provided any updates so I thought I would check in. The past 4 years has been a blur of activity as we here at TBJ Productions have been so busy with music videos, commercials, event videography, branded content, you name it, we have been doing it. The […]
Montreal based toy company Mighty Cast contacted us to film a commercial in downtown LA for their new tech product NEX Band, an interactive fashion bracelet that connects with your phone and all your social media. For this production we oversaw casting, wardrobe, and location scouting in addition to the filming, editing , and post production graphics we typically do. We wanted a lot of motion so we shot with a steadicam on the streets of LA. The weather was great, and we got our epic shot atop a building at sunset. You can see the video in our portfolio and here are some behind the scenes photos from the shoot:
We were excited to get the call to film the music video for Swiss Pop Singer Lama Soubra’s ‘Fashion Girl’. We only had 5 days notice as Lama was leaving back to Switzerland so we quickly assembled a cast and crew and began planning the video. We shot at a video at the Greystone Stage in Sunland as it was the perfect background for a fashion shoot and enabled us to both film on the set as well as in the makeup room. Combined with some graphic animations we were able to film Lama with 5 different outfit changes, each with completely different hair and makeup. It was a long day but we got through it and she was very happy with it. See the photos below for some behind the scenes photos.
We were excited to get a call from Hailey Reese’s management a few weeks ago as we had enjoyed producing a series of 3 behind the scenes videos for her in the summer. She has just recorded a great version of “Santa Baby” and wanted to film a music video for it and have it shot and edited in less than 5 days. It was a very tight schedule with only a 4 hour shoot but we pulled it off! We shot the video up in the Hollywood Hills and on Hollywood Blvd. Two little people actors, Eric and Lena were hired and they were a pleasure to work with. A Santa’s Village was erected quickly and we were able to get the last shot finished right before the sun dropped over the horizon. As always Hailey was a complete pro and the shoot went very smoothly despite the fast shooting pace.
We just finished the edit, and with a little fake snow added in post production, the Hollywood Hills were turned into Santa’s Village. You can view the music video by clicking here.
Last month, CAIR LA, a non-profit advocacy group for Muslim Americans in the Los Angeles area contacted us about producing a year end wrap up video to showcase their many accomplishments from this past year. They were familiar with our work with the UMMA Clinic and we were excited to work with them for the […]
When we got the call from Ash Niaki’s management that the 15 year old hip hop phenom from Tehran, Iran was going to be in LA and wanted to shoot a music video we were excited. However, we only had 48 hours to gather crew, studio, and put together a concept. Thanks to Malcolm Guess, […]
We had the pleasure of producing 3 behind the scenes video vignettes for pop singer Hailey Reese, a Toronto native. Our intention was that each video would have its own unique look and focus. This was achieved through using different cameras as well as the coloring of the video during editing. We […]
