Elamintal Hits One Million

with 4 comments

The official Elamintal Multimedia YouTube Channel has now reached one million hits on its videos! Elamintal Multimedia is my company that offers a wide range of media services including film and video production.

The YouTube channel was originally created to have a place to put the promotional videos I started editing and eventually producing for renowned martial artist Marrese Crump.  We put out the first few videos with good success and exploded when we put out Crump Workout. Once we released the videos with our friend Dave Batista, it was a wrap.

What’s really cool as well is that only 4 videos account for the one million hits. We had released a few more at one point, which would have had us over the one million mark a few months ago, but some of them were made private for a few different reasons. There are lots of other projects I’ve produced over the years and are on the clients’ channels or not published on YouTube, including my directorial debut of a short film that is making its way around the festival circuit. Another cool element is that if you put the videos in chronological order from when they were uploaded, you can see the progression in the quality.

Between this blog and YouTube channels, they not only provide a platform to showcase my work and projects, but also act as a journal of sorts for me to reflect on my accomplishments so far and to put my future path into perspective. You can expect lots of big projects soon as things progress.

One million hits might not be a big deal for some, but for me… it’s a nice milestone for someone who started out with nothing more than a camcorder, a computer, a camera…. and a dream.

Pronobozo Music

without comments

Pronobozo isn’t someone you may have heard of yet, but you will… soon.

I first came across his music when it was laid over a promo video put together by Team Ryouko, a martial arts team out of Canada. As great as the footage was, I was amazed by the music. I looked it up and found his website, www.pronobozo.com.

I downloaded his album, zero=one=everything, and fell in love with it. At the time, I was running a small martial arts organization for children called Warriors Tribe and I had emailed him about using his music on my website.

Over the years, I’ve taken it upon myself to help get his music out there… having it featured in films and soundtracks… and just telling my friends about it like I am now. A Patriot Act was the first film I had his music featured in that made waves at many film festivals and those who were at the premiere of my directorial debut, Traceur, got a small taste of an upcoming track during the credits. I even put his music on the latest promo video I produced, Batista Crump Kali, which is now gaining about 1,000 hits a day.

He just posted a small promo video about his new album coming out soon including a sneak preview of a track called Evol. It’s very… guerrilla style… which I like. So check it out:
