Los Angeles production company Tiger House Films has teamed with the GRAMMY Office once again to cover a professional video production interview with hip hop legend LL Cool J in promotion of his new collaborative album which includes tracks with the who’s who of music industry icons spanning many different genres. Tiger House Films Founder Jason Kent Carpenter and GRAMMY video content producer Ben Lamb worked in conjunction with the Tiger House Films team to create another cinematic video production interview at The Television Center in the heart of Hollywood’s studio district.

LL Cool J began the interview detailing the process of creating his upcoming album, aptly named Authentic. LL’s professionalism was apparent from the beginning of the interview as he greeted us all politely and even spoke about the details of the space as we set up. Having been on major television productions for many years, LL was completely comfortable and eloquent speaking in front of the camera which allowed us to conduct a very smooth video production and also gave us many options in post production editing.

During the video production, LL spoke in detail about the process of creating such a unique and collaborative piece of work with artists such as Eddie Van Halen, Brad Paisley, Earth Wind And Fire and Snoop Dog Just to name a few. He also spoke of the early years of his career and how he was discovered by Rick Rubin and Russell Simmons in the 1980s. It was a pleasure for the Tiger House Films video production team to have had the opportunity to film LL Cool J and we would like to thank his team for being so gracious.

ABOUT THIS TELEVISION PRODUCTION:

LA Production Company Tiger House Films has produced the primetime television production, “ABC’s Primetime Fall Preview Special Presented By “The Chew”. Our work on this television production includes producing and shooting interviews and the wrap around for new fall shows including “The Goldbergs” starring Wendi McLendon-Covi and Jeff Garlin, “Trophy Wife” starring Malin Akerman and Bradley Whitford, “Back in the Game” starring James Caan and “Clinton Kelly On the Disney Lot”.

“THE GOLDBERGS” PRIMETIME TELEVISION INTERVIEW:

Starring Wendi McLendon-Covi and Jeff Garlin.

Shot at Quixote Studios in West Hollywood California, the Tiger House Films Production team produced a three camera primetime television interview showcasing the two stars of “The Goldbergs” as well as Daphne Oz from “The Chew” who was our host for this television production.  Our T.V. production team did an outstanding and professional job keeping within the strict timeline set by the actor’s schedules. As a major part of the interview, we would like to note that our set designer Juliana Rowlands created an authentic American 1980’s look to perfect the environment and theme for this primetime t.v. interview.

“TROPHY WIFE” PRIMETIME TELEVISION INTERVIEW:

Starring Malin Akerman and Bradley Whitford.

This on-location primetime television production took place in a night club in Koreatown for the new ABC Show “Trophy Wife”. Our cinematographer Nicola Pizzi met the challenge of matching the lighting to create an interview environment resembling the karaoke bar in which the two main characters of “Trophy Wife” meet on the show. This T.V. interview consisted of three cameras and our Los Angeles production crew worked seamlessly to bring professional lighting, cameras and set design together to meet a tight primetime television production deadline.

“BACK IN THE GAME” PRIMETIME TELEVISION INTERVIEW:

Starring James Caan.

This primetime T.V. interview shoot features legendary actor James Caan and “Chew” host Carla Hall. Tiger House Films’ television production team scouted many baseball fields in the Los Angeles county area before finding the perfect one in the city of Toluca Lake, CA. This T.V. interview consisted of three cameras and full G&E in an outdoor environment on a very hot summer day. A star Waggon was brought in for Mr. Caan to relax as the crew set up large diffusion and reflectors on the field. Our crew’s ability to adapt and work efficiently in every kind of environment is what allowed us to excel under the extreme conditions for this primetime T.V. production.

“CLINTON KELLY ON THE DISNEY LOT” PRIMETIME T.V. PRODUCTION:

Starring “The Chew” host Clinton Kelly

“The Chew” Host Clinton Kelly introduces each segment of ABC’s primetime special on the back lot of Disney Studios, located in Burbank California. Tiger House Films brought on our union television production crew to shoot a two camera primetime production including teleprompters, dolly with track, and full grip and lighting equipment. This segment of the Primetime special was meant to create a “behind the scenes”, “on the lot” feel as Clinton introduced each portion of the fall preview special.

OUR PRIMETIME TELEVISION PRODUCTION OVERVIEW:

Our primetime television productions for ABC’s “Fall Preview Special” Presented by The Chew consisted of four primetime T.V. shoots over the period of two months. The entire hour long special aired SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 1 (7:00-8:00 p.m. ET) on the ABC Television Network and is also available in it’s entirety on ABC.com. Tiger House Films’ television production team would like to thank the New York production office of “The Chew” for giving us the opportunity to work with them on this Primetime Fall Preview Special. We are looking forward to the next production!

Los Angeles film and video production company Tiger House Films has teamed with the GRAMMY Office to cover an interview with UK recording artist, Daley for an installment of the Recording Academy’s 5 Questions With… Series. GRAMMY video content producer Ben Lamb and Tiger House Films founder Jason Kent Carpenter worked together on set with the the Tiger House Films video production team to create a cinematic interview environment at the legendary East West Studios in Hollywood California.

This was a particularly fitting environment for a recording artist as talented as Daley. He showed great generosity toward the crew by agreeing to an impromptu performance which was certainly a thrill to record. Daley’s humble personality combined with his enormous ability to create profound music is the reason for the incredibly positive impression that stayed with all of us after the wrap.

As of today the video production is on the Grammy.com Homepage!

There is more info from the Grammy website on Daley’s background including information on his upcoming debut studio album Days And Nights.

Our multi-camera coverage included the use of all in-house Tiger House Films production and post production equipment. It was a pleasure to work in collaboration with Ben Lamb and the GRAMMY office to create this video project.

East West Studios information:
East West Studios has been host to some of the greatest artists of all time. Quote: “Frank Sinatra recorded such hits here as “My Way” and “That’s Life”, while Elvis Presley revived his career with his 1968 Comeback Special. Since then, a who’s who list of music royalty have left their mark here, along with famous themes from film and television productions – including Mission Impossible, M*A*S*H and The Godfather.”

On opening night of the festival there was a red carpet for filmmakers in front of the Arclight Cinerama Dome across from the Los Angeles Film School. Filmmaker Jason Kent Carpenter was interviewed by Minglemedia TV and other media outlets alongside one of the incredibly talented stars of the film, Katie Wee.

The experience at Hollyshorts was a mixed bag of emotions. During the screening, the projectionist in the booth began to play “Agent 6” from a point in the middle of the film. Luckily our team had a backup blu-ray with us at the time and the film was re-started from the beginning. Although the incident was somewhat embarrassing, it may just have been the reason it caught the attention of the distributor due to projection technicalities causing a bit of a stir.

Overall the festival was a fantastic experience and our team would not have traded it for the world. Thank you Hollyshorts for giving us some great memories to carry with us into the future.

BIO:

To be fair and honest, I don’t love writing about myself at all. Also, to be fair and honest, I don’t think most of the people could care less about my life. So in the end you don’t like and I don’t like it, but here we are anyway. My name is Nicola Pizzi and this is my Bio:

I was born in Milan, Italy the 4th of January 1981, My father is an engineer and my mother is a psychotherapist. Since I was little, I was passionate about writing and arts. I enrolled in my first writing competition when I was ten with a short story titled “The Garden of Death”. It won 2nd place. The first place went to the grandaughter of the dean; they said my topic was a little too dark for a 10 year old audience. To this day, I consider upsetting a bunch of moms and teachers one of my greatest achievements. I grew up loving science and math, but I ended up pursuing classical studies at the Parini High School, my father insisted. There, I fell in love with history, philosophy and literature and I was exposed to all the great writers, modern and ancient, that I still hold dear today. Right after high school, I enrolled in Algorithm Design for software applications at the Bicocca University of Science in Milan. Back then the new economy was roaring; it was a safe career path and I liked math and science anyway. Go figure. After three years studying matrix operations and mathematical functions, I realized that I might have been hasty and made a wrong turn.

If I was going to pursue my passion I needed to make a “180”. I dropped out and started writing for Argo 42, a literary magazine of the Milan State University. I joined Controprogetto: a craftsman social collective where I learned about carpentering and staging and enrolled at the Civic Film School of Milan one year later. After two years of studies in screenwriting, I graduated and moved to the Chinatown area of Milan. In those years, I was working as a PA on commercials and a television talk show, while simultaneously writing my anthology of short stories. Back then I was sharing my apartment with the painter Gianrico Agresta, whose mentorship and friendship furthered my comprehension of the arts regarding the evolution of music and figurative arts in history. I published my first book in Italian: “La strage dei giocattoli” (The toys massacre) collecting all my best short stories of those years. Things seemed to be lining up in the right direction for me, but I was up for another dramatic turn.

In 2008, my girlfriend at the time, and ex-classmate from film school, decided to move to Hollywood to tackle the biggest entertainment industry on the planet. It seemed like a rather hazardous plan, but love is love and we shopped for schools. I left everything behind: family, friends and writing dreams, and we moved to Los Angeles where I signed up for the Los Angeles Film School. There I met a remarkable class of students, with many passionate souls and a many foreign fellas. I felt at home and even though switching language meant leaving writing behind for a while, I found that my passion for arts , storytelling and science combined perfectly into the Cinematography craft. In 2010, freshly graduated, I worked as a volunteer PA on my first American set.

Two months later I gaffed my first indie horror movie and have been freelancing on set since then. Lots of marvelous things have happened in the last three years: I have worked as Director of Photography for Tiger House Films, I gathered my first experiences as art director and editor and I got married. Now that my English has improved from the awkward days of miming and lexical deficiency I am resuming my writing activity too, hoping to go back crafting stories. It has been a good ride so far, and it looks like it’ll get better, at least, until the next dramatic turn…
