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.

Los Angeles production company Tiger House Films has worked with the GRAMMY office once again to bring you a pre-show interview with the Black Keys back stage at the newly renovated Forum in Inglewood CA. The new owners of the Forum, who also run New York’s Madison Square Garden, have given the venue a major overhaul, bringing back a lot of the glamour and its 1960s red paint job.

In our Los Angeles production company’s interview, Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney of 57th GRAMMY nominees the Black Keys discuss why they’re committed to making full-length albums and the creative process for 2014’s Turn Blue, which is nominated for Best Rock Album. From the very beginning the way that both Dan and Patrick entered the room our production crew could tell that these musicians had been on a long road to gain their place on the throne as rock superstars. Having come from humble beginnings in the town of Akron Ohio, Dan and Patrick had given their heart and soul to their music. Even when success seemed like a distant possibility these two kept at it because it was “literally all they knew” and what they were born to do.

There was no entourage during the interview, no hovering manager (she was a lovely person). The Black Keys gave it to us straight and with no frills and answered all the questions in a frank and honest way. It was refreshing for our production crew to hear real people speak about real life and humble beginnings. Our Los Angeles production company would like to say thank you once again to Ben Lamb and Drew Hinze of the GRAMMYS for allowing us to come in and do the interview for the Recording Academy.

Our Los Angeles production company has teamed with the GRAMMY Office once again to cover a professional video production with GRAMMY nominated music artist Charli XCX. The Tiger House Films team interviewed Charli XCX before a live concert performance at the historic Mayan Theater in Downtown Los Angeles.

Charli XCX began the interview speaking about her experiences creating her album “Sucker” off of which the song “Fancy”  has been nominated at the GRAMMY awards for record of the year. She also spoke about her influences growing up as an artist and how she was very much affected by the 1998 music video for Britney Spears’ “Hit Me Baby One More Time”. The interview also covered Charli’s collaboration with Iggy Azalea on their GRAMMY-nominated hit.

Our Los Angeles production company utilized a very fast paced production method where our lights, cameras and sound were set up within 45 minutes of arrival to the Mayan Theater. Because the artist had a limited amount of time for our interview, our video production team was incredibly efficient in capturing the necessary moments to create an in-depth video about Charli and her current achievements.

Charli XCX was very gracious and down to earth in her interview and her genuine passion for her craft was apparent in the way she spoke about her life and road to becoming a GRAMMY nominated artist. Our production crew wishes her the best and hopes to work with her again in the future.

As of today our interview is on the VIDEOS section of the Grammy.com Homepage!

Los Angeles production company Tiger House Films has filmed a run and gun interview with GRAMMY video content producer Ben Lamb for GRAMMY.com with the Rock Band 30 Seconds To Mars at their Hollywood Hills home. Our interview production took place days before frontman Jared Leto won the golden globe for best supporting actor in Dallas Buyers Club and ahead of the 86th Academy Awards on March 2 — for which Leto won Actor in a Supporting Role.

Leto and his band mates discussed the making of their latest album, Love Lust Faith + Dreams, the state of the music industry and the importance of their award-winning documentary Artifact, among other topics. As we got set up in their home, Jared, Shannon Leto and Tomo Miličević came in and greeted us. Their space had a very laid back but edgy rock star quality to it which reflected their personalities to a T. Extremely friendly but with strong personalities, all three of them gave us a sense that their success was no fluke.

This GRAMMY interview gave us an insight into the 30 Seconds To Mars documentary Artifact, and the struggles the band went through in their career to get to where they are now. The idea of how passionate and resilient musicians have to be to battle the state of the industry really opened our eyes and allowed us to peer behind the curtain if only for a short time.

As an independent Los Angeles production company, we have a certain empathy for artists who wish to create but also make a living at the same time. We wish the best of luck to all members of 30 Seconds To Mars and also wish them well on their journey moving forward.

Erich Lennig of the Barnaby Saints was chosen by the Recording Academy to be the winner of the professional music video prize in the Hyundai Centerstage Competition Powered By The GRAMMY Amplifier. The video series following the three winners of this competition was produced by film and television production company Tiger House Films and directed by Jason Kent Carpenter.

The Barnaby Saints’ prize included the development and shooting of a professional music video by the directors of Walter Robot. Our film and television production crew followed Erich as he had his initial creative meetings with the directing duo and key players from Greenlight Media and Marketing as well as the GRAMMY office. Our behind the scenes footage capturing the process of making the music video gives insight into how a professional music video production is created from the ground, up.

The Barnaby Saints is a band based in Los Angeles CA. This group was started by singer/songwriter Erich Lennig and has been described as “a mixture of bluegrass, gospel, indie rock and layered harmonies. Their songs fuse old folk story telling with lush vocals, banjo, fiddle, dobro and swelling B3 organ to create a unique soundscape.”

The crew from our LA film and television production company enjoyed spending time with Erich and having the opportunity to capture his talent on camera. His vision and ability to create incredible music is what will ultimately seal his fate to remain a successful musician for a very long time in this industry.

About This Hyundai Centerstage / Grammy Video:

Gentlemen Hall is a 6 member band from Boston Massachussets and one of the winners  in the Hyundai Centerstage Competition Powered By The GRAMMY Amplifier. Film and TV production company Tiger House Films produced this episode of the three part Centerstage video series, following Gentlemen Hall as they claimed their prize from the GRAMMY Office. This prize included opening for  GRAMMY winning rock band Switchfoot, at their music festival, the Bro-am, which takes place annually in Encinitas, CA.

Our video crew captured moments between band mates as they rehearsed for the big festival, as well as their energy on stage during their live performances. Through a series of interview questions, we were able to gain insight into the mindset of the band members and what it means to them to win the Hyundai Centerstage competition and see their careers skyrocket. During the time that we were filming, Gentlemen Hall got word that they were being signed to Island Def Jam Records, which is a major label in the music industry.

They way Gentlemen Hall’s music can be described is that it is “a combination of the high-handed anthemic choruses of the Killers, the retro synth melodies of MGMT, and a dash of wildman flutist antics.” Gentleman Hall are currently finishing their full length album which is due out in 2013.

The crew on our Los Angeles Film and Television production company were honored to have the opportunity to film this band on it’s way to becoming big. We would like to thank Greenlight Media and Marketing as well as the GRAMMY office for making this production possible.

Tiger House Films has once again teamed with the GRAMMY office to bring you a live performance video by platinum selling artist Lyfe Jennings. During our live performance video production coverage at Smidi Music in Venice, CA, Lyfe performed a “GRAMMY Re-Imagined” cover of Michael Jackson’s hit song “Human Nature”. He also performed his new hit single “Boomerang” now in stores and on iTunes. Lastly, Lyfe gave a short interview following his performances.

As stated on the GRAMMY website, the vision behind this series is to “Link GRAMMY history with current music makers. ReImagined is a performance-based series featuring artists interpreting an iconic GRAMMY-winning song and performances of original music.”

The passion and conviction portrayed through Lyfe’s voice in both performances during our live video production were indicative of the amount of hard times this artist has been through. Born Chester Jennings in Toledo, Ohio, Jennings’ career began in 2004 with the release of his debut studio album, Lyfe 268-192. The album title refers to the singer’s inmate number while serving a 10-year prison term in Ohio. Later on, he conceived ideas for his upcoming album Lucid while serving another prison sentence from 2010-2012.

Our video production team had a pleasant experience recording Lyfe for this GRAMMY live performance video. His talent was apparent as soon as he began to sing into the microphone and it gave us a truly impressive impression of him as an individual. He was cordial and very professional. Having worked with GRAMMY video content producer Ben Lamb in the past, this was our first live performance shoot with him for the GRAMMY’s Re-Imagined series. Our work on this live performance video is still trending at #1 on the grammy.com website and has been for several days before this article was written.

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.”
