Premiere: Hypebeast TV Jake Davis: Motion Man

JakeDavis_Hypebeast  

Being the one behind the lens, I always find it kind of funny when we get a request for an interview. I guess I just don't think I'm all that interesting. Maybe what I do is interesting... Sometimes... Big thanks to Hypebeast, Eugene Kan, Kellen Dengler, and Chris Black for making this happen. God knows it would've just remained an idea without their execution.

Also an amazing thank you to every client of mine and every person that's let me shoot them. Ultimately, that's why people are interested. I'm trying to get better everyday and without you guys that wouldn't be possible. Thanks again...

Supreme Mural

Supreme_Mural1 Supreme_Mural2 Supreme_Mural3 Supreme_Mural4Supreme_Mural5 Supreme_Mural6

Last Saturday we shot a time lapse video of the new Supreme mural on Grand & Wooster. A classic area in Soho, which features some favorite landmarks like Lucky Strike and Deitch Gallery. You may remember Banksy's rat previously occupied the spot. We shot for about seven hours and compressed that into thirty seconds. You can watch the result over at the Supreme website. Believe it or not the artist painted by hand. It's a pretty amazing process.

While you're over at the site be sure to check out the Fall preview. The guys did another amazing collection. I had seen bits and pieces but it's always cool to see it all in one place. Some really beautiful coats, shirts, and accessories that will definitely find their way into our wardrobe...

Supreme Lou Reed Honeyee Spot

Supreme Lou Reed Honeyee spot directed by Jake Davis

The collaboration goes something like this Supreme x Lou Reed x Terry Richardson x Jake Davis x Honeyee. Anyway you look at it I was happy to get down. By now I'm assuming you've seen the posters everywhere in your real and internet life.

We shot on an undisclosed street at night with a very tight crew. One take. It's a really simple yet effective spot. I think the statement speaks loud and clear. Check the link below for a closer look. 

And yes, there's no audio on the spot. "Don't you know Bad Boys move in silence..."

Location Scout: Supreme

Location1A Location2 Location3

Hooked up with my peoples Angelo and West last night for the location scout on a new Supreme promo I'm directing. As usual I'm sworn to secrecy and can't say much other than it's going to be the dopest shit we've done yet... And if you haven't checked Angelo's blog Some Due Some Don't below is the link. He always has something up his sleeve whether it be throwing his party Coochifrito, art directing for Supreme, or designing his own line Absurd. He does more than that but I believe in the rule of threes...
