“Overcome” by Alabaster (Official Music Video)

Garrett directed and Jill produced this music video for the Seattle-based band Alabaster. We don’t often get to see punk rock, ballet and krump dance in the same project, but the critical reviews have been overwhelmingly positive. Check it out!

Here’s a link to the video on YouTube.

“Santa Claus is Coming to Town” by Justin Bieber

Garrett edited this music video in southern California in October during 3 sleepless days to get it delivered to Sony Pictures in time. You can view it in true 3D right now if you go see it play in theaters before Arthur Christmas. Even if you’re not a Bieber fan, check out the excellent urban dancing from many members of The LXD!

Erin and Giorah

Kate & Andy’s surprise wedding

Kate and Andy somehow managed to plan a secret wedding without any of their siblings, parents or friends knowing (aside from a few bridesmaids and groomsmen). They had told everyone that they were eloping to Italy next month. The plan went without hitch and everyone involved had a blast!

Jekyll & Hyde: The Music Video

Happy Halloween!!! Garrett directed this music video for Theoretics that premiered last night during an amazing show at The Triple Door in downtown Seattle. Jill and Garrett co-produced it and the band of course wrote the music!

Jill also took production photos throughout the five days of shooting. Check out the cast photos here: (designs by Helene Hawthorne and Lastwear)

Nanda & Joel

It’s rare that real life turns into a musical, with hundreds of people breaking into song at once. It’s rare, but it happened at Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, WA for Nanda and Joel’s epic wedding on September 17, 2011. Enjoy!

Colleen & Jose Highlights

Colleen & Jose’s wedding on Whidbey Island on 9-10-11 was breathtaking and beautiful. They were relaxed and amazingly affectionate. The photo highlights gallery link is here.

The LXD Season 3 Finale

When Garrett isn’t working on portraits and weddings, he’s usually working on some film project in some remote place of the world. In May and June he was creatively involved in The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers (The LXD), assisting director Charles Oliver on four of the ten episodes in season 3.

Along with storyboarding, assisting the director and working with dancers, Garrett edited the season 3 finale, “Rise of the Drifts,” which was finally released today. Enjoy it!
