"A to the K" was entirely made by Jeff Ledellaytner
Written by George
Tuesday, 05 August 2008
...well, not exactly...but Jeff's contribution was, without question, a testament to how talented he is. Originally, Jeff joined the team as a producer and camera assist for George - that's it; or so we thought. In the end, Jeff stepped up to do much more and he basically saved the entire video. He did most of the edits and some of the more complicated effects necessary. Jeff's contribution behind the scenes was crucial for video completion. Jeff spent hours of work understanding HD and its work flow in Final Cut Pro and kept all of us on track. Don't be fooled - Jeff Ledellaytner might just be the most talented editor in Boston. Check out his website .
A to the K is done!

Thursday, 17 July 2008
AKRO video is complete! Watch it in the archive (A to the K). If all goes well, you should be seeing it on BET and MTV very soon. A lot of hard work went into this video: George had the opportunity to try on his director hat for this one, not to mention he shot the entire thing and got to do some fancy graphics too; creative direction for the video was provided by David Hohman of TracyLocke; and Jeff Ledellaytner of Spot Editorial provided his producing skills as well as editoral and effects support. It was a great team effort all around. Cogs is proud.
