Hey Everyone,
Well, another year has gone by quicker than you can imagine. Each time I sit down to do an update, I am amazed it's been a year since my previous entry. Goes to show you how busy things have been here at JNP Productions, but that's OK...WE LIKE BUSY! So here is a quick rundown of what we've done, and what's coming up for us here at JNP.
We jumped in with return customer Dawnelle Elizabeth for not one, but TWO new videos. Working with this Christian solo singer is always an adventure, and we were excited to complete both new videos for her in a timely manner. "The Truth Will Set You Free" was filmed at a picturesque horse stable up in North County San Diego, while "Want To Tell" features the hustle and bustle of Downtown San Diego and the many people who make it such a colorful city. Watch it here:

Next we got to work with the great people in the band Sometimes Julie for their song "Head First". We were excited by their idea of bringing to life a modern retelling of the famous Wizard of Oz. This ambitious video was a real challenge, but we love a good challenge! After a few meetings, a schedule was set and the JNP crew, the large cast of actors and extras, and of course the band, all came together perfectly. Everyone worked really hard, and after a LONG day of filming we got all the shots we needed. Can't thank everyone at The Merrow enough for their help. The final video really shows all the fun we had working with them, and we hope to do another video with them soon. Here it is:
After that, we received a call from the people at Mach Stem Nutrition. They were interested in a catchy video to release their new "Kombat Kocktail" supplement drink. We don't normally do commercials at JNP, but being a fan of MMA, and with the idea they wanted a music video for their product launch, I felt it was a great fit. We got to go to their gym, meet the guys, and watch them train to show you first hand what these guys go through...cool stuff! John was thrilled with the result and thanked us saying we helped “fulfill his dream” That means everything to us. To check out the final video, click here:
Once in awhile, a new client comes to us with the idea of trying something new. This was the case with PRIMADONNA. She had a very catchy dance song and her ideas were open to interpretation. We were intrigued, and after a few talks, she decided to trust her unique vision to us. We had a blast bringing this song to life! Filmed in 2 locations, one outdoors up in beautiful Bonsall, the other in a film studio in Old Town San Diego, she performed her heart out. The video turned out the way we had hoped, very dream like, and features some very specific B-roll footage that had a lot of meaning to her. Check it out here:
We always love doing metal videos, and we got the chance to work with San Diego thrash metal band Detonated for their video "Set To Annihilate". Their music is full on, and in your face! Filmed at the Arcana Brewery in Carlsbad CA, the guys tore through the song, one member at a time, in the blistering heat. Luckily for us, the brewery was a nice place to "wrap up" after a long day of filming. To see the video click here:
Speaking of metal, how could I forget the "Cowgirls From Hell"?! It's not everyday that an all female tribute to Pantera appears on the scene, and when I saw how well these ladies rocked the challenging material, I was stoked to be asked to do their first video. Don't let their kick ass performance fool you, they are the nicest group of girls you could work for, and I am proud to say the video has already helped them land some great shows. And more important, their fans love it! It has reached 12,000 plays already in just 3 months! Check it here
Finally, we just released JNP Productions 4th Official Demo Reel. I'm really excited to show off the whole journey of JNP in this video and hope it attracts new projects for many years to come! You can see the demo here
Some random notes while I have everyone here:

Finally, we are offering a new promotion! To give back to everyone on our first 8 years of business, we are offering a special deal with any band/artist who signs up for a video with JNP through September 2015. Any new customer gets 15% off the total budget! What about repeating customers? Well JNP has always loved our repeat customers, so we are offering ANY repeating customer 20% off! All you need to do to get this deal is be sure to share our new demo reel, and send us a screenshot of it on your page. But hurry up, this deal ends 9-30-15.
