Once again, we shot this at The Factory studios in Brooklyn. Bob Blankemeier helped me out with this as well as Ben Ng as his grip. It was an easy set up. One Couch and a white wall. That's all it took to get the visuals correct. My favorite shot was the "watching tv" shot. Great job Bob on that, it created the illusion of really watching tv with just a few lighting tricks. It was released today on Valentine's Day. Hope you enjoy!

2011-02-03T06:41:00.000-08:00

This was shot at my favorite studio, The Factory in Williamshurg. We rented a few lights and had Ralph gaffed for me. It was supposed to be a 3 hr shoot but we extended to 7 hrs. It was a long night, I was really tired and was not looking forward catching a flight at 6am the following morning to San Francisco. After the edit was done, I contacted Supremo Vengador from Mexico City to do the animation. The animation brought it to life, his team definitely did their thing.

2011-02-03T06:34:00.000-08:00

We shot this at the infamous Rucker Park. We spent most of the day there, the weather was no cooperating with us at all. I had Bob Blankemeier on steadicam which was dope. We also rented a 64 impala which I thought would be the highlight of the video. I had really great shots of the car. Other than that, it was a smooth day. The best part was that After the shoot, We went to eat at La Caridad restaurant on 116th and 2nd ave, delicious place to eat.

This is my latest production. I shot this in Watsonville, Ca. I never felt so sick in a trip before and specially on a shoot. I stay in Cali for about 3 days and two of those days i felt like shit. I don't know what happen to me those days but I felt so ill on the plane that I thought i was going to get the Flu. It was an hour and half plane ride to San Jose. I just finished doing a graveyard shift at my 9-5. For some reason, my body started to ache. I was really down at the airport, I thought i was going to collapse. Luckily, i drank a hot tea in the plane and took a quick nap. When I woke up, i felt a little better, but enough to keep going.
Anyhow, i went to the car rental and hopped on to Watsonville.
I got to admit, I had a blast. I'm definitely looking forward going back again. This time, i'll feel much better.

Kurious Jorge -Back With V.I.C from Javier Goin on Vimeo.

It gives me great pleasure to work with Kurious Jorge. I remember his album "Constipated Monkey" became my soundtrack to my early years in High School. It was all day just listening in the train on the way to school and on the way going home.
The way this project came to be was that I had met his engineer, Dave Dar, in my Rawkus days back in 2001.
Rawkus would always send me to artists recording sessions to document their sessions. Occasionally, artist are notorious for being late for sessions so that gave me time to chit-chat with the engineer or who ever was in the studio at that time.
The Cutting Room studios was right next door to the Rawkus offices. Many albums and songs were recorded there. My job was to simply document the session and make sure I don't miss anything.
Well, back to the story, I ran into Dave Dar's myspace page after 8 yrs on no type of communication. I reached out to him and told him I made music videos and if he knew someone that would need such services. It just so happens that he was working with Kurious Jorge for his upcoming album and the rest is history. I had the call on Jan of 2009 and shot it on Valentines Day, Feb 14th 2009.
Thanks to Kadi, (Jorge's right hand man), we rented certain essentials that would make the production with a little more value. We rented an Arri 2k light, steadycam, car mount, wide angle lense, and a genie. I also forgot the small light panels for the car shots.
I worked with David Salebe as DP, a great up and coming Director.
We started to shoot at around Noon all the way until 430am. And continue at 10am the same day.
Again, no storyboards, no permits, just hitting up different locations and shooting it. Well, i hope you guys like this video.

Dead Poets-On The Grind from Javier Goin on Vimeo.

This is my latest production. I shot this in October around Fordham Rd, The Bronx. At the beginning of the day, I had alot of over cast. The weather did not look right but for some reason, I was willing to wait it out. We've had bad luck on other several shooting dates due to the weather. I didn't want to postpone it again. On this production, I had David Salebe fo assistance. We waited in the car talking about the production and at the same time marking my spots for first takes.
Finally, the weather started to cooperate. Sunshine was our best friend because we were using a reflector board as appose to the one that I usually used. I love the fact that it was lighting it really good, as long as we were using it right. The sun played a big part in creating the look of it, in which i was really thrilled.
I always wanted to do a cypher shot and i think i manage to create one on all angles.
I then started to get the solo shots for each artist. I wanted to do different scenes for each artist. Keep in mind I had one location which was the park. I always have the first takes as ice breakers for me and the artist. As I view and analyze each shots, I start to get excited and then get into it. I start to see the final product as i keep shooting. I already start editing it in my head. It saves a lot of time and keep everything under budget. The second day was to get b-roll shots, all shot on slow mo and then I would sprinkle it all over the video in post.

Hey People,
It's been a fun summer for me . I really don't know where to start. Well, I've shot music videos out of the country and it's getting great feedback.
I had the opportunity of meeting great people and seeing new places that i truly admired. For instance, I went to Mexico, DF to shoot Bocafloja'a "Autonomo" music video. I took my best bud, Dre, we had alot of fun shooting this video. Mexico is a great place and I underestimated its culture. The food is delicious and the places we went to were amazing. So imagine if we get the chance to go to Acapulco or Cancun. Very soon i hope.
During this trip we met another MC by the name of Cambio from California. He was in Mexico touring with Bocafloja. He liked what i was doing and decided to hire me to shoot his first video from his album. I agreed to it and didn't think it was going to be that soon. Him and Bocafloja were going to perform in Puerto Rico at the Hard Rock in August, I suggested to shoot the video in PR because it was closer to NY and the air fare was going to be a lot cheaper than going to California. He totally became excited to the idea of shooting the video in PR. Once we arrived to PR, i couldnt stop admiring the beach, in which it was the first location we scouted for the video. The water was so warm and the scenery was just too much.
I say that the food wasn't that out of the ordinary, I've had better in NY.
Other than that, the summer was good to me, no complains. Oh i forgot, the best day of the summer was July 4th, my daughter's birthday. She's my little angel, daddy's little girl. Well, feel free to check out the new videos i'm about to post and don't feel shy to leave a comment. I always embrace good feed back. Thanks a lot people for taking this time to read my blog and many more to come.

Hero "Be Aware" Directed by Javier Goin

Add to My Profile | More Videos

This is was shot in two days, actually in one day because most of the shots I chose were shot in the second day. It was fun shooting in the middle of the street of Bushwick, BK

2008-01-09T19:02:00.000-08:00

This video is the first video shot with a 28mm Canon lens. I was counting on the Dolly that i had ordered to arrived for the video, but it never arrived. I couldn't let the dolly ruin my day, so I just went with it and started shooting. The weather was perfect that day and it worked well for the video. I think the shots in the roof is amazing, it's probably one of favorites shots. Well, I hope you guys like the video, enjoy!

I shot this video in Lima, Peru. It was one of the most memorable trips I've ever taken. I miss Peru as well as my family. To be honest, I'm definitely moving out there as soon as this filmmaking business kicks off. It was a pleasure working with Peruvian Hip-Hop artist Pedromo. I had fun shooting this video in the mean streets of Peru. I still wanted to shoot in Los Barrios Altos, known to be a dangerous area but I wanted to come back to the USA with my camera intact, lol. Hope you guys enjoy!

I had fun shooting this video. I want to thank Edwin and Johanna for helping out on this shoot. All I remember was that wild crazy car ride in Brooklyn. It was hilarious because I had no idea where I was going and yet, everyone was following me and I'm from Queens.LOL!!!
