The Borderline With Brandy
Brandy’s seventh studio album B7 kicked off with “Baby Mama” which was a bright and colorful anthem to single mothers out there. “Borderline” was a totally different song about the struggles with mental health and a relationship that emotionally took the singer to the borderline. “Being on set, getting to film the entire experience, it was unlike other videos.” Sikora said. The singer/actress really honed in her skills to fully embrace the acting in the video. “Borderline” is a deeply emotional song and very personal to the singer. Go behind the scenes and watch the making of the video. “It is such an honor to get to capture these moments with someone so legendary in the music game, it’s kind of mind boggling that I am a part of a chapter in this all.” Sikora said. B7 is now out in stores and available all music platforms! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJVZpQiXxLw&t=171s
Vibing With Jermaine McGhee
Meet the mind behind Da Vibe, an incredibly raw and powerful musical dance piece created by Jermaine McGhee. The creative has an MFA in Dance: Creative Practice with a Certification in Dance Stage Management and set out to bring his final thesis to life on stage this Spring but COVID-19 had other plans. “My initial plan for Da Vibe was to present the work on a proscenium stage. In my mind I saw the work unfold in an auditorium with various light fixtures, specials and specific light cues. I assumed that the proscenium stage could better manifest the thoughts of this research lead choreographic exploration on black bodies. However, when March 15, 2020 came, the panic of a global pandemic, COVID 19, derailed my conception and presentation of the work, Da Vibe. Once the seriousness and fear of the virus set in, I immediately brainstormed how I would be able to present this deep
Rise Of The Content Creator
COVID-19 changed our world forever. Businesses are closed up, food is scarce and toilet paper is impossible to find! The spread of the virus put most of the world into a lock down leaving people stuck at home with nothing to do. We are now 2+ months in and it’s been incredibly interesting seeing how people adapt and survive through tough situations. Unemployment is sky high, suicide rates are through the roof and then there are people who are thriving through all of this. Luckily for me, I am thriving…I’ll get to that in a bit…. TV networks and movie studios have been shut down with no new content being created for audiences. Movie theaters are going to have a rough summer and may not even survive when things slowly open back up. I personally have no desire to rush back into a theater, especially if I have to wear
This Will Have You On The Edge Of Your Seat
It’s April 2020 and quarantine has turned the city of Los Angeles into a ghost town. While the ‘Safer at Home’ order let people go out and about to get some fresh air, Sikora decided to take his drone out for a fun flight during his walk. Things did not go as planned, just watch… “It was definitely a nerve wracking experience, I do not want to relive! Even watching the video put me on edge.” Sikora said. The drone was luckily recovered and no property was damaged, it was a quick and well planned extraction. “Flying a drone is almost like riding a roller coaster, it’s an adrenaline rush, it’s really scary actually and this story was proof of the many things that could go wrong but luckily were resolved.” Sikora continued. Expect more flying from the filmmaker as he expands his collection with the new Mavic Air 2.

Ollie Wants It All For Christmas
Fluffy Friends has gone animated in their newest series Fluffy Friends Toons! The premiere kicked off with Ollie singing an original Christmas song in a hilariously colorful music video. “It’s been simmering for a while now, I really wanted to do little animated shorts with my characters, something different from the actual puppets.” The creator Sikora said. The singing and dancing is just the beginning as more episodes are planned to drop! “I am really excited to make shorts with all the characters and show them off in new ways. I wanted to give them a unique and fun art style, something that could connect to kids and adults.” Sikora continued. The Christmas song was also written by Sikora himself.
