Jessey & Thomas
We arrived on Sunday the 5th in lovely Venice, California. After some travails with the GPS system we finally found our hotel - the fabulous Holiday Inn Express. Unfortunately when we arrived the desk clerk was nowhere to be found...so after a period of waiting we decided to grab something to eat in hopes that when we returned we might get into our rooms. (We think the desk clerk was in the back watching the Oscars.)
Anyway, after a very fair meal at Islands Hamburgers we returned and finally got into our rooms. The movie is a a delightful (eh hem) tour of the Holiday Inn Express in Venice California…included simply for videoblogging posterity…

This trip was a rich and full one - we shot two subjects during our visit - Our first (March 5-7) was with the excellent design shop helmed by Jessey and Thomas of http://www.stolen.la/
Anyway I am waiting for photos from the other members of the team to create a quick photo blog of the haps...but a quick summary follows...

Met with Jessey and Thomas for breakfast at Figtree’s Cafe on Venice Beach http://www.figtreescafe.com/ – The food was fantastic. The view was amazing. And issuing from a bench adjacent to our patio seats, we enjoyed a serenade of Beatles classics from a performer wielding a acoustic guitar. This stop is highly recommended if you plan to visit Venice. The morning was grey and so was actually a great one for an outdoor beach shoot. We set-up on a turquoise lifeguard station and plied Jessey and Thomas with our introductory 20 questions...During that segment, Jessey and Thomas quickly laid to rest our fears that they might be quiet and hard to draw-out. These guys have an abundance of personality that will definitely show on the footage.
In the remaining time we had with the guys on Monday and Tuesday we got some more great interview footage and then additional coverage in their home/office and at a photo shoot for an MTV Europe project.
