KX0101 Creative Arts Boricua Style

We have another great showcase this week and its a pleasure for me to feature a great talent like Karlo X. Ramos. I had the pleasure of meeting Karlo at the 11th annual Latin Alternative Music Conference in New York City this past July.

Karlo was actually the official photographer of the industry conference. A quality person, and truly gifted videographer and photographer, we’ll be showcasing just one of the great videos he has produced and directed with his company.

KX0101 Creative Arts is a digital production studio based In Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, which aims constantly to produce high quality content across different media scenarios. Their aproach is simple and flexible. They strive to make their clients look their best while mantaining a creative edge in their work.

Here is a glimpse of the quality work Karlo does with KX0101. Pretty soon we’ll be seeing  more from him and Los Petardos, as their next video is scheduled to come out very soon.

Los Petardos! Acabe Official Music video…

Director, Karlo X. Ramos’ reactions after making the Acabame Music video…

Im really happy with the outcome of the video. Honestly at times I thought: How the hell I’m going to cut this? Being that production was a bit chaotic, unscheduled, un-butgeted… you know a royal mess we even had people who literally ended up in the hospital. Nothing serious though.

Nevertheless with patience (and rum!) it turned out great. All post was done at Macoyo’s (Los Petardos!) beach house, mainly because i was moving to East Texas and most of my equipment was either shipped or in storage. Being able to work in such environment was key to the overall feel of the final cut.

The company, the beach, the food all the best the west coast of Puerto Rico has to offer, overall a great experience. Last but not least a couple of thank you’s are in order first to our friend Jason from El Negocio de Abuelo in Moca for the space. It’s important to say that Los Petardos! started there so it felt right to film in such a place.

Also to the talented Jessica Quintana for the wardrobe specially for the girls (“Jibaritas”) which were hand made (we didn’t know she could saw.) and the talent Yamy and Jennifer who beat the living crap out of the guys along with Jessica. On the camera side Riko Gonzalez from RGN Digital Imaging for being my right hand and my other eye, Cristina for the hair /make up and Alexis Perez for documenting.
