This is Only a Test

In preparation for my senior project at the Savannah College of Art and Design, I have been gathering footage of the members of Shut Up Sean having a grand ol' time in the parks and on the streets of Manhattan. The final product I'm aiming to produce will be stop motion photography juxtaposed with more "traditional" forms of animation. Here's a sampling of some stills.

Mob Mentality

In celebration of the release of their new EP, Delicious Cream, Long Island band Midnight Mob recently held a show at Vibe Lounge in Rockville Centre, NY, which was inevitably followed by an after party. Classifying themselves in a genre all their own, Mob describes themselves as being "Psychedelic Sex Rock," and exemplifies a creative enthusiasm that maintains itself long after the bars have closed all tabs. The above photos were taken during the aforementioned after party. Playful. Fun. Pretty bad ass.

Photographic Soundscape

Over the summer, I had the opportunity to photograph/write up Kelli's Bar and Grille in Bellmore, NY for the website Patch. I've included a link to the listing, as I can only recall having a nice experience speaking to the management and staff of the establishment.
Last night, Shut up Sean played a brief open mic set at Kelli's. This girl believes that they gave forth a stellar performance. Below is a selection of photographs I took, which I've, of course, taken the liberty of messing with a bit in Photoshop.
