Brian Friedman Enlists Sikora For BSBF

Dancer and choreographer, Brian Friedman has created the choreography for many popular music artists – such as Britney Spears, Cher, Beyoncé Knowles and Mariah Carey – as well as for music videos, concert tours and television and film productions. Now he is taking on the fashion world with his new line of clothing for dancers BSBF (Brian Says Be Free).

BSBF shot two music videos, one for the teen line and the other adult. Each video features some well known and popular dancers around the world wearing the clothing.

With his direction, Brian enlisted Sikora Entertainment to handle the post production for the two music videos that promote the line of clothing. The concept was to be edgy, sexy and insane.

“I took on the project, there was tons of footage to sort through featuring amazing dancers, literally over an hour of nonstop dancing footage I had to cut down to 3 minutes. After that, we started on effects, giving it a ghostly, psychotic feel to it as the music progressed. I think we nailed it.” Sikora said.

The Return of Tyler Jacob

It has been quite a while since Tyler Jacob released a video on YouTube, with his fan based used to seeing videos filmed on his webcam, his return had to be anything but small. He chose to cover the Sam Smith song “Stay With Me” and we were excited to finally help bring him back to the world of music.

The vision was to shoot a raw film looking video complete with sun flares and damaged film effects, the end product fit the rising star’s emotional voice.

“We were set on making sure his return was a full fledged production, there is a lot of talent  in Tyler Jacob and we wanted to make sure the video reflected that, I refused him to release anymore webcam videos, so obviously we had to development the concept much more.  Tyler was ready to shine, the vocals stand strong alone, we really wanted to deliver a great full package to his fans” Director William Sikora said.
