"THE ANGELS"


Director: Joe Roberto

The Angels is a short documentary following Kaitlyn Darrow and her mother Elissa Darrow and their charity The Angels Community Outreach. After surviving domestic abuse and a house fire, the two decided to create a charity to aid others in similar situations.

GO DEEPER

When I learned about the incubator project I felt overwhelmed by the options, logistics, and deadlines. In the beginning of this internship I felt anxious even thinking about my project and I struggled with coming up with a unique idea. It was only after talking to my fellow interns and internship supervisors that I began to feel that this project was attainable for me. I was still without an idea until one of my supervisors suggested that I work with a local charity. As soon as he said those words the idea clicked in my head. I decided I wanted to do a documentary on Angels Community Outreach. I had donated to them in the past and they seemed like a great local charity to work with. When I began doing my research on the charity I discovered the story behind the founders. Learning that the Darrows were survivors of domestic abuse and house fire, and yet decided to start their own charity led me to realize how impactful their story was and how important it was to tell it. 

When I pitched it to Justin, I pitched it as a regular sit down interview with B’roll of the charity’s space and inventory. Justin pushed me to get more stylistic with this documentary. He recommended shooting the B’roll in slow motion (which was certainly the right decision). With these notes and approval from JTWO I began to plan for my shoot and where my first challenge showed up: scheduling. Getting in contact and arranging the shoot with Angels was difficult. My goal was to shoot before Thanksgiving but I wasn’t able just due to how busy the charity was as well as the hectic shooting schedules for my fellow interns’ projects. But eventually I was able to arrange a day to film the charity. 

When I began editing I found that the hardest part was deciding which soundbites to use and how to tie them together. That’s where the slow motion shots really shined. I utilized the slow motion shots with the emotional music as a transition between different questions. This effect I think really tied my project together.

By the end of this incubator project, I felt really confident and proud of what I was able to produce. This whole experience really taught me how to work with others and how to push myself further than I think I can go. Wherever I end up after this, I am confident that I will be able to handle it and make some pretty great things.

GO DEEPER

Starting this internship I honestly knew I had a passion for production and entertainment but honestly never really had any experience, especially anything hands on. While being here I feel as though I have learned what I’m good at and also things I needed to work on to be better and thrive within the industry. After two months I would definitely say I gained a ton of useful knowledge and experience within the field of production. Being from New Jersey traveling to this internship within the city everyday was a brand new experience for me. From the city atmosphere to the environment within the internship this has surely been a fresh new dope experience for me.

Looking back at it now there’s a couple things I realized I could have done differently. One thing I noticed within this field once you get to post production you realize how important filming in production is. Once you get to post production there is only so much you can do to make sure all your visuals and the color within the video are in order, which is why I wish I spent more time catching as many shots as I can while making sure each frame is appropiate. Doing so could have made post production more easier for me, I found myself not being pleased with shots in a few projects across the semester of this internship which could have been avoided within production.

Working within this environment made me so much more comfortable with the decision I made to pursue the field of production. Working together with different people to make entertainment and content shows you how others view the world and adapt their imagination to it. I believe interning here at Jtwo was the perfect bootcamp of production I needed to get my feet wet and comfortable. From the Intern Basement to the Green room this internship has definitely been very memorable for me. I will not forget the things I learned and the people I have met here.

"Startup Standup"


Director: Mark Milano

Startup Standup is a short documentary that looks to examine standup comedy as an art form and the reasons some dedicate their lives to pursuing it.

GO DEEPER

My incubator project is something I thought long and hard about. I wanted to document something that I truly cared about and for me it’s stand-up comedy. It’s something that connects the world, but the question that I wanted to answer was “Why do people do it, and how do they get started?”

It was awesome being able to talk to someone like Chip Chantry who has so much experience in the comedy industry. His insight really helped pull the film together and opened the door to explore so much more with our 2nd interviewee Sam Silverman. I really appreciated Sam’s openness and contribution to the film!

In terms of crafting the project, my pitch took many different turns. I think in many ways that is what I enjoyed so much about this project and documentary filmmaking as a whole. You never know what is going to happen while working through the process, but you have to keep going and continue to tell the stories that need to be heard.

The Incubator Project was a truly amazing experience. It was certainly a challenge, but I feel it was great preparation for what its like working in this industry. Learning the proper editing workflow and post production aspect is what I found to be the best aspect for my future projects and career. Very thankful for the experience!

JTWO teams up with Aveeno and Amp Agency for a Healthy Skin Education Campaign

At JTWO Films, we specialize in producing high-quality video content for our clients. We have teamed up with Aveeno and Amp Agency to bring attention to healthy skin education through a unique and interactive event. Our experienced video production team was on hand to document the event and bring its essence to life through stunning footage.

The event, which took place at the Amazon Hub on the University of Pennsylvania campus, was an engaging “Myth or Fact” pop-up experience. College students had the opportunity to test their skincare knowledge and dispel any misconceptions they may have had about their skincare routine. The interactive aspect of the event was key to keeping participants engaged and interested in learning more about healthy skin habits.

After completing the quiz, participants were rewarded with a complimentary sample of Aveeno Blemish Patches, giving them the chance to try the product for themselves. This partnership between JTWO Films, Aveeno, and Amp Agency highlights our commitment to producing impactful and educational video content that makes a difference. We believe that the stories we tell can connect us with our audiences and leave a lasting impact.

Design Team Launches Julio Rodriguez Collector's Pack


PROJECT DETAILS

At JTWO, we specialize in providing world-class video production services in Philadelphia. We recently had the opportunity to showcase our design expertise through a collaboration with MLB Rookie of the Year Julio Rodriguez and longtime creative partner, Victus Sports. The project was the creation of the Limited JROD HRD Autographed Collector’s Pack, which was a celebration of Julio Rodriguez’s outstanding performance at the 2022 Home Run Derby.

Our talented design team was responsible for bringing the vision to life, crafting everything from the Collector’s Box to the Artist Card and Authenticity Card. The design of the Collector’s Box was inspired by the graffiti design of the bat, and our team worked tirelessly to ensure that the packaging reflected the unique style and personality of Julio Rodriguez.

The Limited Edition Collector’s Pack retailed for $1000.00 each, with only 44 packs created. This exclusivity only added to the excitement surrounding the project, and within just 12 hours of its launch, all 44 packs had sold out. This success is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our design team, as well as the quality of the product they created.

In addition to the Collector’s Pack, our team also created social media advertisements for the project. We wanted to ensure that the launch of the Limited JROD HRD Autographed Collector’s Pack received the recognition it deserved, and our advertisements helped to build excitement and drive sales.

At JTWO, we believe in the power of design and its ability to bring a vision to life. Our team of experts is dedicated to providing clients with high-quality design solutions, and the success of this project is just one example of our commitment to excellence.

With a Z and a Q

When I was in the second or third grade… Well whenever Isaac Newton was first

introduced in school. Everyone always asked me why my name Izaiq was spelled with a z and a

Q and not the common way or how it is spelled in history. At this young age I never really

thought about it that much and honestly had zero answer. So later that day when I got home

after school I decided to find out. I wiggled into my parents bedroom before bed and asked them

why my name was spelled the way it is. My mom grabbed me and laid me on the bed next to my

father and told me that when I was born they knew I would be unique and be different from

everyone else, So they wanted to give me a name that would perfectly fit me. Since then that

really motivated me to be more creative and outside the box as a person in my own unique way.

When I was young everytime my dad asked me what I wanted to be when I’m an adult, I

always told him I wanted to be a lawyer. Since I spent so much time watching television and

every genre of movie I could get access to that didn’t happen. Growing up usually kids after

school participated in after school programs or played sports. Nope not me I was going home

trying to consume every form of visual entertainment I could find on the internet or any DVDs

around the house, If I couldn’t find a good movie to watch it was always a tv series as my

backup form of entertainment and if I couldn’t find another good tv series then my last resort

was always youtube. For some reason growing up as a kid I was just a huge fan of

entertainment and anything that was visually different from my typical day to day reality. The

things people were creating from scratch with the help of their imagination just always amazed

me.

So what brings me here ? When I first started college at Rowan University I spent my

first two years as a Communications major. I figured since I was also a huge fan of pop culture

music and streetwear fashion I could find a way to try to fit myself into that field since

communication is just so broad, that all changed towards the second semester of my

sophomore year. After the fall semester ended an alumni from my fraternity who happened to

work for Ellen DeGeneres at the time reached out to us looking for production assistance to help

him out with a Christmas special episode for the show. Me and a friend of mine decided to give

it a go and being behind the scenes of production while also appearing on live tv was a whole

new experience for me and the push I needed to make the switch from communications to

Radio Tv and Film. Typically people within this major or film industry start out within high school.

I felt as though starting the second semester of my sophomore year I have a lot of catching up

to do. So since then I really been focused on learning as much as I can within the production of

film and media and Grateful for the opportunity JTWO has given me to stretch my creative mind

and get my feet wet within the industry of production.

Growing up in South Philadelphia has truly shaped who I am. I come from a small Italian American family, with a tight knit bond. As a young child I spent most of my days in my parents shoe store on Passyunk avenue. Learning to have an entrepreneurial spirit. When I wasn’t there I would spend my time with my grandparents or my aunt. My grandfather was a professional artist for over 50 years. My creative eye can certainly be attributed to the time I spent with him in his studio. I think it’s important to take the lessons my family taught me and follow them because they all worked so hard to give me a great life. I owe it to them.

I wish I could say I picked up a camera at a young age and never put it back down. But It wasn’t until high school when I picked up a camera for the first time and found my passion. At the time, I thought film and video production only consisted of Hollywood films and TV commercials. As I’ve matured I’ve learned to have a love for the avantgarde and film essays from that era. I think there is something so beautiful within cinematic exploration. The moments where you aren’t too sure where a piece may take you but you keep going anyway. I love films that are up for interpretation, where only the directors themselves know the deeper meaning. These films mean so much to me because they are a reflection of the lives of those producing them. These are the types of films I look to produce for all those reasons. It is such a beautiful medium for self expression.   

After high school I began attending Temple University for Film and Media Arts. I have loved my time there, as well as the ability to network with like minded people who have a passion for film and creating art. I can’t say I know exactly where the future will take me in the film industry. There are so many different avenues I see myself going down. Sometimes this is certainly a scary thought but at other times it is what excites me the most. I think it’s important to try and learn as much as possible and leave no stone unturned because there are so many important jobs in this field.

I know one thing is true, as long as I am creating films that tell great stories and move people, I will be happy. I think interning at JTWO is a great place to be and I am so excited and eager to learn as much as I can from everyone here.

Growing up most kids spend their afternoons playing baseball, soccer, basketball, or some other sport. My friends and I were not like most kids in the sense that we spent our afternoons making “movies” instead of playing sports. One Christmas morning I was given a little video camera, and I was hooked.  I would bring it over to my friend’s house and we would use it to create stories of epic proportions with brave heroes, evil villains, and tons of action. While we were too young to actually figure out how to edit, we were nonetheless passionate. As we grew up we began to stop making movies as it became boring especially if we could not actually watch them. This all changed once we got to high school. 

The first day of high school I walked into my final class of the day called media. I didn’t know it at the time but my life was about to change for the better. This class taught my friends and I all the skills we needed to make actual video content. As soon as we were able to write, direct, shoot, and edit an entire video we were hooked. We found ourselves spending as much time as possible in our media classroom and with our teachers in an attempt to learn as much as we could. We each began to develop our skills and push each other to create the biggest and best videos we could. 

When it was time for graduation some friends pursued work in other fields, and some pursued film. I felt unsure about what I wanted to do and so I decided to go to Immaculata University without declaring a major. Within the first five minutes of my intro to biology class it hit me that if I continued on this road I would never write, shoot, or edit a video ever again. That thought drove me to see an advisor, and by the end of the day I had declared myself an Interactive Digital Media major. From that moment on I looked for any and every opportunity to make videos. I began to shoot videos of almost anything happening on campus. I soon became the go-to video guy on campus for the next four years. 

Upon graduation, I knew I wanted to continue to expose myself to different areas in production until I am able to find what I like best. I was so excited when I found JTWO and saw the type of environment they foster as they work. I am ecstatic to continue to grow my skills while interning here.
