Any chance we get to work on “Rising Icons” is exciting. This past week, we worked with BET shooting an episode about new artist Melanie Fiona. Her music is a great blend of classic and modern R&B styles with soul and hip hop. Her first album, “The Bridge,” is being released on September 22nd.

We followed Melanie to her appearance on The Wendy Williams Show and then on to Robert Moses State Park on Long Island to shoot behind the scenes on her new music video for “It Kills Me.” It was a beautiful day and everything went smoothly.

Ethan Goldberger was on audio and dv Depot COO Pete Zappulla managed to sneak out of the office and shoot this project. It’s always exciting to see artists a little ahead of the curve and “Rising Icons” gives us that chance.
