BET is launching a new series, (Rising Icons). The show focuses emerging talent, showcasing their music and their story.

Dv Depot sent out a crew to work on an episode with Hal Linton, an R&B/Soul artist. We followed him to recording sessions and concerts in New York for several days. Then we went to his hometown in Barbados to get a little of his history.

Luckily, we have lots of pictures from Barbados. Our camera operator, Alex Sierra, and our audio tech, Ethan Goldberger, trailed Hal for a few days and got to hang out with him at night. They had a great time. We love working with BET and hope to do more work on this exciting new show.

Hal Linton, the artist, bonded with Ethan Goldberger, our audio tech. The way they're lounging together, women might mistake Ethan for a musical artist and try to get to know him!

Hal Linton, on set in Barbados

As we’ve previously posted about, we’ve been working on “Rising Icons” for BET. “Rising Icons” is a great new show promoting new artists. We’ve had the opportunity to work on a few episodes now. The first we worked on, featuring Hal Linton, has premiered on BET already.

Apparently, the show worked with at least one girl who became obsessed with Hal after seeing the episode. She’s says his music makes her melt.

“Rising Icons” is a great production to work with. Our crew, including camera op Alex Sierra and audio tech Ethan Goldberger, got to spend a lot of time hanging out with Hal on their trip to Barbados and had a great time with him. You can see more pictures of the trip on our Flickr site.
