Jonathan Rivera Demo Reel - Fall 2008 from Jonathan Rivera on Vimeo.



Last day of "Don't Sweat It" Season lll. I worked on this show for two full seasons as the assistant camera and on our last day, decided to capture a little bit of what it is we do on set. It may surprise you!



The Unspoken Ordinary is the first film I ever wrote that we shot while in school back in 2002. This is where the historic partneship between Anthony Carboni and myself formed. Since then, he and I started shooting and editing shorts for the web. Check them out at Evil Primate. If you like it, please show a little love and let us know by checking out the site and leaving a comment on our forums.

As of recently we've started a new web series dedicated solely to reviewing video games that you can download on various platforms. It's called Bytejacker and you can check us out on our page!

"November 21. 2006" is a 16mm short film that I shot and was directed by my good friend Henry Kim. It was screened in this years Staten Island Film Festival and was nominated for "Best Comedic Short" and "Best Short Film."


"November 21, 2006"

Movies

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm like the HUGEST Star Wars geek around but in the case of favorite movies I'd say the original trilogy b/f the prequels. Indiana Jones Trilogy, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Back to the Future Trilogy, The Shawshank Redemption, American Beauty, Road to Perdition, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (both), Man on Fire, Crimson Tide, Minority Report, Children of Men, Matchstick Men, Jaws, Gladiator, Oceans 11, Snatch, Lock Stock & 2 Smoking Barrells, Jurassic Park, X2, Spiderman, The 6th Sense, Signs, Juno, The Professional, The 5th Element, Se7en, Aliens, Enter the Dragon, Edward Scissorhands, Nightmare Before Christmas, Beetlejuice, Sleepy Hollow, Sweeney Todd, (of course anything by Tim Burton) Batman 1, 2, but more so the brilliant Christopher Nolan additions and totally excluding anything that Joel Schumacker ever considered and addition to the franchise!!

TelevisionI can't afford cable so I just have to go by what I can download!

Heroes all the way, no exceptions. Then of course there's . . .

and the only other that stands a chance of being just as good and that's:

Heroes

The Green Lantern

About me:
Here's a little experiment I tried in February of 2009 where I shot footage with my pocket cam every day no matter what. This kind of makes you think about your daily routines in a different light. The result is my February 2009 . . . . in 2 minutes. Enjoy!

I chose to remember the good times of 2007 in my new VLOG (Video Blog)!


My 2006-2007 VLOG (Video Blog) of friends, family and the places I've been.


RECIPE FOR JON:

- 1/2 Polock

- 1/2 Puerto Rican

- 1/3 cup of early pattern male baldness

- 3/4 cup of thinly sliced bacon bits

- 1 quart of milk for added thickness

and

- 24 years of basting.

The perfect way to describe me is through this kid because this is exactly how I'll raise mine some day!

New York City's been my home for 20 years now, with my early ones being in Florida. My pops moved us up here back in 87' to become the superintendent of our building in which we all still live and work to this day! We've been here for over 20 years now, where I've worked part time as a Doorman.

I graduated from Fiorello H. LaGuardia Highschool in 2001 majoring in Art. Here's a little memory of my last day:



Fiorello H. LaGuardia Class of 2001

Today, I'm a freelance camera operator and assistant camera operator working out of NYC. I live in Brooklyn with my highschool sweetie and happy to say FIANCE Jasmine, who's bared with me for the last 10 years.

I like my lifestyle, although a little more free time wouldn't hurt. Anyone who knows me doesn't really KNOW me because I'm never around :( Freelancer are always on the move. I used to work during the football season for NFL Films but have now begun to shoot. I occasionally do stuff for EvilPrimate.com, but haven't in a while cause of conflicting schedules.

Here's a couple related pages:

My YouTube page

My Facebook page

My Photobucket page

My Vimeo page

Here's one of my favorite project that I shot in 06' for CK's album "Perfect Disorder" that recently hit it big in Hong Kong.


CK Music Video

Who I'd like to meet:

People who check their emotional baggage at the door! As the great George Carlin said: "Stop Living in the Past!" I'm frustrated when people refuse to go out, take a chance and grow up. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about being a complete spaz once in a while but not as part of my permanent personality. I wanna hang out with people who have realistic goals and down to earth attitudes. Don't sell me on an idea of how you're gonna do something miraculous and never do it. Words can give hope, but actions actually speak. The worlds full of those who say they will, but how many ever do? If you're a do-er your an A+ in my book.

Nah, you know you made the right choice, you’re a follow your heart kinda guy. You’ve always been motivated, even back in the day when we were kids. And you are doing it.
That is so great, I’ll have to watch it!
