Having spent six years covered in paint as the Art Department manager of Tower Records, the formation of MyGoodEye continues his melding of music and art. David and MyGoodEye have now produced, edited and have lent animation to nearly 150 music videos in the two years and change since he hocked everything and got started.
David has covered a lot of ground. An award winning documentary editor, an indie filmmaker, an illustrator (both by hand and digital), an animator, a print designer, a DVD author and even a web designer. Even used to sing in a few bands. And no, you can't hear the old CDs... well, maybe if you ask nicely.
Entering the directing/producing arena, David has put himself behind the camera (so to speak) for videos such as GOD FORBID, DIECAST, THE STREET DRUM CORP f/ BERT McCRACKEN (of the USED), THE SMASHUP, THE RED CHORD, E-TOWN CONCRETE, SCARS OF TOMORROW, ALL THAT REMAINS, REMEMBERING NEVER and a slew of others... all of which (shameless plug) can be seen on our website (www.mgenyc.com) in the Music Video section.
In 2004, MyGoodEye was honored with 8 nominations for HEADBANGER'S BALL : Best of 2004. In 2005, we slipped to seven, but notably 3 of the 7 were directed and edited by David. We're hoping that's a step in the right direction. In 2006, MGE went up to FOUR nominations. 2007 turned out to be a banner year as David earned NINE nominations and WON THREE Best Music Video of 2007 Awards!
David currently is wildly head over heels for a woman named Allison. A woman he is completely convinced IS the perfect compliment for his brand of lunacy. He smiles while thinking about her and he just can't seem to stop. You should see him, it's ridiculous.
Oliver had hoped to find a rich wife in college that would support him. Instead he found himself alone and in debt, so he took up a job as a manservant in a local New York music management office. While the glamour of faxing, filing, copying, and answering phones did arouse Oliver sexually, mentally it just wasn't stimulating him enough, so he decided to take a chance on love and join the My Good Eye family.
Oliver has been playing Bass and Guitar for 8 years and is currently the bassist for New York's own Kervin and also loves going to shows and meeting new bands. (note: Oliver is NOT a groupie). Although he is not a groupie, Oliver is still available to tend to any needs clients may have while dealing with My Good Eye, he is here to make sure that while everyone ends up WANTING the beat the living piss out of each other with baseball bats, they only use the foam ones he keeps safely locked up in his office. To sum it all up, Oliver loves all people as if they were his own children, and isn't afraid to dress in crush velvet.
With a background in broadcast television news, Aris brings his expert eye for narrative and precision. Able to write and produce a spot, shoot it, and then edit it, we sometimes wonder what he'll leave the rest of us to do. Aris shoots regularly for Telemundo here in New York City.
Additionally, he has been working with Scarlett on the soon to be released Out-Of-The-Box Music Vision vending system. Recently, Aris completed work as co-editor of the SUPERJOINT RITUAL LIVE AT CBGB DVD for SANCTUARY MUSIC which was directed by DENISE KORYCKI of FUSE TV. Aris has also produced a number of music videos recently and is alway looking to expand his repertoire.
Coming to us via the frozen tundra of Buffalo, NY, Erik came to the Big Apple seeking to get a foothold in the music video business. As it happens, he's got one heck of a knack for it. As a musician and video director, Erik's love of music and eye for editing has made him an invaluable asset to MyGoodEye. Erik's recent projects include directing the feature length dvd TOUR IS HELL for Eulogy Records as well as the debut music videos from THE JUDAS CRADLE and THE WARRIORS. He has also edited for ANTHRAX, GWAR, MISERY SIGNALS, PIG DESTROYER and UNEARTH, among others.
It's tough to peg Evan as any one thing other than unique. He has the tendency to surprise the hell out of us with insight while simultaineously charming with his boyish demeanor. Generally, a conversation with Evan is vastly more entertaining than you'd expect.
Finding his way to New York City via Utah and Ohio, we are pleased to have him on board to lend his style to a variety of projects. Recently, Evan has worked with us on a project for PROCTER AND GAMBLE as well as cutting CAM'RON, KOTTONMOUTH KINGS, AUGUST BURNS RED, DANNY DIABLO and a number of others.
SASHA GOMELSKAYA : Sidekick and Drinking Buddy{ contact sasha
Born in St Petersburg, Russia, Sasha moved to NYC in 1993. After nine years of art and music lessons, she has taken up interest in graphic design and video editing in hopes of combining her talents and interests in the career of her dreams. The opportunity has finally presented itself when she has joined the MyGoodEye team as a graphic designer/editor. More importantly, she has joined David and company on numerous recent drinking binges, a bunch of shows and more than a couple of video shoots.
Sasha's most recent work includes the AGENTS OF MAN : WITHOUT A TRACE and DANNY DIABLO : UNDER THE GUN music videos. She has also assisted in editing a music video for AUGUST BURNS RED.
WE WORK 'WITH' AND 'FOR' YOU. Not 'in spite of' you.
THIS IS YOUR BAND AND YOUR VISION... your project and your careers... we're here FOR you.
WE AIM TO BRING VISUAL LIFE TO YOUR SONG and strive to create FOR the music as opposed to against it. By loving your music and attempting to understand it rather than slapping the same old shit together, rehashing the same shots and the same stories, then collecting the paycheck and moving along.
WE BELIEVE THAT IT ISN'T ONLY THE MEDIA A VIDEO IS SHOT ON that makes a good video. Great videos have been shot on crappy little DV cameras and crappy videos have been shot on great, big, expensive 35MM cameras.
OF COURSE WE USE HIGH-QUALITY, PROFESSIONAL GEAR, but quality, by our way of thinking, is gotten from respecting the artist, their vision and who they are as individuals - then contributing to it visually and professionally using our expertise and creativity to enhance your expertise and creativity.
PERSONALLY, I'VE DIRECTED OVER 50 MUSIC VIDEOS and done post-work/editing on all of those. Under the MGE flag, we've done post work on over 150 more and handled all manner of multicamera, documentary, corporate and commercial work since our inception a few years back. Our work has been all over the television and internet.
WE DON'T FARM OUR WORK OR MAKE CLAIMS WE CAN'T SUPPORT, 'cause we DO our work. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
WANT TO SEE OUR CREDIT LIST? We're not shy about our work and we don't want any confusion about what we did or didn't do, so we posted a mostly complete listing on our website. Click here and a new window will open...
BESIDES INCREDIBLE SUCCESS FOR YOU AND YOUR BAND, the best results that we can hope for is you coming away from the working experience with us with a feeling of "yes, those folks really understand what we are trying to say" and a product that we are all so proud of that we'll watch it 100 times and still say "Cool."
- Brodsky
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone and everyone. Music lovers. Filmmakers. Artists. The walking wounded. Greg Dulli 'cause that man can bleed...

Congratulations on the multiple awards (a belated salutation, but posted none the less) Your video for Through the Eyes of the Dead, was my first pro shoot and the most fun i've ever had. This small but thrilling notoriaty, has made me a zombie death metal god to my younger brother and his friends , plus my brother is now filming his own zombie flick. Whew a very long post, but i felt the need to express my gratitude for the experience and the check that said zombie on it (i have a copy on my wall). wrapping in up now, thank you and ( you know this was coming) please think of me in the future for zombies, vampires, gouls, ghosts, drug addicts, mentally unstable, and victim # ect. I am chagrined and bewielderd at life, hope you are as well, and may the (belated again) luck of the Irish be with you and Guinness flow freely in your life.
