Syndrome - Musiq Soulchild "RADIO" Premiere

This joint is hot! Great job from Mars, Micah and James of Syndrome.

Syndrome - Upcoming Gallery Show!

First and foremost, here at Robot we consider ourselves artists. Robot directing team SYNDROME is putting on an art show next month here in Los Angeles and I know they'd love to get as many 'bot fans out to see their art.  The show is entitled "I Learned It By Watching You!" and is gonna be wicked cool.

The show is SATURDAY September 6th at Crewest Gallery 110 Winston Street, Los Angeles, 90013.  Log onto the site for the show HERE and get all the latest and greatest info on the show, their limited edition toy, and all the latest and greatest as they prep.  The 'bot is down with the 'drome!

Syndrome - Production UPDATE

The boys from Syndrome (James Larese, Micah Hancock, Mars Sandoval) have been super-busy on the Robot video front!  Putting together a nice month.

In addition to celebrating their MTV VMA nomination for Danity Kane "Damaged", they are in various stages of production on some hot music video work:

T-Pain featuring Lil' Wayne "Can't Believe It" is in the final stages of tweaking.  We'll get you a look as soon as we are allowed.

Syndrome recently shot a video with Musiq Soulchild "Radio" on July 20 on stages in fabulous North Hollywood.  The early cuts for this look sick!  The art direction from Benji Bamps is not the usual.  Syndrome pulled out all the stops!  Coming soon, soon, soon...

Don't forget Kaz James "We Hold On" shot on July 25 in a secret Los Angeles location (high in the hills, my friend, high in the hills).   Syndrome and producer Billy Parks pulled together a wicked shoot, logistically tough, stylistically fresh.  Look for this one as well soon, soon, soon.

Rumor has it that the boys may be heading to Miami in the not so distant future...

C-Rob - Ne-Yo "Miss Independent" Shoot

Robot founder Chris Robinson and the 'bot crew hit the mean streets of Santa Monica for the Ne-Yo "Miss Independent" shoot. The video was filmed on Monday August 11 and featured cameos by 'bot fav Lauren London, Gabrielle Union, and Kerri Hilson.

The piece is gonna look hot. The location was absolutely cutting edge ("don't sit on that chair!") and the cast was outrageous. Thanks as always to the Robot A-crew for pulling out all the stops:
