RA Creations 2009

2009-01-24T11:58:00.000-08:00

A new year has come, a new look was born & new faces have joined. With the help of our two new family associates, Cesar & Eliza Aguilar, we have established a new logo for RA Creations. One that has true meaning and captures the artistic simplicity of our beautiful work; showing off two important letters, the "r" and the "a". We would like to thank Cesar & Eliza for all the hard work they have put in so far in making this creative organization a success & we look forward in seeing what else they can produce for the "r" & the "a".

"Crash" Christy & Adam's Music Video

2008-09-25T11:17:00.000-07:00

This is our new little creative piece of art that we put at the end of a wedding video that we finished for our two friends, Christy & Adam. Christy’s favorite band, “Dave Matthews Band”, was one of our first choices when I had the idea of combining a video at the end of the wedding DVD, capturing the most important highlights of that day much like we did with “Jade’s Quince” incorporating the “Nightmare Before Christmas” . We will continue to focus "INSIDE THE BOX" rather than out as we try to represent our name the way it should be achieving new projects every day.

"This is Jade's Quinceanera"

2008-08-19T23:14:00.000-07:00

What's this? What's this? Is this what I think it is? Yes! The Quinceanera Before Halloween & Christmas that took place this June. We have just completed our first movie theme Quince, introducing "Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas," and collaborating a traditional Mexican Celebration with a dark, classical claymation from the early 90's. My wife and I had so much fun creating this memorable event. Check out the video clip:

RA Creations creatively teamed up with 91X last week to make fun of our good old Paris Hilton. Chris Cantore published an audio track on the radio last tuesday, placing Paris in an old 1983 trailer called 'Chained Heat'. RA Creations took that audio track and gave it some life.Click here or on the picture to view the trailer and laugh out loud...

Summer Fling

2007-05-30T21:14:00.001-07:00

Summer love what
a thing, it comes and
goes leaving you with
a summer fling.

It's happy and fun till
summer ends leaving you
sad. Say your goodbye's
and give your kisses now
because it's only a sumer fling.

Till summer rolls around again
your left with a summer love that
was only a simple summer fling.

(Alissa Marie Unknown)

Hotel Del

2007-03-24T10:53:00.000-07:00

Here are the wonders that we captured at the Day-Sanchez celebration at the Hotel Del in Coronado. If you are a Bride or Groom to be, San Diego is the place were the dreams come true...

Time

2007-01-01T23:38:00.000-08:00

Well, I'm finally back to business. My wedding was wonderful. It was filled with love, happiness, & family. Nothing more than what I can ever ask for. But I must now get back to work and keep up with improving my projects for this new year. 2007 will bring RA Creations into a whole new prospective.
Time is fragile & short. Lets use it wisely. Lets care of it. Let's feed it with creativity and love for it will soon be history...

Can You Go Pro Del Mar?

2006-07-04T09:18:00.000-07:00

We continued the Bulls Eye BBQ "Can You GO PRO" Tour & ask people why the where the BIGGEST BOLDEST BBQ'ers on the block at the San Diego County Fair. We ended up capturing a few characters along the way.

Can You Go Pro Solana?

2006-06-05T08:07:00.000-07:00

Can Solana Beach, California Go Pro? RA Creations was invited to the Bulls Eye BBQ promotional tent to ask people 'why they where the BIGGEST BOLDES BBQ'ers around'. The responses where amazing as Karate Q demonstrated for us that day.

Gone with Kaila

2006-05-20T08:58:00.000-07:00

Kaila Marie LaBarbera celebrated her beautiful Quinceanera with family & friends. Her desired theme was 'Gone With The Wind'. Her years grow fast & pass by as Kaila becomes a young lady & her life blows along, going with the wind.

Latino Mayor

2006-04-29T08:49:00.000-07:00

LA's New Latino Mayor (Antonio Villaraigosa) came to San Diego at La Costa Resort & Spa to commemorate his life and his success as the new man in-charge. RA Creations was there to capture the moment...

Jaffe Bat-Mitzvah (בת מצוה)

2006-03-02T11:46:00.000-08:00

RA Creations introduces it's first Bat Mitzvah(בת מצוה)celebrating it with Lindsey Jaffe & her family. A wonderful, one of a kind celebration where this young Jewish girl is ready to over take the responsibilities of becoming the daughter of the commandment.

Eye of A Tiger

2006-03-02T11:16:00.000-08:00

The Tiger Woods Welcome Dinner was an extraordinary event, as it was healed once again and for the last time at La Costa Resort and Spa. The PGA Tournament will no longer be in San Diego, as it moves to Phoenix, Arizona for next year. Capturing moments like these gives me a good and closer look at the eye of the Tiger be he disappears.

I Love NY

2006-01-20T15:47:00.000-08:00

Gloria & Lorna set off on an adventure to New York in 2004. RA Creations was kind enough to recapture that treasured memory and digitize it onto a DVD. A 4 hour tour with sights, sounds, & NY glamour.

2006

2006-01-01T00:00:00.000-08:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR.... Hope everyone has a happy and healthy fresh year. I hope fun & exiting projects await for RA Creations...

Good News

2005-11-21T14:20:00.001-08:00

Last night was closing night for the highlighted play at Chula Vista High; "Good News". This 1947 play that takes place at fictitious Tait University in the Roaring 20's, with a co-ed and school librarian Connie Lane who falls for football hero Tommy Marlowe. Unfortunately, he has his eye on gold-digging vamp Pat McClellan who is played by Angelica Alamo (picture on top). Tommy's grades start to slip, which keeps him from playing in the big game. Connie eventually finds out Tommy really loves her and devises a plan to win him back and to get him back on the field.
Angelica gives quite the performance to have been captured by my camera. I hope to see more talent out her in the near future, but till then,click hereto see the sample.

Nip Tuck

2005-11-11T16:38:00.000-08:00

At La Costa Resort & Spa I was able to get a first time look at a real cosmetic surgery. This 50 year old woman wanted to get her wrinkles reduced for a younger look and was a live study subject for a hotel meeting.
This meeting had a live surgery behind the drape with a projected screen were cosmetic sergeants analyzed the procedure as I videotaped the process.
Internet footage coming soon...

The VocAlamo Wedding

2005-11-09T10:36:00.000-08:00

It's been two months now since I got engaged with the girl that I decided to spend my life with. Marcia. On September 9th 2005 I gave her a DVD and in this DVD it held moving images of us and our four years spent together. With songs by, Usher "you remind me", Shaggy "angel", & our soon to be wedding song featuring Do "heaven" from the candlelight Sep. 11 Remix, Marcia was asked the BIG QUESTION at the end of the DVD with four simple words artistically placed together with Live Type & Final Cut that read: "Will You Marry Me".
The Answer was Yes.
Never would I have imagined creating an artistic piece for the girl that I love. Click on the DVD image to view the big question.

The Creator

2005-11-01T18:20:00.000-08:00

Welcome my fellow citizens. My name is Ruben R. Alamo. My mission is to give joy, inspiration, and entertainment; providing those who admire the satisfaction of artistic video and the comfort of family memories. Video as well as photography has been in my life since day one. Using my dads new sony high 8 camera at the age of twelve, presented and guided me to my future path in life. In school, I was always involved with video technology and developed a memorable 'Senior Graduation Montage' that brought tears to many and gave me the final decision on my future goals. I studied the fundamentals of Videography and design at the Art Institute of Santa Monica. There I produced my first thesis film where I received an achieving award of 'Best Comedy and Scripted film of the year'. After receiving my degree, I began to film events and decided to start my very own business using a name that was never lost from childhood. RA Creations was the name I kept and the name that will live by my side for I am the creator.
