Brandon ‘Knowbody’ Greathouse – dance choreographer

Brandon Greathouse, or Knowbody, as he is known through his dance, music and other artistic outlets, is a man who sweats talent.  Having spent a lifetime pushing to perfect the control of his own body’s movement, and never stopping growth in such, he expresses the rhythms he naturally feels through his total being.  Whether by Hip-Hop dance, graphic design or music creation, Knowbody can’t help but give the world his beat-entranced gifts.

If there is one area Knowbody feels just as passionate about as music and dance, it is giving back/guiding youth.  Lucky for him, he has made a career out of teaching children and young adults of all ages in the ways of bodily movement, always pushing his students to give the world their all and never to shy away from the rhythm.  Truly, he has found a positive road for anyone to jump on and take a ride in order to reach new levels of self confidence, happiness, expression and personal worth.  What a way to bring people together….all while doing what he loves and keeping to who he is and what he believes!

Just a few of Knowbody’s other accolades include heading up the Sacramento Kings Breakerz, having led competitive teams to try out for MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew and having started several successful competition dance crews, including Huemen, Kool Krush Krew and the Academy of Thugs.  Without a doubt, you can find Mr. Greathouse at a dance battle near you.  He is well known for his fierce style and flare throughout the country’s Hip-Hop dance scenes.

Having served as the choreographer for Fight 4 Your Life‘s mysterious Ghost Crew and lead actor Brandon J. Woods, as well as having acted as the original Ghost Crew Leader in the F4YL short, which the feature stemmed from, Knowbody has been a huge part of this project from day one.  We know nobody 🙂 would have given the continued time and energy he has for F4YL and we are eternally grateful for his efforts and support.  It is the one studios crew’s greatest honor to have him aboard.  And we look forward to supporting his constantly evolving endeavors in the years to come!

Please check out Knowbody’s many social media sites for more info on him and his dance school, Greathouse of Dance.  You won’t be sorry!  Links are below.  But first, peep this awesome video starring Knowbody himself…

F4YL “Intro” Teaser Trailer (Feature Film) (VIDEO)

This is the first official teaser trailer of Fight 4 Your Life, the feature film debut from one studios.  Unlike trailers in the past, which have used footage from the short film version of F4YL, from which the F4YL feature stems, this is the first trailer that uses all actual footage from the upcoming full length film.  We hope you enjoy and are intrigued.  That’s what a teaser is meant to do!

 

 

Our goal with this trailer is to gain curiosity about our humble project here, as we realize there is much left to mystery even after watching it.  That’s the point amigos.  Teased yet?  😉

Keep your eyes peeled for more trailers in the near future, including the full length theatrical trailer, which will go into more depth about the film’s story and such.  For more info on F4YL be sure to check out the plethora of resources on this site.  Read up on character descriptions, cast and crew bios, the film’s plot, it’s origins and journey and more.  There’s also lots of awesome media for you to view and listen to.  Heck, there’s even free downloads for your enjoyment!

Ok, enough blabbing.  Here’s the trailer.  You can also view the “Running” teaser trailer, made from footage of the short film version of F4YL, HERE.  It might be fun to compare and contrast the two.

FIGHT!!!

Supporters, friends, colleagues and all of the above, we are proud to announce the release of the first official teaser trailer for the feature length version of Fight 4 Your Life!  Is it a coincidence that the launch of this trailer falls near the birthday of Fleet Blackwood himself, Mr. Brandon J. Woods???  Nope.  No coincidence at all.  🙂  Happy BDay Mr. Woods!

Another Set of Shoots Down!

Happy New Year everyone!  We truly hope your holiday season was a fantastic time, spent with all of your loved ones.

The one studios crew has been working diligently to ensure Fight 4 Your Life stays true to its course.  The holidays may have been upon us, but we continued to push!  From January 1st through January 5th we had F4YL star Brandon J. Woods back from the east coast, where he is attending the Harvard School of Medicine, to shoot a string of scenes.  The shoots went great!  And it was awesome to have Brandon, aka Fleet Blackwood, back on set.

As we progress into 2014….WOW…..one studios will be shooting further scenes/shots without Mr. Woods during the months of January, February and March.  Our teenage Fleet, Antonio Mulqueeney, will be taking the reins for several of these shoots.  Wish him luck!

In addition to these shoots, we will be preparing with much vigor for having Brandon back in the spring for his final shoots, which happen to be the final scenes that will be needed for Fight 4 Your Life‘s completion!!!  Exciting news indeed!  We can’t wait to finish, but we are taking in every moment of this journey.  It’s priceless.  And we have some great stuff coming for you to check out over the coming months to show our progress….one being the first official teaser trailer for F4YL!!!

Thank you, as always, to everyone involved throughout this strenuous process.  And for those that are not directly involved, thank you for your support!  Fight 4 Your Life would not be possible without each and every one of you.  A very special thanks to all of the location providers for this past week’s shoots:

Jabari Timmons

Jabari Timmons, aka KidWow, began dancing at the young age of 6 years old.  He has been trained in contemporary, jazz, lyrical, modern, tap, krump, popping, locking, break dance, Tahitian and ballet at Studio T Urban Dance Academy and The Greathouse of Dance.  Just a couple of Jabari’s accomplishments include dancing in Carnival in Los Angeles and performing with recording artist Zendaya Coleman from the Disney channel show “Shake It Up”.

KidWow is constantly on the move, learning and pushing himself to new heights.  But he doesn’t just limit himself to himself.  Jabari gives back to his dance community by sharing his knowledge of dance in the Sacramento area, teaching at schools such as Antelope High, Del Oro High, Woodcreek High and more.  He also teaches at Brandon ‘Knowbody’ Greathouse’s The Greathouse of Dance, where he participates in several of the dance school’s competitive dance teams as well.

Jabari’s rhythmic contributions to Fight 4 Your Life are very much appreciated.  His moves are sure to light up any screen!  We thank Jabari for his hard work and look forward to more collaborations in the future.  He’s a diligent and talented artist with a bright road ahead.

Ghost Crew Leader

Ghost Crew Leader

Ghost Crew Leader

Mysterious and silent, little is known about this ghostly figure.  Like a campfire story he has become, mythical and spooky.  Urban children get chills at the mentioning of him, a sort of modern day Grimm fairy tale.

For what is known, the account is always the same…….as the Pied Piper has his flute, so does this being have the rhythm of his body, beckoning those that might come across his path, magically enticing with flow and style.  There is no limit to his expression.  There is no pattern to the beats of his body.  It is as though his movements are endless and hypnotic, putting those near him in a deep trance…..and this is where the story of the one called the Ghost Crew Leader takes an unfortunate turn for those souls that stumble upon him.

No face can be described by those that he has visited.  No voice has been heard by those that have paid witness.  But the inner music he projects is powerful and other worldly.  It is said you cannot resist his flare.  And wherever there has been reported a sighting of this eery specter, so too has there been with him a crew of following spirits.

His Ghost Crew follows him throughout the darkness of the night.  As if a collective of one mind and soul, an extension of the Ghost Crew Leader himself, the group of mischievous beings have been said to plague the streets few embark on in the weary hours of the moon’s shadows.  They glide throughout the urban sprawl, searching for their leader’s next battle for entrapment.

Tales of how this haunting presence has built his crew are things of nightmares.  Many people believe they are the disappeared victims of his cryptic web.  He feeds from their life energy, empowering his essence and absorbing them into his being, controlling them, for they are now him.

It is not known where exactly one might run into the Ghost Crew and its leader, nor when.  But if you are alone, drifting through the streets, accompanied only by the blackness around you, and you hear music……run.  For the few that have escaped have done just that….aside from one.

One woman is known to have survived her supposed encounter with the Ghost Crew.  Legendary, she now teaches dance at an after school program for underprivileged youth, driven to spread the knowledge of the dancing arts.  Never one with words, she has been mute since a babe.  Only through her bodily movement and expression does she talk.  Only to her own song does she dance.  In this independent wisdom lays the key to her survival.

Fleet has never met this woman…..if only he had.
