After documenting the recent Northeast snow storm through video, Hurricane Productions will continue to produce original content on CNN’s iReport channel.
Using the CNN network gives Hurricane Productions the ability to reach a national and international audience.
The first video, “Northeast snow storm doesn’t stop NJ DJ company” reaches an audience much larger than people just interested in New Jersey DJ entertainment or private parties.
“We’re entertainers but we’re also part of a community,” Hurricane Productions president Vincent Anthony said. “There are events that we’re apart of in New Jersey that are of interest to a much larger audience across the country and around the world.”
Adding CNN iReport to its network extends Hurricane Productions’ reach across a variety of social media platforms.
Hurricane Productions distributes original content on popular sites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and NJ.com (The Star-Ledger).
Hurricane Productions will donate time and entertainment to the the New York City Housing Authority’s “Season of Sharing” – the department’s annual toy drive.
“Any cause or function that helps children is always high on our priority list,” said Hurricane Productions president Vincent Anthony. “Every entertainment company should find an event and give back to the community during the holiday season.”
The Annual Holiday Toy Drive is an opportunity for approximately 600 NYCHA resident children to celebrate the holiday season with donated toys (from Century 21 Department Stores, NY Giants, NY Knicks and Toys for Tots), refreshments (provided by Maramont Corp), and photo opportunities with Santa Claus (Community Coordinator Cornell Hampton). Other family entertainment will be provided by the Big Apple Circus, Agostino Arts Face Painters, The Lion Dancers Group, and The New York Chinese Free Mason Athletic Club.
Dance Marathon is a 32-hour event that raises money and awareness for the Embrace Kids Foundation located in New Brunswick, NJ. It is New Jersey’s largest student-run philanthropic event.
Vincent Anthony, Eddie “DJ N9NE” Romani, and Dom Lalima entertained Erica’s Sweet 16 at Sterling Gardens in Matawan NJ on December 11th, 2009.
The day after the party Erica’s Mother, Gloria, sent us this email regarding our performance quality at her daughter’s Sweet Sixteen:
Thank you so much for a great job! I had no doubt that you would make Erica’s night the best it could be. I received so many compliments from the adults at the party about you and your company.
My older daughter remembers you from [St. John Vianney High School] and had only the nicest things to say about you, Thank you again for everything, as I told you when we met that I have never planned a party like this before and with your experience and help it made it possible for me to enjoy my daughter’s special night.
Sweet Sixteen entertainers Vincent Anthony, DJ Strato, and Dom Lalima entertained Jessie Kidd’s Sweet 16 at Ocean Place in Long Branch, NJ on Saturday Nov 21, 2009. This Sweet Sixteen was special because we had the rare opportunity of producing a Sweet 16 on the actual night of the guest of honor’s birthday.
Jessie’s birthday was on Sunday, Nov 22nd so at ten-seconds before midnight, Hurricane Productions displayed a countdown on their two LCD Flat Screens. When the counter reached zero, and midnight struck, everyone contributed to a synchronous “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” which elevated the energy in the room and led us smoothly into our final set of the evening.
Nicole and her friends had a great time dancing to all their favorite music including songs from The Black Eyed Peas, Akon, Lil’ Wayne, Cascada and more. After a few sets of dancing, things slowed down as the Sweet Sixteen moved toward dinner.
As the Sweet 16 transitioned into dinner, the mood shifted from an upbeat club-atmosphere to a close-knit family gathering as Hurricane Productions presented a video montage highlighting some of the most important moments Nicole has experienced throughout her life.
Hurricane Productions, official DJ company of the Rutgers Alumni Association, Rutgers Student Life and other campus organizations provided entertainment for this year’s Homecoming festivities located at the Scarlet Square outside of Rutgers Stadium in Piscataway, NJ.
A two-minute wing bowl and “Craziest Scarlet Knight fan” competitions highlighted the afternoon.
“It was great to come back to Rutgers University to see old friends and make new ones too,” said Hurricane Productions owner and Rutgers College (Class of 2009) alumnus Vincent Anthony said. “I always look forward to any events at Rutgers.”
You can view over 60 pictures from the Homecoming event on the Hurricane Productions Facebook fan page.
Aside from the Homecoming festivities outside of Rutgers Stadium, there was a football game being played, too. Rutgers football defeated Texas Southern 42-0. You can read complete coverage from the game via the Star-Ledger on it’s Rutgers football home page.
That same weekend, the NJ DJ company provided sound and music for a charity event at Buccleuch Park in New Brunswick, NJ. St. Peter’s Hospital “Walk in the Park” benefits the Shelia Lore Memorial Fund.
Hurricane Productions is the official DJ company for Rutgers University’s Dance Marathon. The company entertained Rutgers Student Life’s ‘Senior’ Prom for Rutgers University graduates last spring at the Hyatt Regency in New Brunswick, NJ. Hurricane Productions entertained a wedding for Rutgers alumni at the same venue.
NewJerseySweet16.com entertainers Vincent Anthony, DJ N9NE, and MJ Navara celebrated Jessica’s Sweet 16 at the Lakewood Country Club in Lakewood, NJ. Hurricane Productions created a photo montage for Jessica and posted a next-day Facebook photo album on her Facebook profile.
“Hurricane Productions did a GREAT job for my daughters Sweet Sixteen ! From the very beginning I felt that I was in the hands of professionals that know what it takes to make an event outstanding and are state-of-the -art from planning, during and… after your event! They love what they do, and it shows. I would highly recommend Hurricane Productions to handle your next event.”
