Russell “Rockstar” Davis, from RockstarBartender.com, was kind enough to make this completely awesome flaming tequila based cocktail while I videoed it on a Canon 5D Mark II with a 15mm fisheye lens on it. The results are simply fantastic. If you’ve never seen anyone pour flaming liquid 3 feet through the air before, well… let me just say it’s a sight to behold!
Russell also made another special concoction for us on video, and I’ll get that posted as soon as I get a chance to edit it. I have a LOT of photos and videos that need editing right now, but I’ve also got a lot of other stuff going on, so it might take some time to get everything out. But I know you’ll all enjoy this one!
UPDATE:
OH! And I almost forgot! Russell is actually one of four finalists in the country for Bartender of the Year at the Nighclub & Bar Awards in Las Vegas in March! That is out of hundreds of entries! So, I suppose there is no better guy to help you get hammered! ;-) You can also follow along with Russell over on Twitter.
By the way if you like this video, you can thank my friend Mike Paolini who took me to see Russell at Peche in Austin and got permission for us to film and photograph in the bar! Also, he’s the one who took that photo up above (make sure and click through to check it out), all I did was process it.
That is fantastic! You are making me want a fish eye lens more & more. Love the look on video, never seen that before.
This is a great art to make cocktails. Nice video
