Armani Scott, Esq. Tocolu Studios/GADA Enterprise scam video failure bounced checks empty promises unprofessional editing mismanaged funds non-artistic Newark, New Jersey
ARMANI SCOTT OF TOCOLU STUDIOS CONNED ME OF OUT OF $5000
I hired this clown in May of 2010 for a professional quality video shoot which was supposed to be finished by June 2010. On August 27th, 2010 he still did not finish, stiffed one of the models that appeared in the video for her last payment, and didn't complete any of the videography or editing. He basically put himself out in the marketplace as a professional film producer, but he is a clown. Not a producer. Most horrible person to work with. Now I have to sue him. He is unresponsive to calls and emails, and he has no artistic talent. His value added was non-existent. I blame myself, though, I knew that I shouldn't have hired him when I saw how unprepared he and his marijuana-smoking photographers were during our first meeting. You would have thought that my partner and I simply walked in off the street instead of showing up for the scheduled meeting. Do not hire this guy. He ***. I know he's an attorney also, but I don't know if he screwed any clients in that area, but I would be better safe than sorry. I wish I was when I smelled the *** smoke that was wafting through his "studio."

Erroneous Complaint
#2REBUTTAL Individual responds
Fri, February 03, 2012
This complaint against me and TocoLu Studios is erroneous and mean spirited. The client was provided with a completed video for $5,000 when he had actually contracted to pay $7,500 for the video. The video along with the clients files were hand delivered to his home.
The client was chronically late to scheduled shoots which extended the production schedule and caused the delay in completing the project. on one occassion, we conducted an extended shoot on Father's Day in an attempt to service the client's needs.
The client also began to exhibit erratic behavior that caused me to be concerned for the safety of myself and my family. The client used profanity and personally threatened me with violence in text messages and on the phone during conference calls when we were attempting to respond to his needs.
The client began to make outlandish, unreasonable requests for additional work that: 1) was not feasible give the agreed budget and 2) unteneble given his apparently violent proclivities.
The client agreed to pay $7,500 for the video work and we declined any payments beyond the $5,000 in an attempt to swiftly end the relationship while still servicing his needs up to a point that was professional while protecting ourselves.
All talent that worked on the production was compensated as agreed for their work.
We terminated relationships with two independent contractors whose professionalism did not meet our standards. This was an unsolicited act done without the client's request or complaint. The client was informed of the termination after it was done.
There has been no legal action taken by this client and this complaint is obviously a smear. We regret that the client is unhappy but the record and facts are clear. He was provided with a video at less than the contracted price and his tardy, erratic behavior makes professional intercourse dificult.
We consider this matter closed unless additional attempts to smear us require additional response.
