Young American helps create Chinese tourism video for Times Square

NEW YORK - Video producer and musician Justin Scholar enjoyed his epic moment weeks ago when he spotted his latest work playing on a huge LED screen at New York's Times Square.

"It's sort of the American dream to see your name up in lights," says the 25-year-old New Jersey native. "I'd never really cared about my name being that big, but going to New York and seeing the big screens, you always wonder if your work is going to make it up there."

The video was shot and produced in China, where Scholar now lives and owns a media company. After taking his first Mandarin class in high school seven years ago, Scholar had listed China as a future destination and made his first trip to Shanghai in 2015 through a study-abroad program when he was a student in New York University.
