My first video shoot!

So during the weekend of 12/3 I had the privilege of working with some amazing people at an RnB video shoot. I played the love interest of an artist by the name of Lydell, who is an up and coming RnB/neo-soul artist from Little Rock now based in Richmond, VA. We were shooting the video for a song called "Heartbeat" which has a really chill vibe that practically put everyone in the "mood"that was at the shoot. With the song on repeat you couldn't help but to sing and feel it. The video was directed and shot by the one and only extremely talented and handsome Monseé, CEO of The Media Den/Monseé Studios. Monseé has worked with many talented people from local hip hop artists in the DMV area to mainstream artists like Beanie Sigel, Travis Barker, and Bun B (from one of my all time favorite duos UGK). With that being said, I knew the video was going to be hot! With this being my first music video and playing a supporting lead I was very nervous and wasn't sure if I could pull it off. Never before have I acted except saying a few lines in a 5th grade play lol!  But with the professionalism and patience of both the artist and especially the director, I found comfort and assurance in what I was doing. I can't forget to mention that, Lemetra, one of my best friends of over 20 years was there supporting me through it all and trying to end our friendship fast by suggesting certain things to do on camera lol! It was all in love though. So if you can check out Lydell's music @ http://www.facebook.com/Lydell-Williams-Fan-Page and also stop by and checkout Monseé's (the Visual Bully) work at youtube.com/monseestudios, you'll be glad you did! peace...
