The stars of the music video. She is Proverb's personal trainer in real life too.

Day two of the shoot. A crew of three people and Proverb. We shot all the exteriors at Wits University because "GYM is an acronym for Grow Your Mind"

from left: Jobie (DP) Me (Director), Chabi (On-set PA), Ziona (Make-up), Suzan (Production Co-ordinator) , Proverb and Beasty (Co-star of the video). This is the whole crew, you don't always need 30 people on set to eat your food, lol.

We have been shooting tons of music videos. I think this year alone we have already done over six. One of the best thing about it is to be able to learn new skills. It takes someone special to execute big budget videos and small budget videos and make sure that they are not a world apart in terms of quality. I don't think we are doing too bad in that department. If you have a big budget you tend to just throw money at the problems and with a small budget you are forced to be more creative and it allows you to experiment because there is more room for mistakes. Your mistakes won't cost you. Big budgets allows you to have access to the best cameras, locations, crew, editors, more time in grade, etc.

I really enjoy shooting with Proverb because he is a seasoned professional who makes your job very easy as a director.

Work It Out was shot in a day and a half and it was a stress free shoot. I had mad fun and there was a lot of room to play around and experiment.

The video will be released some time later this year, we have not decided when we will drop it because My Day Will Come is currently picking up heavy steam. My Day Will Come video was shot by the exact same crew with more or less the same budget. Here is the link for My Day Will Come music video...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AugwMFFkaEM. Enjoy.
