BEHIND THE VIDEO: P.O.E.T---"GIRL OF MY DREAMS"

A NON-DESCRIPT LOCATION NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF NORTH AND CHARLES SERVED AS THE CREATIVE SPACE FOR THE FILMING OF "GIRL OF MY DREAMS", A SINGLE FROM BALTIMORE EMCEE P.O.E.T.  I WAS FORTUNATE TO WITNESS FROM A BIRD'S EYE VIEW THE CREATIVE VISION FOR THE VIDEO.  THE VENUE WAS APPROPRIATE FOR THE TYPE OF VIDEO BEING CONSTRUCTED, WITH ENOUGH SPACE TO ACCOMODATE THAT CREATIVE VISION.  TO EXPOSE MY STEPSON DORIAN TO SAID CREATIVE VISION, I BROUGHT HIM ALONG TO SEE WHAT GOES INTO THE PROCESS, BECAUSE THE FINISHED PRODUCT TAKES BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS, NOT NECESSARILY IN THAT ORDER.

ONCE AT THE LOCATION, I WAS INTRODUCED TO A FEW OF THE VIDEO PARTICIPANTS. AS WELL AS P.O.E.T.'S MANAGER CHAUNCEY.  EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE A FEW LAST MINUTE CHANGES TO THE VIDEO TREATMENT AND VISION, THE PROFESSIONALISM OF EVERYONE IN ATTENDANCE WS EVIDENT.  AS THEY SAY IN ENTERTAINMENT CIRCLES, THE SHOW MUST GO ON, AND ON IT DID.  FOR A FEW HOURS, THERE WERE MULTIPLE CLIPS AND SHOTS BEING FILMED BY THE VIDEOGRAPHER, WHO EXHIBITED PATIENCE AS WELL AS GUIDANCE DURING THE AFTERNOON.  JUST KEEP IN MIND THAT THE VIDEOGRAPHER ULTIMATELY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PIECING TOGETHER THE PUZZLE IN ORDER TO NARRATE WHATEVER STORY IS NECESSARY.  FOR "GIRL OF MY DREAMS", IT WAS NECESSARY FOR THE VIDEO TO EXHIBIT AUTHENTICITY AND CREDIBILITY, AND FROM WHAT I COULD SURMISE THOSE GOALS WERE SATISFIED.

THROUGH THE VARIOUS OUTFIT CHANGES AND SCENERY UPDATES, P.O.E.T. WAS ABLE TO ADAPT TO THE ULTIMATE SITUATION AT HAND.  ONCE THE FINAL SHOT AT THE CHARLES STREET LOCATION WAS COMPLETE, IT WAS ON TO THE NEXT ONE.  THE REMAINING PORTION OF THE VIDEO SHOOT TOOK PLACE AT THE VIDEOGRAPHER'S HOME, IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THE STORYLINE IN AN EFFECTIVE MANNER.  I DIDN'T ACCOMPANY THE CAST TO THE FINAL LOCATION, BUT FROM THE WORDS OF P.O.E.T. IT WAS A SUCCESS.  MUCH LOVE IS BEING SENT TO P.O.E.T., HIS MANAGER CHAUNCEY,  THE VIDEOGRAPHER (WHOSE NAME ELUDES ME AT THE PRESENT MOMENT) THE VIDEO MODEL WHO TRAVELED TO BALTIMORE FOR THIS SHOOT, AS WELL AS THE FOUR POSITIVE BROTHERS ROUNDING OUT THE CAST.  ALL IN ALL, IT WAS A POSITIVE, UPLIFTING, AND INFORMATIVE EXPERIENCE FOR MYSELF AND MY STEPSON, WHO ABSORBED THE VIBE AND IS BETTER FOR IT.  ONCE THE VIDEO IS AVAILABLE, I WILL DEFINITELY POST IT FOR VISUAL CONSUMPTION.

ONE LOVE!
