You know, if only I had seen this commercial about 8 years ago.

So I have been producing videos for a long time and back in college in my TV 2 class, we had to produce the latest craze on TV. That’s right, the exciting MUSIC video. What? There’s pictures with my music? How insane! Remember kids, this was back in 1989. Anyway, I put up this music video featuring a Gino Vannelli song (not “Black Cars” but from the same album) on youtube almost a year ago stating that it was an extremely rare,  never-before seen Gino Vannelli music video . And if you watch it, you can tell there was quite a bit of production value and I think it could have played on MTV. Or at least Friday Night Videos. It’s received over 7,000 views and on some of the comments, you can tell that people think this really was a professionally produced video for the band. How cool would it be if Gino saw this and called his label and said, “Hey, why didn’t we release this single? That video is awesome!”

The tall young guy is Loren Lasley, the brother of one of my classmates from back then,  Shaun Lasley. And the guy in bed with the glasses is Shaun’s husband, Monard. Cammie Mitchell was also part of our little group. She and Shaun were seniors at the time and I was just a junior. And I had a secret crush on both of them as well as a huge crush on our starring lady, Elaine Frontain. (I did get to kiss Shaun in another class video project,  but I haven’t had a chance to upload that one yet.)
The video was shot all over the TCU campus including the bedroom scenes which were an elaborate set that included very nice mood lighting IMO. (did you know that one way to portray “night” lighting, you can use blue light even though there really is no blue light at night. Unless the cops are outside, I guess)

Well check it out baby! 

Now, who wants one?

Wow, this little article really hit home with me. it’s about procrastination and how to avoid it. Some of the ideas discussed include taking small steps, wanting to do something instead of “having” to do something, and even setting up a timer to get your butt moving. I think that I have gotten better about my laziness because I find myself trying to address issues head on,  but working 2 jobs has a tendency to put me in a “zombie”-like state during the day and I am not sure what to do about it.
