Being sick sucks. Like really fucking sucks. I just might be the biggest baby when it comes to being sick. I was sick before the music video shoot, kind of during (though adrenaline and the need to get it done are great masking agents; just like the double doses/four pills of NyQuil, a shot of bourbon and way too much coffee) and, of course, again after. Staying up all night for two nights then waking up early (read: six hours of sleep in three days) for the next day are not a plan for good health. But, it is a plan for making a fun as hell music video. The concept and script were fun as shit. I felt bad as the director, DP (director of photography, also known as the camera operator, lighting director and eyes of the film) and second AC (second assistant camera), as well as the lighting and setup crew had to work their fucking asses off as I got to relish being an actor.
This video definitely allowed me to display my acting skills much more than the last one, by nature of the theme and script. I fucking loved it. I also happen to be really fucking awesome (read: not bad) at it. I am sad that we are almost done with the video (we have one more short night of shooting) but enjoyed every minute of it so far. I wish I could tell you more but I don't want to spoil it and the surprises along the way. Needless to say, it'll be great and you'll love it.
What you won't love is the Meniere's attack I had right before the filming, which went away during shooting (thank God!) and the fact that it's 8pm and I can barely keep my eyes open as the lack of sleep and illness is taking over. Plus, somehow a wart on my face may (or may not) be getting infected as a barely visible mark is now swollen and painful... Jesus, it's been a week. Plus, I'm headed to Arizona to enjoy some of that 115 degree heat... Not... Well, I am going to Arizona, but no, I won't be enjoying the heat...
If I had more energy I would make one of those videos I promised on YouTube that I still haven't delivered on where I would rant about Kanye being the second most important artist of my lifetime or why I feel like all cats have autism... Maybe next week. This week, I'm glad I'm still alive and I'm going to go finish watching the new season of Kimmy Schmidt... Fuck it...
But, here's a still of me and a beautiful girl in a car way too nice for the both of us from the (first) "Lookin' at Luckey" video which will be out in the next month (notice my doofy singing face. Singing is never graceful on stills...):
I know, that has nothing to do with the new video but you'll see this one sooner bitches...
