Greetings!

I just got back from a weekend-long video shoot of D-PAN’s latest music video production in Detroit, Michigan. Their video should be released within 2-3 weeks from now so do keep an eye out for it.

There were three out-of-towners and four local performers involved in this shoot. It was wonderful getting to know them individually, especially after spending so many hours with them, reciting the same song over and over and over! :) We were also aware of how fortunate we were to work with a professional film crew whom have worked with so many prominent artists as Eminem, 50 Cents, Tori Amos, etc. It was fascinating on how they work as a team and how they carry out their artistic vision along with us deafies. They were all very generous, kind, and patient with us as most of us have never done this before so its such a wonderful experience.

Below are some pictures taken over the weekend that I thought y’all might enjoy.
