Anthony Antoine's Cover of Janet Jackson's "IF" - Official (Home) Video

CAUTION: THIS VIDEO IS HOT!!! Absolute self-indulgence or independent music maker genius, you decide! This is what an independent artist gets up to on "Date Night with Self." The goal: direct my own music video, shooting it with my already owned consumer use camera (Sony Cybershot DSC-T700) and editing it within software (Movie Maker) pre-loaded on my now dinosaur laptop. And do this for the lowest cost ever to make a music video - FREE! Goal 2: Ensure the video doesn't compromise on entertainment value due to no budget and small crew (only ME)! Although shots give the illusion of someone else controlling the lens, every shot is from the camera held in my hand ONLY. No one else was present for "Date Night with Self." My new video is produced, directed and edited by little ole me. I guess the rest is left to be seen. Have I created a video that carries on YouTube? How did I do? This is an independent artist taking it to the next level - GETTIN MY LIFE! I've waited long enough for a major record label to support an openly same gender loving artist in mainstream music. No major label would be brave enough to produce me as an artist or my new video. This video is me, taking matters into my own hands and stands as testiment to what being an independent artist is all about. Please subscribe to my videos! Give me some feedback! Pick up the song on iTunes or other downloads sites. Let's prove the labels wrong!
