Making of music video - Love De Carnival

Wow!!!! Another music video and I am especially grateful to ALL who worked around the clock to make it possible.

I stand corrected but I think that my team is the first to produced the first tagged video in Barbados. Congratulations to you on this big achievement.

It all started with producing the tagged for ‘Push Back’. This happened on November 9, 2008 and what freaked me out was we expected the tag to be completed in about 2 hours. We were wrong…..lol….it actually took about 4 ½ hours to shoot. The reason??? We were having tooooooo much fun and didn‘t care about the time. The dancers and I had a blast.

On November 29, 2008 was the shoot of ‘Love De Carnival’. The key crew members including myself reached location at 10 am. It was a long trek across sand, gravel, mud and grass before we reached the location with heavy equipment, food, makeup, clothing and other materials. The shoot for this song took approximately 10 hours.

Thanks to Selwyne "Get Bizzy" Browne and his crew. To Nicholas and Maurice luv yuh bad, my true inspiration to creating. Lorena for photography and Dance Machine dancers. To the people who played many roles that day, Lia Gajadhar, (Manager, Director, Makeup Artist, Creative and Artistic Person, Technical Assistance); Anthony Best (Stylist and Creative and Artistic Person, Technical Assistance) and Romel ‘Sanctuary’ Bennett (Song Writer and Technical Assistance).

Despite all the hard work we had lots of fun. Check out the behind the scene video where you see everyone in action. It is plain raw footage and you will love it.

You can let me have your comments on what you think of the song and the video by emailing me at www.myspace.com/tarahholdipp.
