Clint Loveness knows what he's doing, he's been doing it for a solid couple of years now--directing a video. Directing is a gift and Clint has this gift. It's a huge bright red gift, with shiny wrapping paper and a 13 point bow on top. Man, he makes it look so effortless and easy. This man has the virtues you need--the patience, the determination, the wit...mmm, I like it.
For the first time I felt the feeling of a script writer. I get to create a song in my bedroom, put my heart and soul into it, then hand it off into the hands of a director and let him take it. It was surreal as I stood on the roof of the Maple Terrace apartments, leaning on the outer wall, watching my imaginary song unfold as reality before me--actors, actresses, extras, crew, cameras, equipment--all of it dancing together to make visual choreography. I felt outside of it--disembodied from my own idea. It was joyous experience, not a fearful one. I felt I had become both more and less at the same time. That I had given a part of me to bring others together, but that at the same time, I had little to do with the big picture, rather, I'm just a small spark in a much larger fire.
