The “Ooh, I’m a Model” Video… Too Racy?? Say It Ain’t So!

THE VIDEO – ER, VIDEOS – FOR “OOH, I’M A MODEL” DROPPING TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2010!

Okay, so you’re probably thinking to yourself: “A.P.T., why are you putting out TWO versions of your video?”

In putting together the video, I had a few goals in mind: (a) to show the type of capacity the song could be used in for purposes of licensing it out; (b) to have a really nice-looking, high-quality video; (c) to show off sexy girls in model poses, and (d) to get a lot of YouTube hits.

In my opinion, I have succeeded at this goal.  With that said, though, there have been a few people who have seen the video – both men and women, known and unknown to me – and the general consensus has been that the video, while looking good in quality, may be, at times, uncomfortably racy in certain parts.

This is not to say that the video has any type of nudity in it.  However, seeing as this video was partially a model shoot, there were shots taken and placed in the video where the camera may have lingered on certain body parts for longer than would be comfortable for a person trying to watch it with other people around.

Now me, I actually like the video the way it is in its current form, and am still planning on releasing it next Tuesday.  At the same time, I understand how the business works.  If I take the current video I have to B.E.T. or MTV, chances are they’d probably tell me to tone it down in a few areas so that it could be played.  Furthermore, if I’m trying to shop this song to various fashion outlets, there’s always a chance that they’d see the video and not be given a clear idea as to how they could use the song, especially if it’s an outlet that’s on the more tamer side of sexy.

Luckily, one of my friends has some extra footage I can use that will (a) give the video more of a story about the fashion shoot, and (b) allow me to replace some of the “racier” shots so it tones the video down a bit.

All in all, it will be quite interesting to see which video ends up getting more hits.  Regardless, having two videos for the same song can only heighten its profile, which is ALWAYS a good thing!

That’s all for now – the “Ooh I’m a Model” video drops Tuesday, September 21! In the meantime, you can download it at www.tinyurl.com/oohimamodel today!

I don’t think y’all believe me.  I mean, I really, REALLY don’t think y’all get just how sexy this “Ooh, I’m a Model” video is going to be.

I’ll put it to ya like this… my friend showed it to a bunch of men he’s currently working with here in Hollywood, just as a “this is an example of the type of stuff we do” type of thing.  He showed them the video in its UNFINISHED form…

And the reaction? FULL. BLOWN. DROOLING.

Everything from “OMG” to “Dang, THAT’S some sexy ish.”  This video is the TRUTH, people!

And when the video drops on September 21, 2010, I know YOUR reaction is going to be the same.  Y’all gonna be like, “DANG, how did A.P.T. get a video like THAT together?!? Where’d he get those girls?!? WHY WASN’T I INVITED TO THE DANG VIDEO SHOOT?!?

Heck, I wasn’t invited either… but all will be revealed come September 21!

In the meantime, I’m going to be releasing some teasers for the video very soon.  First up will be some pics from the video, then a few short motion vids to get your appetites wet.  I’ve just finished editing together the rough draft version, and, as sexy as it is already, it’s going to be even MORESO by the time it’s released!

That’s all for now… September 21, people! In the meantime, the song is already on iTunes – why not get a copy of the single today to get in the right mindframe of what you’re going to see? www.tinyurl.com/oohimamodel

New A.P.T. video for “Ooh, I’m a Model” – coming September 21!

Hey peeps!

First off, in case u didn’t know, my NEW song dropped on August 29, and it’s called…

The “Ooh, I’m a Model” song is one I recorded earlier this year (with the help of my friend Genellyn) for my most recent album, “The Obama Milli Guy Strikes Back!” Unfortunately, I wasn’t done mixing it in time to add to the album.  Plus, the album already had 16 tracks on it, and I didn’t want to do an over-kill of songs.

With that said, though, the song is now available for purchase at www.tinyurl.com/oohimamodel.

As for the video… actually, the video is about 95% complete.  However, I have recently learned the value of hyping things up prior to them coming out, so that they’ll have a bigger impact when they finally DO drop.

I say that to say: even though the video will probably be done by the end of next week, I’m going to wait until September 21 to drop it.  That will give me time to hype it up and make it an uber-big deal when you finally get to see it.

The only thing I can tell you about the video right now… is that it is, without a doubt, one of the SEXIEST videos I have EVER put together.  I mean, when I was editing this thing, it was all I could do to NOT go to the bathroom every 5 minutes and… well, you get the idea.

Needless to say, there is a lot of sexiness going on in the video (read: sexiness, not actual sex) and it is a PERFECT match-up to the song, which is already hot by itself.  This video is unlike any video I’ve put together, and it’s definitely NOT because of me.  I’ll be sure to give the proper shout-outs to the people who made this video possible once it’s up and streaming on YouTube.

In the meantime, download the song off iTunes, bump it in your cars, and get ready for the EPIC new A.P.T. video to drop on September 21!
