On the set of the music video “Patterns of Habit”

I was extremely excited to work with a director named Derrick Pete for the music video called “Patterms of Habit” by Maad V!z!onz. He really likes my Handshapes line and guess what?!?! Several items from the Handshapes line will be shown in the music video in which the dancers wore the new tank tops for Spring/Summer 2011 and other Handshapes shirts as well.

 

Also, I am thrilled two Deaf artists were cast in the music video! One of the dancers is a deaf girl named Dani Duran, who made it into the dance team. Another deaf woman named Dejonae Jenkins, was cast as a lover. I realized they were my Handshapes models. What a coincidence!

 

 

 

Below are the pictures taken on a set in a warehouse in Burbank, CA.

I want to thank the director, Derrick Pete for inviting me to showcase my Handshapes line in his music video. I also want to thank Sharee from Deafinit Models and my assistant Rachel Tan, for supporting me as well. I really appreciated it!

Working with everyone involved on the set was a wonderful experience! I am really looking forward to viewing the music video. I will post the music video right after it releases.
