VLOG WEEK 22: I Didn't Know There Were Cameras I Get Dance

I didn't know they have cameras over here. I was like butt naked. Hi guys, today is Thursday. I'm going to another shoot, number four, five, no three this week. This is my outfit of the day. I'm wearing Yeezys, I'm wearing sweats that should have been iron because I'm going to be dancing in them, but who cares. I'm wearing not at all matching hoodie, but this is not what this is about. If I have a video shoot, I usually do a lot of outfit changes. So I have this bag full, I have a suitcase full. So what do I do so that my stuff doesn't get wrinkled? Well, let's just say I have a pair of jeans under my sweats. I have two hoodies, not one, and one, possibly two t-shirts underneath. So, and this is all, you know, so stuff doesn't get wrinkled. I also have high hopes that if something is wrinkled and I wear it, it will kind of, you know, like spread out and unwrinkle itself. Of course, I could have ironed yesterday. Last night, there was plenty of time after I finished teaching and I started, when I started packing, getting ready, then, well, this happened. So, okay, um, I'll take you with me for my, to my shoot and enjoy my creative process, guys. Okay, shot. I'm not filming you. This, I don't know if you were here, but when I was here with Lester, we had to do like outfit changes. So I would have to switch, you know, my outfit six times. So instead of running to the bathroom back and forth, I was changing hair. Well, I didn't know they have cameras over here. I was like, butt naked. Wait, where are the cameras? Oh my God. I'm not changing hair anymore. I'll tell you that much. See, this can be a tripod. This is embarrassing. Oh, and Lester bought another light, you know? Yeah, yeah. I made him. He told me. I'm like, yeah, it's coming tomorrow. I'm like, I'm shooting Marek on Friday. He was so excited. He's like, Marek, another light for Marek. It's coming on Saturday. I made him. Because, you know, today is good light, but we're shooting, I think, two times next week and I don't, I don't know what the weather will be. It's almost done with the shoot. So I'm just going to tell you a little bit what I'm shooting today. I decided, I don't know if it's a great idea, you tell me, but I don't know about you, but when I started to learn how to dance, the only way I could learn is from watching music videos. So I would watch the videos that I loved and, you know, usually there's like background dancers in them. So I would just try and learn the steps from those videos. I would teach them to myself and that's how I learned how to dance pretty much before YouTube even existed. So what I thought might be helpful is recording tutorials on the dance moves used in specific music videos, you know? So today I'm recording the Taki Taki song by DJ Snake and also Ariana Grande's Thank U, Next. If you have any suggestions, if there's any like dance videos, music videos that you like, feel free to send them to me because I need ideas. So we'll see how that goes. So we shot two tutorials so far. Yeah, stay tuned. I'm going to post them soon or maybe they are already up. Who knows? In this YouTube space, you know? We finished. Yeah, are you happy, Monia? Was I a difficult customer and client? You're lying. Bye. It has to look like you're not moving the arms on purpose even though you are. So what I do is just literally one inch up and down or forward back. The general rule is that if the movement is smooth with the body, let's say the pelvis, then the arms also should look smooth. If there's like a ticking, well, ticking you don't have to do anything with the arms, but if there's like a sharper movement with the feet or the torso that stops, then the arms should go the same rhythm. Get it? So it will be weird if we're doing the circles, but the arms go like, you know, you don't want to look robotic, so. Music. I am in a city. I got to say. And now this one, this is not as important, but when you do the sidewalk, doesn't matter which one, notice your upper body because it's normal, right? You're thinking about the feet, so we're not paying attention, but then your muscles will remember the tension. And then every time you do the sidewalk, even after you already get it right, it's going to be a little tense or stiff or weird looking. Yeah, you know, it's only the legs are working, nothing else. You can maybe tense the core, the core muscles, engage the core muscles, but that's an option is to make it kind of small and you can go faster with this one because it's traveling, or you can really use the space. I don't know which one is easier. This one is really wide. Yeah.
