This past Monday OUTTOWN checked out the first of the two day video shoot of the St. Lunatics' filming the first official music video for the single, "Money Talk" the first official single off the group's second CD, "City Free." The shoot was held at Vision Tracks Studios in Fenton. If you look closely, you can see YOURS TRULY, Ma'at Atkins on the far right (in blue hat and light blue shirt and dark blue pants) all in the mix as though he was part of the crew. LOL Check out below all of the behind the scenes pics from the vid and see who dropped by to be on the set!
At 9ish AM we got to the spot. The tour bus of the St. Lunatics was parked near the studios along with the crew truck for the video prep. We didnt get where the Lunatics stayed but we assume it was nearby (It was a Motel 6 next door but we dont know if they stayed there).
Inside, the crew were filming the video models' portion of the video.

More prepping and filming of the models.
Meanwhile, in the green room, Lunatics member City Spud was getting a touch up on his hair and beard as the video shoot barber gets Spud edged up and videographer Chris Phillips gets all of the trimmings. The flash in the mirror came from YOURS TRULY. LOL

NOTE: OUTCAM was there from 9 a.m. to about 5p.m. When we were leavng they had finished one scene with Birdman (who was surprisingly the gentleman when we were in his way when he was about to walk around. he said, "excuse me, sir." ) and local dee-jay Sir Thurl was there for his scene. Throughout the day, YOURS TRULY played commentator during the video shoot as videographer Chris Phillips digicammed it for a future YOUTUBE screening (TBD). Also on set were Lunatics member Ali and STL rapper Just Blac who arrived after we left. Also, kudos to Fresh Water who provided the H20 for err body, the best water in the planet!
