the vide{o} experience // postponed

You got to love this press release I typed up (lol):

ShawnQt's Youtube show, the vide{o} experience, has been postponed. The experimental reality series follows ShawnQt on his quest to achieve his dream to perform through the making of Janet Jackson's "FeedBack" video.  Through the initial episodes and commercials, viewers finally got a glimpse of Shawn's vibrant personality.

Why was the show postponed? "It felt like I was the film crew, the editing department, the set director, in charge of casting & advertising, on top of being the star of the show! I was trying to meet deadlines and handle criticism, I really wanted to be on point... and I think I burned myself out."

Throughout the process, ShawnQt felt that this has been a huge learning experience & life lesson for himself. "I did the script, learned new dance moves, picked the concept and location, I was ready! Then the problems came. For example, one of my cameras video taped all this footage... then when I played it back the sound was so bad, then another time it was the lighting, it was just one thing after another, and I got a discouraged. I learned that great work comes motivation, determination, and confidence. I am willing to have all three by the end of it all!"

The last episode showed ShawnQt and his best-friend, Omar Ramon laughing it up in one of the best moments of the series. "One of the critiques that I had about the show was that I didn't include any of my friends in it. I actually have some footage, but didn't include it because I didn't think it was up to par with what I wanted. It was hard for me to postpone it, but I really want to do it right. This is why I called it experimental, because things like this happen."

So what is the next step in the vide{o} experience?

"I plan to release some behind the scenes footage that hasn't been shown. I am going to do smaller dance videos like I did before, and then this summer do one final episode, with the actual "FeedBack" performance! I have people subscribing to my channel, literally everyday, so I don't want to disappoint them... it has been awhile but I am building my motivation back! I love to entertain, and  achieving your dreams is hard, but you have live it!"
