And with the video work,I try to take the viewer to the same place as the listener,if that makes any sense to yall. Im very detailed in all my work.

5.How many videos have you done thus far & Let the people know what your business can offer?
-I ve got over 30 videos I've done up to this point. As far as my company goes,November 14th, we specialize in music videos but I do all kinds of videorapghy work.But we mainly do music videos and soon I wanna try my hand in making short films and movies.
6.And the name of your film company is Nov14th correct how did that name come about?
-November 14th is my son's birthday,so I named it that to remind me of why I have to work so hard and who im doing all of the hard work for. We are still in the beginning stages of business and just as with any business it takes time to grow and for us to get to the status we are trying to get to but in the end I think we will be pretty successful and maybe I will be able to pass it down to him when he gets older you know. I also have the record label, New! Car Tunes, and we just trying to bring Alabama hip hop,they way we live it and see it, bring it to the rest of the world if possible.
7.Which video do you feel is your greatest work thus far?
-I wouldnt say I have a greatest because I'm still learning and trying new things every time I can,but some of my personal favs are the 6 tre G video I did called 100,Klub Monsta-Waiting, Kuntraversy-Kuntraversy Sells, and probably this newest video from Dee Macc.But I like all my videos & all the artist I've worked with have been super cool. And we had fun shooting Murc Hiest video for his song Murc Greatest. Shout out to the homie Kenny Luk too for showing and teaching me things about filming and dropping jewels on me when he didnt have to. He took time out of his schedule & what he does to do the stuff he did for me yet he did anyways.Real people do real things and I wanna shout him out for looking out for me.
8.Where do you see your video talents taking you in next couple of years?
-Like I stated earlier I'm hoping it takes me to a comfortable,successful,happy life. Working with some marjor label artists on music videos and other projects,shooting big commercials, And hoping maybe that it will lead me into making movies.Who knows tho I think its really no limit to where it could take us.
