great camera work. Really like the part thats just focused on her boobs! lol

[dedicatedears]

@pink0amyleeann0pinky It's standard documentary shooting style shooting to shoot close ups of the hands. Her hands happened to be near her chest,. For a one flip camera shoot I think it came out well.

This is great. This makes my day. I will have to check this out in SF or Santa Cruz, on tour 20 dates with Jamie Stewart pka Xiu Xiu. Both my "smithies" and "africa" lists will have to check this out, or am I the last one to know about this?

[dedicatedears]

Thanks! Keep an eye out on my channel this year I will probably have interviews and concert footage for 20 to 25 artists. Next up us local Chicago band Netherfriends who I will record tonight and post this week.

hey watch where ur pointin' that camera ;)

[MrHopeTelevision]

im sick of people asking 'is this a dude' - go fuck yourselves you rude cunts

[MrHopeTelevision]

@a3th3r yes

[a3th3r]

@MrHopeTelevision is that a dude?

[David82comic]

Listen i dont think any one wants to be discrimintive, put on the contrary try to identify with her, which of coarse would be very hard since i am not sure if she is a women or a man...so im not being rude its and technically if this person is ok getting the attention this person deserves forthe good work this person deos then i just want to know is this person a man or woman....if she says she isa man then so be and vice versa.....you ppl cursing up a storm are the rude cunts.......

@dedicatedears Worth getting more than one camera for arty shots as it does come across a little errrr pervy.... Great interview though thank you :)

[pacers3115]

@MrHopeTelevision It is not really their fault. Think about all of the ultra feminine gay guys out there nowadays that are very similar in voice and appearance to Merril....

[mrtea180]

@Cptheadstomp420 yep? so this is a man? ok thats all i wanted to know

[Cptheadstomp420]

@mrtea180 yep, i really dont care what you have to say after this have fun though

[mrtea180]

@Cptheadstomp420 just answer the question, is this a man?

[Cptheadstomp420]

@grwagz mightve just been the video quality making it sound more like a "th" than "s" sound

[Cptheadstomp420]

@mrtea180 then you must be scrawny and ugly as fuck if you think thats what "heavy built men" look like
