DANIEL BEDINGFIELD VIDEO OUT NOW
The Little X-directed video for British dance act Daniel
Bedingfield's Gotta Get Through This has surfaced on Launch.com
(where you can view it in streaming video format). Apparently
the video is also out on MTV's Total Request Live, as it is
listed on the show's music video voting page at MTV.com.
The video starts out with Daniel Bedingfield sitting against a white
set, with a guitar, singing an acoustic version of the song. The
background wall splits open to reveal a glowing red backdrop as the
dance version of the song starts. As described before, the video
was shot in Toronto in late July, and includes shots in a penthouse
apartment type of set and the side of a building covered with graffiti.
It is interesting to see Little X's visual interpretations on a dance
track, as he is used to directing videos for R&B & hip-hop
acts. This video is easily my favorite Little X-directed video
this year.

I've received an email from someone working on the set of a
new Little X-directed video. The video is by up & coming

Get Thru This. The track is already a hit in
