Ok first off, yes it is monday, and this IS sorta a music related post, but its not officially going to be a music monday post. Don’t question me, its cause I say so, so there . Anyway, I am an avid fan of turntablelist/super producer, RJD2, all of the videos from his past albums have been perfect in capturing the emotion of the song or conveying the overall idea. So for the song “Work It Out” of of RJ’s latest work, “The Third Hand”, the tradition continues. Together with Bill Shannon, they shoot what I can only call, a marvel of man’s will to adapt to a situation, in one take. Now I’m sure you’re saying, “I’ve seen plenty of videos shot in one take, whats so special about this one?”, well I’m glad you asked. Aside from it being a great song to begin with, lets get a brief synopsis of Mr. Shannon.

…Bill Shannon who was born with a degenerative hip condition. His legs cannot carry his own weight and so he has lived a life on crutches. He has developed a new way of moving through life on his skateboard and the crutches. Though this may look like a recreational hobby or a debilitation, it is simply how Bill maneuvers throughout the day.

That being said, lets move onto the video itself.

Now if there is anything that can be gained from this video, its a bit of inspiration. Make the best of your situation, no matter how bad you think it might be, you can’t let stuff get in the way of what you want to do in life. I commend RJ and Bill on a great video, and look forward to future things from both of them.
