Earlier this month, I reported that the Official
Jennifer Lopez website had a behind-the-scenes feature on the making
of her video If You had My Love. I recently found another
website which features an article on the making of the video. Adobe
Premiere World has an online article on the making of the website
shots which is featured prominently in the video. The site also has
several downloads of the website screens from the video.

I'm not sure how long ago this feature has been online, but the Official
Jennifer Lopez Website has a section dedicated to the making
of her If You Had My Love video (last time I
checked it only had downloadable media). The layout of the
section is similar to the "website" featured in the
video. You can browse different "rooms", watch clips
of several of Jennifer Lopez's dances (also featured in the
video), as well as view behind-the-scenes pictures and info.

This not really "news", but something worth sharing. I
happened to stumble upon a website for hip hop choreographer Fatima
Robinson and was surprised to find out how many Paul Hunter videos
she has been involved with. Fatima is most well known for her work with
Michael Jackson ("Remember The Time"), Aaliyah ("Are You
That Somebody") & Backstreet Boys ("Everybody Backstreet's
Back"). She is also known for her choreography of Will Smith's Wild
Wild West video (she was nominated for a 1999 MTV Video Music
Award for this). I was surprised to find out that she choreographed
other Paul Hunter videos including Biggie's Hypnotize, Heavy
D.'s Big Daddy, Aaliyah's One In A Million, Lenny
Kravitz's Fly Away (she was the girl in the video with the
cowboy hat), and even Matchbox 20's Back 2 Good.
