Nesbeth Shoots 'Guns Out' video in Jones Town

On Saturday, June 14th, In one scene, an informer, an elderly man, makes a phone call when he sees a murder go down in the middle of the road, and in another, an argument between two men turns violent when one guns down the other even as the victim's mother screams 'do, no kill mi one son'.

Nesbeth sees the second murder while prips around the corner of his porch, and the murderer, even as he makes good his escape, waves the gun in the Nesbeth's direction, forcing him to take evasive action from the gunman. The shoot used local talent from the area to bring the dramatizations to life.

"We started at about a quarter to nine and we did the performance shot first with Nesbeth singing the song in the middle of the crime scene location with the police and the chalk outline. We had children playing the keyboard and on actual recorders as well," music video director Carlo 'Amlak' Less of Flim Jamaica said.

"We shot action sequences the rest of the day, with the event that occurred that caused the ruption in the community, the murder of a man. We used all local talent and that was important to us because this is Nesbeth's community…one of the children is an accomplished player of the recorder."

Amlak has shot videos such as Gyptian's Mama and Queen Ifrica's 'Daddy Don't Touch Me There'.Leonie Brooks played the victim's mother, Clifton King a.k.a Ferocious played the victim while Adrian Thomas played the gunman.

"It is not a hard thing for me to do," Adrian who is a dancer out of the Tuff a Like crew said.
Aldred Williams, a sixtysomething year old man, shot the scene where he played an informer.
"I just feel to play that role, " he said. "I feel it will big me up, I don't care what people want to say, I have the majority."

Nesbeth, who seemed stoked and excited that the video was being shot, praised the actors and the director on their work.

"This is going to be a great video, a real work of art depicting life in the inner city and what people have to endure on an almost daily basis," he said.

Nesbeth scored a number one last year with Boardhouse on the Trumpet rhythm. He is managed by Kemar McGregor, chief executive officer of No Doubt Records. Nesbeth's promotional team including Bull, Captain Meredy, and Garry, were also present during the shoot.
