For the hotly anticipated new music video featuring Beyoncé and two dancing ladies, JaQuel Knight took the reigns as the head choreographer of a video that relies on nothing more than an incredible dance performance.
Co-Choreographer, JaQuel Knight, and Beyoncé throw up their deuces for the camera after wrapping the sixteen-hour shoot for the hot single, “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)”
After watching the past take on the monitor, director Jake Nava screams through the walls to give the ladies a few notes.
JaQuel give notes as he studies camera shots with the “B-Team” with his handheld monitor.
Ashley Everett, dancer, is finishing up final touches in the hair and make-up department, and is ready to get things rockin’ & rollin’ with the shoot.
As the crew adjusts the spotlights, the “Ladies” stand in the opening pose and wait for the Queen B to join them.
There they go! The ladies give all that they have each take, throughout the long hours.
