Adam Lambert's 'Another Lonely Night' dancer on video shoot

The music video for Adam Lambert's 'Another Lonely Night' is fast approaching five million views on music video hosting platform YouTube and one of the dancers in the visuals, named TJ, had a chat with AdamLambertBrasil.com about his involvement in the project.

When asked how he came to be involved in the music video, TJ explained that he was scouted at a club and was then approached by producer Luke Gilford:

"The producer Luke Gilford was in the club one night speaking to our new owners and management. They had referred myself and one other guy. So, the following night, they asked us to come in and meet with Luke. He sat down and we had talked about the story line for this video. Immediately I got excited as I knew this was something I had been manifesting in my mind for nearly a year now! Needless to say he picked me and here we are now!"

TJ went onto add that he wasn't familiar with Lambert's career or music prior to appearing in the music video, but was really excited after watching some of the vocal powerhouse's music videos and performances on YouTube:

"When I first met with Luke he would not let me in on who the music video was for. Supposedly “classified” info at the time. But come day of the shoot they finally had let me know it was for Adam Lambert! “Who?” I responded. My girlfriend (who was originally cast to be part of the video with me as she was pregnant) replied, “that guy from American Idol.” Still unsure of who he was, I looked up some videos on Youtube and discovered Adam, a man with great talent nonetheless.

He then opened up about the experience of shooting the music video and explained that it was a memorable experience: "Day of the shoot is finally here, bright and early the production crew begins to roll in. Nearly 40-50 crew members with all kinds of equipment and several large moving trucks all down my street."

"They make their way into my house and started. It was crazy! I couldn’t believe how much goes into making these videos. As the day goes on and we wrapped up our shots in the house, we moved to the strip where we you see me skateboarding into work. And from there I had to head home to take care of some other business, while the crew moved on to filming other parts of the video. When night approaches I headed into work @ OG and did my thing just like any other night, but this time it felt like I was in a dream."

"They had lights, cameras, lasers, and fog machines all surrounding the stage. And the reality set in that I was in this moment making it happen. Getting ready for my final shots to get on stage, the producer had made a last minute decision to have me dress as a fireman, as it would be more recognisable for viewers to know what was going on. Typically I would be wearing a “JT costume/ suit n tie”… Despite the long day and sudden changes it made for a very memorable experience full of fun and laughter. I couldn’t have asked for more and definitely couldn’t be more pleased with final results. Only bummer was the lack thereof notoriety in my assistance. I was really hoping there be some type of credits that would alert fans of who I was."
