Dave Meyers: J.Lo In Complete Control Of Her Career

Music video director Dave Meyers spoke with Marilyn Beck and Stacy Jenel Smith about directing the new Jennifer Lopez video, ‘The One’, featuring Joe Budden. Meyers has also directed J.Lo’s ‘All I Have,’ ‘I’m Real’ and ‘I’m Gonna Be Alright’, and says the singer/actress “is very, very in touch with what’s going on. That woman is in complete control of her career and I think succeeding because of it. She definitely comes with ideas a lot of times on the videos. It’s like ‘Hey, I want to be in the hood…or the Midwest…or in ‘Flashdance.’ She puts you in the ballpark. For ‘The One,’ she mentioned being in Little Havana. You can pretty much guess that any artist that’s at the top generally already has a vision of some sort.”
