I've been to a few amateur video shoots before, but Saigon's "Come On' Baby" video shoot was my first time witnessing the production of a budgeted clip.
By the time I got to the set around 6 P.M., Sai, his friends, models, extras and the production had already been on location for 8 hours (10 A.M.).

Apparently there's a lot of down time on these shoots. Sai, Maino, Tru Life and some of their homies were hangin outside the Yard Father's trailer when I got there. Swizz Beatz, Just Blaze and the Retro Kids (I'm not sure why) later popped up as well.

Those Retro Kids Are Everywhere!
Meanwhile, extras and models were eating pizza while the production crew was setting up the next shots. In a successful attempt to entertain the crowd, the director had models jump onstage to rap and sing during dead periods.

Down time on the set
Sai wouldn't spoil the video's concept, so you'll have to be patient. These flicks should give you a little hint though.

looks like it's gonna be a rapper rocking a rock crowd...if so they did that with the Ante Up remix.
this song is one of the best, most refreshing Hip Hop songs to come out in a long while...I love boom bap and I was gettin sick of most of the wack ass keyboard beats I've been hearing.

It's good to see Saigon's situation popping.
He should have had Turtle from Entourage in it though.
