Practice, practice, practice. That’s probably what most teachers are saying. And by “practice”, we mean, “try to find a few different ways of shooting at the same time and try to improve on each of them at the same time.” Practice different shooting methods: How many ways could I shoot this video? That depends on […]
It depends on the amount we’re shooting, how exciting that shoot is — we’ve done a few in Mexico, some we’re shooting in Europe — how much we’re getting paid. Then we need to decide, what do we want to build a business on? I don’t think it’s that different than shooting music videos. The […]

You can’t go wrong with a smart camera for music videos but if you’re a professional or if your videos are all for promotion, a DSLR can’t hurt. It’s important to be aware of what camera can be used with your music videos so you have plenty of options. If you just want to capture […]
