  • I've been shooting music videos for a few years now. I've learned a few things in the world of bigger budget productions. Now budget size is relative, I know. In this video we'll break down the budget of a $15,000 project.

    As someone in the middle of that change from low budget music videos to more medium sized budgets and small crews, this was extremely valuable to see everything the way you organized it. And as a lot of people have said, thank you for the transparency on the actual numbers. Your channel has an insane amount of value !

    Thanks! Two questions:
    - When did you receive money from the client? Upfront? After the final cut? Half and half?
    - Have you ever heard of We Direct Music Videos? They not only fight for music video directors and producers rights but they also provide a ton of treatments on their website.

    Yo good brother! I thank you a ton for putting this video out. This a true testament to your genuineness towards fellow and aspiring creatives. You have my word when I get to the level I want to reach, I would extend the same courtesy to the world and won't forget that you were one of the ones that inspired me, and helped with such videos. I know it was personal for you to share this budget, when I heard you say that, I had to drop a genuine comment from the heart brother. Peace and love. Happy New Year. Continue to inspire us and be great! If you are ever in NYC/NJ area I'd be more than happy to come help on set free of charge, cause what you teach on this channel is worth wayyy more than what we watch it for.

    I'm still only starting out as a freelancer, half of my work is still free, half is paid - been watching and learning from you for ages. Do you think you could do a video soon where you go into the more beginner/semi-pro fields of producing a shoot? I have people I use as set designers, a 1st AD that shares the producer role with me, as well has hair/mua artists - but still working with budgets that are under £1500. Would really love your advice

      Look if no one else will tell you.. I will..... AWGE creates visuals that are a chase to the bottom, hot garbage. Horrible cinematography and cheesy effects attempt to mask their lack in actual talent or creativity. Nothing worse than a group of trash ass dudes running around with cameras thinking they making movies! It's a chase to the bottom in this industry. AWGE and others like them are ruining the music video industry. JS

  • @elitestar

    You overpaid yourself and producer. The producer should be making 5%, you can be at 20% as EP/director/editor. DITs are also unnecessary on small shoots. Studio 60 I’ve been able to shoot for $1000 for a big favor job. In my opinion, the more big jobs you work, the easier it is to get favors from past crew and vendors
