I do not pitch my music video treatments to potential clients anymore because I’ve had several instances where they take my treatment to a less expensive video director. These days it’s more of “you’ve seen my projects and you like them, before I start on the treatment we already have an agreement to deposit a fixed fee that’s serve as a collateral/consultation fee for my treatment in case they decide to go else where.
Thank you very much for the tips Danny! I was struggling with my graduation project and now I think I can start organizing what's in my head and make it real. Thank you!
Great tips! The thing that worries me is that they are simply asking around for treatments just to gather ideas for themselves. Not sure if that's ever happened though
I like the process you go through. Everyone has their thing. I'm about to post a sweet music video soon. Stay tuned. I'll send you the link when it's posted. It's a james bond style video with 3d, green screen, special effects
Great information brother. Listening to a song over and over is what i have been doing for this weekend music video. Definitely have my wife fed up with that song but glad to know others are doing that too lol
Great tips @Danny but I usually don’t script till an advance is made. I adopt similar approach to sell my pitch only after payment has been made. This way they are committed. If they don’t like it I can re pitch my idea cos people have taken my ideas like this so many times so I stopped. Will this make me loose big clients? I know this is an old video but if you find this I’d appreciate a response, thanks and keep up the great work
Great tips.! Thanks! Any tip on how to become a listed vendor for labels to begin with? LOL. I have made some 30+ music videos in the last decade over here on the east coast, all for independent artist. Most of my income happens from branding pieces for larger companies but as a former gigging musician myself, making music videos is favorite type of work. I have the portfolio, just need to know where to submit! Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Danny!
hi I'm gonna like help a junior of mine back in secondary school to create a music video, then I came across this video of yours :D thank you so much for making this video, now I am going to start planning something out! Thank youu
I know that you shouldn't take it too personally when your project idea gets rejected or, worse, when you don't even get an answer but...man, it's sooo frustrating! I am totally aware of how it works, though: someone...let's call this person... *Vito* . So, Vito gets a bunch of ideas sent to him and he can only choose one and which project will be chosen depends on so many things: Did Vito get laid the night before or that same morning? Did his coffee machine break that morning and forced Vito to get coffee from some other place? Was there a car accident on Vito's way to work that morning and made him get stuck in traffic for hours before he could finally get to his office and start going through all the project ideas sent to him? You get the idea, so many things can influence "Vito" and make him prefer someone else's project, not because yours was bad but...because that morning, Vito broke his shoelace and the main character of the chosen project was wearing shoes with that velcro strapping system... So yeah, I'm aware of all that but still, it always stings when your project gets rejected because...maybe it's just me but to me, when someone rejects my project, that project is a part of me, so it's like *I* am being rejected! Makes sense? Or is it just me? Anyone?
Great video Danny, super usful and presened perfectly! I have a question pls, in which platform\software are you using for your music videos treatments?
I have a question. How would you suggest going about finding a WRITER for a music video? I feel like it's easier to find a director/camera guy & editor, but finding a WRITER...iono where to find em. Any advice would help....
This is a great info. Have you experienced something like this, you send your idea/treatment and artist moves on with somebody else to make the video, but they use your initial idea? What would you do in such case?
So what if you’re new to directing you have a really good concept make a really good treatment and they accept but you don’t have the equipment to produce the video how you want it?
Do you try to get the highest quality screen grab to place as an image in your treatment and do you colour them in the way your video you're imagining?

I usually just full screen, screen grab something I like. Doesn't have to be perfect.
