Mon, 07.12 Music Pool Berlin Community Evening #23 - Musik Video

Eileen Möller — Wed, 02 Dec 2015 13:38:18 +0000

Monday, 7 December, 2015 - 19:30

This community evening is about the art of music video.

Different music video makers and artists will provide an insight into their work. They will screen some of their music videos and talk about them (e.g. about the collaboration with the musicians, the story of the video, production, budget etc.), and will provide advice on what to think about when making your own music video. We will particularly look into music videos that were produced on a relatively small budget.

You have your songs ready, but then how to present them online? As a musician, film making and visual art may not be your top expertise, so how to go about making your own music video? How do video directors and producers approach music video making, and what kind of advice can they give to musicians?
