Music videos are fun projects if you know what you’re doing.
This post was written by Mitchell Abraham.
Countless artists release music videos daily, but this one is slightly different. I spent two years working on it (on and off). 90 percent of it was shot on location with just one other person, and I handled all post-production myself (editing, color, VFX). You’re probably thinking, “Why the hell would anyone do that?” Before I answer, if you haven’t already, watch the video and read on if you’re curious.
I often wondered if my time and effort would be worth it. But what I gained was invaluable: an opportunity to learn about every aspect of filmmaking, which is essential when directing a team of talented individuals on more significant projects.
These lessons now guide me as I embark on my next project: a sci-fi heist feature film I’ve written and am currently in development. In this article, I’ll share some insights and advice I wish I’d known before I began. But remember, at some point, you have to take the plunge.
