I like most of the analysis but not crazy about the implied association between quality and gear. Better gear expands the range of ideas you can realize, but there's no lack of beautiful shots in film history that were executed with natural light, a bounce board and a camera with fidelity far below what we can currently achieve with our smartphones. If a quality music video still requires people who know what they're doing, it's precisely because they'll help make the right creative choices to work within the limitations of the available gear/budget.
Also confused about the implication that bigger scale necessarily means a better video. It certainly makes it more movie-like, but music videos are their own art form and a good portion of the ones that became iconic were minimalistic or experimental in nature, like Beyonce's "Single Ladies" or Sinead O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U'.
I have made 4 music video now. Each video has shown a real improvement. Now I am shooting my 5 music video and the preproduction, (cause I have to pay a lot on my own) took me a whole months. It is a no budget music video a crew of 4 guys with me (director) and the singer included, during 3 days of shooting. Nobody is getting paid, but these guys believe in my vision for that video so they help me out. It is a quite elaborate music video concept that I have put together and usually it does demand at least 10000$ to make if everybody was getting paid, with insurance and equpiment and what not. But it is feasable and I believe that talented directors have to go some length and investing in their own projects to be recognized as a bankable director for budget shoots.
Do you have a video that highlights the work all of these music video creatives that you mentioned with examples? and explaining what they taught you? I would love to see it
Great historical account, learnt a ton! While I don't completely agree with the standpoint that lower budget filming gear isn't sufficient enough for music video production nowadays, I fully agree with you that creative narrative is a key element to make a music video stand out. I feel that what makes a 'low budget' video today is the lack of this narrative, which is easily felt and sorely missed by the audience.

Agree to disagree. Maybe just because you operate at a higher level than I do. But I can't afford 10k for a location plus another 2.5k for a permit not including what I'd pay for the video. I make music and record everything in my basement. Just recently took out my "chill spot" and put up drywall. Gonna paint soon. Already purchased a green screen, lights and all that. Location is always something I struggle with so I will always have a place to film soon
amazing video, great deep dive, clear and concise
You have helped me SO much with my school assessment bro. THANK YOU

Great breakdown! And I agree with James Rob: Production quality means nothing without a great concept.
but is it really all about that really expensive equipment or is it just luck of AI tools that are still in development category,,,, (:

You must have in yours videos in YouTube subtitulos in spanish for more audienc
I think the bitrate on the footage at 9:06 was higher than your export which caused the pixelation in that segment of footage.
you my man, are underrated !

Dude this is mind blowing. As a music video director this is a must watch
You are great!
How do you get into the world of higher budget music videos though? Luck / networking?
I’ve grown tired of creating music videos due to most artists, even labels cheaping out on damn near every single budget
Quit talking with your hands. Your words do well enough on their own. Your hands are just distracting.
I Loove this video. Great content worthy of time and support. Thank you! Keep it up!
