The best music videos come from good chats to absorb all the ideas, then marry these with the artist's marketing and branding aims.
And then of course - it's all about the art.

"Very impressive - and it is definitely the ideal kinda vibe for us"
Community orgs have to consider important influences from funders, professional colleagues, local networks and national policies - then their biggest responsibility is always to their community clients.
Nigel Walker
"Yep - it's a wrap. We probably need another discussion about how we work with distribution. We are building an audience for the launch. Thanks for everything!"
The film director's role continues after the film. It is important to share expertise and experience with premieres, film festivals, online distribution and Blu-Ray production.
This makes sure your films are seen.
