In this workshop, we will work through the basics of producing music videos from low to high budgets. Where do the jobs come from, How do we win, how to put them together, and most importantly how do we survive them? Wrapped and packaged into a healthy and safe conversation about one of the toughest industries in filmmaking. We'll cover:

  • What is producing?
