Live video I shot with XL2

I totally agree with the comments that you could be getting more for your work. It looks like you put a lot into the video and you should be getting more out of it, becuase it truly does look nice.
If I were you and I really wanted to do music videos, I would "follow the money" as it were. Think about who in your town is pulling in the big gigs? Who are the bands that are really serious about "making it?" You know, the few bands that are really gigging all over the place - going on "tours" etc. Think about going to them. What about management companies? Maybe you get into their circle and sell them on what a great promo tool the video would be. They might help fund it...just some ideas for you to think about. Good luck. Keep up the good work!

Yeah, being 19, it's fine for now. Sure I'm eating Ramen noodles everyday, morning/noon/night, but at least I don't have to go out and get a "real" job. Hopefully at some point I'll reach a point where the money does increase enormously. And it's not even my main "interest". I mean live videos are great, but I really want to do full-on music videos for a living.
Speaking of which, the band I did the live video for, Dremnt the End, did in fact pay for a full-on music video, which you can find here: www.suitedproductions.com/dte_stuck_small.html
The aspect ratio got squished a little for some reason, don't know why...
And Chris, I feel ya dude. Sounds like you're in a similar situation that I currently find myself in. But at least we get to do what we love (right?)
So is anyone else looking to become a music video director? I would love to have a career like Mark Romanek - music videos for a couple years, then break into feature filmmaking.
