What is Music Video Production all about?
- A picture paints a thousand words and likewise a video sells a whole new side to your songs.
- We have excellent video production facilities and use a highly reputable film maker who has worked on many films, for various TV stations and made adverts for companies across the world. We are lucky that Barry works freelance to us. With Green Screen technology on hand and an inspirational creative eye we feel our choice in collaboration with a film maker is excellent.
- After your songs are produced at Born in a Barn Studio we like to encourage you to do more.
- A music video can help you express the other sides of the songs that music alone cannot.
- A video captures peoples attention span in a different way and further encourages the listener to engage with the song, rather than move on through the list.
So if you like the idea of having a professional video made, here are 2 links to help you decide:
Link to RantProds 'the making of' the video for Axil Rose shot in Skegness 2011.
Link to RantProds 'the making of' the video for Jordan Williams shot in Coventry 2011.
Or, watch this video staring Jordan Williams and Lauren Abbott aka Mr & Miss Coventry 2011:
Why use a Professional Film Making Company?
- Anyone can make a video - check.
- Nowadays nearly everyone has a camera &/or a phone and can whack a picture on a MP3, then add it to YouTube as a MP4 - wow!
- Most people can hang a door but if you want it doing well you get a carpenter - an old cliche but it's still true today - use someone who does something everyday and you buy their experience.
- The vision of what your song says is better interpreted by a 3rd party (not always - agreed) and if you let someone else free with your song after a consultation we guarantee you will be blown away.
- Even pro video companies are less expensive these days since it's now more about the following & popularity of the video rather than simply having a video in place.
- You will be shot through the best cameras and do things you wouldn't imagine possible, since they have more gear and know how to use it - would you know how to strap a camera to a car?

Included for your amusement and to contrast the lovely HD films above this was shot by us on a flip camera. The video was shot before the song was actually completed giving it an extra charm - you had to be there!
