This is only my second music video EVER, and quite possibly the most challenging thing I've done to date with basically no money attached. I wrote the concept, worked with others developing styleboards and directed the all greenscreen shoot which was shot on a soundstage in N. Hollywood. I did it partly to prove I could, and because I'm really sick of the pretentious attitudes circulating amongst filmmakers over technique. Anyone can pull this stuff off with the right amount of planning, thought, courage to tackle difficult tasks and a strong network of friends.
After all the labor, the record label has had the temerity to try and stop me from disseminating a video I made for them - completely for FREE, stating that I am "infringing upon THEIR copyright." I guess they have never heard of the legal concept quantum meruit. I may have retain legal counsel, and allow the attorneys to enlighten them.
Here's to the indie spirit. Now go shoot something.
