We have been invited to take a seat at this years Raindance Film Festival, but this time not to watch great independent films. This time we are officially invited to watch a selection our very own promos as part of the festival. We shall then join a panel to discus the nuts and bolts of conceptualising, directing and promoting successful music videos with a live audience. The panel will be made up of UK music video directors who've secured commissions and it'll be chaired by Caroline Bottomley, founder and director of Radar. We'll be looking at specific music videos made by each director and discussing how we came up with ideas, how we presented the treatments and the practical aspects of prepping, shooting and post on very low budget. We'll also cover how the videos were then promoted, what worked, whether and how the videos got popular. We shall discuss how we approached directed promos for Coldplay, The Detachments, St Thug, The Senses and Just Jack all in the space of one year.
