Video blog where director Estevan Oriol laments the state of the music video industry. It's YOUR fault!

         

Who gives a shit what you think, you chief. You are utterly irrelevant.

         

the music video game is for the young, sorry.

         

Hahahaha. Is this a new trend? dudes uploading vids of bitchin'?

VBlogs are for people who aren't working.

Ok, unless your name is on the top 10 most agree we don't wanna hear ya. Right?

         

his gangster portraits are good, but his videos, come on.

         

Wow, you guys are a bunch of jerks. He has a point about selling yourself short to get ahead. How does that not make sense to any of you? I don't think any of you would be upset unless you are whoring yourselves out as well. Tell me I'm wrong.

Ok you bunch of 10 year olds, let's start the comments.

         

He does have a point, it's just expressed in a rambling incoherent way. His videos are hardly inspirational, but that doesn't mean he's wrong. Having said that, it's not exactly helpful to reduce the complex dynamics of the industry to "you guys fucked up the game." Not a particularly original sentiment either. Which begs the question of why he would bother. As Alanedit said "VBlogs are for people who aren't working". I guess you could say that goes for people on MV message boards as well...

         

Best antville post title everrr

         

Nobody fucked anything up. Things just changed, as they always do. The concept of music videos is a new one. To suggest that it was a concept that would stick around forever in it's original form is naive.

This is also a drastic over-simplification that doesn't take into account the massive changes in the music industry itself.

         

Yeah I got nothing against this guy; I can imagine it's frusturating. But it shows he really has no concept of how awful the music industry is doing. Bands that use to sell 2M records now sell 200K.

Never mind the fact that in the past 20 years, most music video director's careers only last about 3-5 years. There are hundreds of guys that were working in the 90s, who now aren't even represented. The only ones we remember are the superstars who "graduate" onto bigger and better things.

But music videos have been made by just-graduated film students forever. And it will continue.

This is like Crazytown complaining that they would still be big stars if it wasn't for all these younger bands that emerged and stolen all their fans.

         

Oh boy.
