Cone of Silence
Happy Birthday to the 'Ville.
The first in a series of 30frames interviews with music video industry insiders. Enter the cone of silence.
wow:
"MV production companies have never banded together in a positive way to make a stand with their client base. It’s no coincidence that the commercial standard is to have three directors compete for any given job while in videos it’s not uncommon three of our directors write on a given track. [That is just at one company,] so do the math, it’s possible that 10-20 directors are writing for certain tracks. That is insane and foolish."
... I had no idea.
Its laziness and indecision at the label level that accounts for that crazy number. Usually they have no idea what they want so they just fish around blindly until they can find something middle of the road that won't make them look stupid at their next marketing meeting.
LOVE IT
