Choosing the right music video production team

When you’re ready to make a music video, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is choosing the right production company. Experience, style and budget all matter.

Do your research

Before contacting anyone, look at production companies’ websites, watch their videos and read their reviews.

Consider your budget

Set a budget before you shop around. Cost varies with the length of the video, the complexity of the shoot and the location.

Think about your style

Narrative, performance, or something else entirely? Once you know, look for teams that specialize in that style.

Get recommendations

Ask musicians you know who’ve made videos. They’ll have real insight into the companies they’ve worked with.

Interview companies

Once you’ve narrowed it down, talk to them. It’s your chance to ask questions and get a feel for their personality and style.

Go with your gut

If you’ve found a team you trust that shares your vision, go with them. A music video is a big investment, and a great way to promote your music and connect with fans.
