dont you think its kinda early to shoot a video? Didnt you just start with this music thing? you should put that money towards other forms of promo, then after you get established, make a video

Hit your boy if you need a storyboard...got a 4 year degree in 2/D Animation / Movie and Commercial Storyboard...

And Rusto - it's never too early to shoot a video. It's never too early to mix your album correct, master it, get glossy photos, make flyers...etc...aka promote.

But...if you're going to do it...PLEASE do it right. Videos are shot lately by the seat of someone's pants...a real video starts with a concept, then a photo treatment, then storyboard, then filming, then proper editing, etc.

My .09 cents.

the music industry is changing, and now with the popularity of youtube a video might make more sense then promoting a single with fliers, posters, and all that other shit.....I mean look at Soulja Boy, that foo got his deal because of youtube

What avenue are you going to use the video for? Are you going to print them up on DVD and hand them out as promotions? Use it on Youtube?
Do you have a dream of seeing it on MTV or VH1? Whats the goal for it?

P.S.
If you print them up as DVD, I think I can get my boss to include them in an issue of our Magazine for a small fee. So lets say you press up 5,000 of them, in 5,000 of our 150,000 Magazines your Video on DVD would be inside.

I think you need to build a fanbase before you even think about a video. Drop that money on a good quality album. Unless the video is MTV quality($100,000) its not going to help your sales just hurt your pocket.

Put that money in Rob Lo, Vince V or another talented up n coming producers pocket to get some top qulaity beats and that shit will help way more then any video ever will.

At this point in your career, a video is the last thing you should focus on. Drop it on a website or promotion then a video.
