In the sixteen years since MTV first began airing music videos, the style, techniques, and structural language of this new art form have redefined the film medium, heavily influencing movies, television, music, and pop culture itself. In this book, students will learn every step needed to create a music video, from conception to budgets to the final editing. Each stage of the production process is illuminated by interviews with the industry's best-known video directors (including Spike Jonze, Kevin Kerslake, and Jesse Peretz), producers, technicians, recording artists, label executives, and music network programmers. In addition, dozens of sidebar notes define the terms, crew functions, equipment, supplies, and other information.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Definitly worth the money !,
By A Customer
This review is from: You Stand There: Making Music Video (Paperback)
I bought this book while preparing for the shooting of my first music video. How often do you read a book and find yourself going like: yes, that happened to me too, I recognize the frustation, the excitement, etc. etc. Although written from a definite USA/MTV experience, it was very useful for me in Portugal. No doubt, a great book !

"An updated, informative guidebook that puts you on-track",
By A Customer
This review is from: You Stand There: Making Music Video (Paperback)
This book has filled in the holes of my knowledge of the music video industry. It is helpful for both novice and the advanced. I personally felt connected to the way the people in this book were creating videos. Well worth the price for someone like me that's interested in persuing this as a career path.

"Excellent book. The only one of it's kind!,
By A Customer
This review is from: You Stand There: Making Music Video (Paperback)
After searching the web for months for music video production "how to's" and finding ZERO, this book is a pleasent but needed suprise. It is unbelieveable to me that there has not been a professional book written on how to make music videos since the format has been around over 20 years! This book is very comprehensive with a lot of insider tips and tricks from the people who do it everyday. I only wish it had more technical info such as lip sync secrets while shooting but because of the abundance of all the other info, you'll overcome any problem. Because this is the only book of it's kind in publication, it is a must to anyone aspiring to put a band on MTV! Aloha Jeff Mahon
