Ok. Thanks for that explanation.

Just a musician hoping to find a film maker to work with at some point. No rush. But how to you get to know what skills each person here has, so you can begin to narrow down who you might want to invite to a future job you will eventually post here and on job boards?

"you could DM the director on here"--I don't know what this means.

So, how I do I find your profile here? Still learning. Thanks.

Ok. I will watch for categories of video genres and see if I can begin to narrow things down here--figure out who has the skills and the style I would want to hire and then ask directly. I am more accustomed to job boards than to discussion boards. I am learning though.

Ok. I am just learning how to use a discussion board. Maybe that is part of the problem in not knowing where to look for further detail.

If you don't know the person's name, how could you look them up?

One of my questions is yet to be answered. Let's say I see a video here, the directing style of which lends itself to the type of song/music video I would want to produce. So, I would have that director's one sample video--here. How would I find more work samples from that same director. If I...

Oh. I see how that could happen either way--song first or write a song for a film. Yes. I am aware of issues with rights. As a musician, I am brainstorming ways I might be able to work with an indie film maker. So, in this case, if an indie producer or director had general concepts in place but...

Is there a way I can organize the Videos page, so I can quickly find and watch specific genres?

Nate. I wish I had read your response again--before I responded to your recent post. In high school, I could never keep track of characters in novels, so it isn't surprising that I am having difficulty understanding who is who here. Several years ago, I discovered the character maps on...

I agree. Unfortunately, we realized this as a result of Covid.

Never mind. I guess I didn't read most of the posts before I responded. Some of the posts may not have been available to me. Looks like you have most of the visual and technical knowledge you need and shouldn't have any trouble finding collaborators and whatever type of success you are looking...

Oh, yes. Now, I remember. I just thought of another--Dolly's "9 to 5." Seems like a very straight forward way to come up with a script and have some of the music from the get go. Do you think most film people prefer to use scripts written from "scratch" or scripts based upon novels and other...

I'm a musician jumping into this discussion a bit late. I scanned most of the other comments first. Nate, I have been perusing the Raindance website and found an article about going solo. FYI, I am currently working on my fifth self-written, self-recorded, self-produced full-length album. Not...

How common or uncommon is it for a full-length film--not a music video--to be developed around the lyrics of a specific song? Thanks.

Good to know. Thanks.

Work flow. I am glad you said that. I wouldn't have thought of that. I am use to hiring graphic artists to do logo design, album covers, and so forth, based upon what I describe to them. That is probably quite a bit less complicated than trying to put pictures to music or the other way around. I...

Maybe this isn't the right place to post this question. Are film people beginning to use virtual meeting platforms to work on some aspects of the film making process? I can imagine going this route to work on a music video.

Finding a film editor does sound less daunting. I'm just trying to learn a little lingo, so that when I am ready to post the job I sound like I know what I'm talking about. I might also attract a few more applicants to choose from. I wouldn't be prepared to start working on something like this...
