Fwilly-
Here are some quick ideas:
- Consider working for another videographer to learn the ropes of marketable video.
- Hang out, if you're old enough, at bars or venues where new bands are getting started. Offer your services.
- Don't be afraid to build a resume of projects before your bank account (if possible). You need samples to show and experience describing your work and what's in it for *them.*
- Word of mouth is hugely valuable, so be ready to take the time and effort to build up quality work that requires.
- Go by poptent.com/creativenetwork and check not only the assignments, but what has won in the past. Try a few assignments, they may not take long to produce, and you'll learn a lot by comparing yours to what won.
- Craigslist.
- Brainstorm; if folks in your area teach something (yoga, horse riding, etc..), they might like to pay you a little to produce a teaching video. Where do *they* hang out? Got an email or hardcopy flyer to send them?
Good luck, and have fun!
