Hey everyone,
I'm in the process of trying to get hired to direct a music video for a signed artist. I'm just wondering if there's a pretty standard way that this all works and if anyone has any experience with it. What I'm confused about is the hiring/payment methods. From what I understand, the label hires a production company, who represents the director. The Label already gave a budget, so when I shoot and edit and all is said and done and I stay within the budget, how is my compensation decided? Is this something I will need to arrange with the Label beforehand? Also who takes care of hiring and whatnot, because it sounds like I will have to find some equipment on my own, etc. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!
