FTI Presents THE FUTURE OF MUSIC VIDEO SEMINAR
6 May 2009
Organisation
As part of the 2009 WAMi Festival, FTI presents the Future of Music Video, a seminar on the online viewing environment of music videos.
Aimed at musicians and filmmakers The Future of Music Video will address how you ensure your video is seen in a user-programmed environment.
In 1981, MTV revolutionized the music scene by offering viewers access to music videos 24 hours a day. The first video played was “Video Killed the Radio Star” by The Buggles. Initially, music videos were a relatively cheap way to promote bands to a mass audience. However, in 1983 the launch of the 14-minute short film/music video “Thriller” changed the way the world thought about music videos. Many music videos have cost millions of dollars – Guns N Roses anthem ‘November Rain’ cost in excess of $1.5 million dollars with the band paying for it themselves to retain creative control. But with dedicated music channels in decline, music executives are less inclined to spend big on videos. Music videos are now predominantly viewed online. How do you ensure your video is seen in a user-programmed environment?
