TuneVid is launching a unique professional music video service for independent artists, bands and songwriters. Their concept is fairly simple, but the approach is affordable and completely new.
When an artist or band signs up for a TuneVid music video, they receive a packet of specific questions about their vision for their video. They send the song, lyric sheet, and question sheets back to TuneVid, and schedule a meeting with a pro video producer.
The producer and band, together, plan a specific storyboard and shot list, and a camera is sent to the band. The band uses the camera to get exactly what they want, returns the footage on the camera, and TuneVid assigns a professional editor to create the video. The band has the option of making changes and approving the editing.
"The beauty of TuneVid is it's a totally professional product," said Janet Fisher, founder of the company. "A pro music video for an indie usually starts around $5,000-$15,000. TuneVid is creating competitive product for under $500. It's absolutely perfect for a singer or band who doesn't have access to big budgets, or doesn't live close to an industry town."
"Having a bad hair day?" chuckles Fisher, "Just shoot that scene tomorrow. You control the shooting schedule. As long as you cover the shot list, you'll be good."
What if a musician gets inspiration to shoot things not on the shot list? "No problem," says Fisher, "as long as you get all the planned shots on the list, you can shoot anything else you like. We can incorporate whatever makes your video work for you."
Recently Sony Music Group and Veoh, and non-directly, YouTube.com, benefited from a $300 million dollar deal made with Dubai investors to develop music videos. Major labels have declared music videos to be the "new radio" for breaking artists. The problem for most working bands was always that a really well-edited video cost thousands of dollars to produce. TuneVid's goal is to allow their clients to obtain similar videos for the web, but at an affordable price.
"I can't believe it looks this great," says professional videographer Randy Barret. "It looks like a really expensive shoot."
TuneVid will also host your video, give you a copy of the code for YouTube and your site, and work with you on any special requests you may have. You can see an example of recent videos shot with their system at TuneVid.com.
