Music Video Creation. Tips on making a Music Video: There are so many ways to approach it. There are the professional artists and musicians and then there are local crews. Local artists with whom a music video you can visualize with no problem.

Get to know the music that you are working with. Get to know it like your life depended on it. Understand when it flows drops skips flips and reruns. That way your are gonna be a master of the tool you are working with...the music element.

You are the music maker of the eye. The visual candy giver. Take this feel the music. What story do you want to tell the viewers about the music and the visuals you chose. Tips on camera angles and why you chose them. What is your story to be told?

More tips on making a music video: For an Editor it's a must to know your software. Avid or Final Cut Pro are the top leaders. Know this tool. Music in a film is usually subliminal now in a music video it's the video that is playing the subliminal part. Choose the music that resonates with your soul and something that you can relate to.

Can't Miss Indie Rock Shows Coming Up In New York City

By Johnny Moon

Scumbo on February 23rd at Freddy's Backroom in Brooklyn. Another Brooklyn based psychedelic band. Scumbo will be putting on their much talked about insane live show at Freddy's which is one of the coolest small venues in Brooklyn. Come see (if you can) why they are called "The Hardest Band To See In The Dark."

Of Montreal on March 9th and March 10th at Irving Plaza in Manhattan. Of Montreal are one of the bands to emerge from the Elephant 6 collective. While they are not as out there as The Olivia Tremor Control and certainly don't pack the emotional punch of Neutral Milk Hotel they are certainly an interesting band and they are touring in support of their latest album "Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?" Visit Of Montreal on MySpace.The Appleseed Cast on March 17th at the Knitting Factory in Manhattan. The Appleseed Cast were "emo" before every kid on MySpace. Then they listened to Kid A and started getting weird (and much better.) Their Low Level Owl albums are the ones to get.

The Decemberists on March 21st and March 22nd at Landmark Loews Theater in Manhattan. The Decemberists latest album was a big step forward in my opinion. They have a tendency to get very "samey" with too many listens but their latest album The Crane Wife showed that they are starting to get a bit more interesting. I'm curious to see what they do next. (they have their whole album "The Crane Wife" available to be heard on MySpace currently.)

Sebadoh on March 31st at Webster Hall in Manhattan. Sebadoh are among the forefathers of modern "indie rock." This is a bit of a reunion tour for them as they haven't released a new album since 1999. Sebadoh frontman Lou Barlow other projects have included being the bass player for Dinosaur Jr. and fronting The Folk Implosion.
