from Radar HQ:
Radar's first music video commission hits the front pages!
RadarMusicVideos.com is
a new social network that gives filmmakers worldwide the chance to
pitch for music videos. Now 3 months old, their first completed
commission has just gone online where it's secured front pages on the
mighty YouTube, Dailymotion and Viddler. 28 Costumes, the band who
commissioned the video for £500 are ecstatic; "we're really happy with
the video, Will and George (the filmmakers) were great to work with and
we're over the moon about the coverage we're getting, it's amazing"
Radar Music Videos is an innovative social network combined with a
commissioning & promotion agency. The 800+ members worldwide, many
of them multi-award winning filmmakers, pitch on music video briefs.
It's a service catching on quickly with record labels, management and
unsigned bands alike. Budgets range from $10k/£5k to $1400/£700. Some
briefs are performance led, others are open, making production possible
anywhere from Argentina to Zambia.
Radar also offers aggregation and promotion for commissioned videos
across its channels on 20 online video sites. Radar's track record
includes securing 8 YouTube front page features, a MySpace feature and
630,000 votes on Dazed & Confused for a Kylie Minogue video,
results generated from previous music video competitions they ran for
clients like Mute, Mercury, Parlophone, Domino and Coke Music.
It's a unique approach to the business of music video and one that's looking very promising.
