Great music videos are actually short films.  Most artists refer to their music as stories, and a music visual has the ability to breathe life into the lyrics and provide imagery for the viewer.  Visuals can be extremely creative and cinematic, a re-enactment of the lyrics exactly, or they can be a performance type visual using the artist as the main character.  No matter the format, music videos can actually create more interest for a song for the viewer or fan, thus creating a more loyal fanbase.  As a producer, Joey is thorough in his ability to oversee treatment writing, casting, location scouting, logistics, and the financing of a project.  MTV quality visuals range between $4,000 to $100,000 and up.  Budgets are dependent on scope and detail of each individual project.  Inquire about your vision!
