Is it possible to promote your music efficiently and gain new real fans with 0 dollars?

  1. .....and let's not forget what it is you plan on filming. Before the cameras, lighting, directors, crew, caterers, assorted personnel who aren't working for free... you need to know in advance every second of your four minute film. These guys aren't going to show for you to say, "let's just make stuff up as we go along"

    Promotion importance is very clear.
    One of the biggest hits aha “take on me”. Was unnoticed with their first video.(1984)
    The next year they re- promoted the same song with a new video(1985) , and succeeded.

  3. I'm one of the guys running around with a gun. I played keyboards and did backing vocals. A lot of money was spent on this. Still didn't chart well. So in short, there are no guarantees.

    Sorry if I'm being rude. It is hard to understand what you try to address. I speak a couple of languages, but I can not identify any of those being the origin to your "accent". Where are you from?
    Your sentence could be changed to "people who want (put in whatever is not so affordable) at an affordable cost". Yes, that will probably never change. But this applies to almost everything, not just music or videos.

    What is so expensive? The combination of a PC and a panasonic G9? I consider that very friendly to enter cinema grade videos. Or do you mean the people who set-up camera cranes, lighting, cranes for 300kg lenses, etc. and make a cinematic work out of it?
    You seem to focus on cinema grade videos so much. Maybe contact a local film school, there are so many people having access to that pro level equipment, you will definetely be satisfied. By the way, when you approach them with your (hit) song, they will very much like to be part of the rising star movement that you are on.

    To be honest, you don't need cinema grade videos to go straight up. You could make a freakin unique piece of art just with your iphone or a gopro.

    Come on! Show us your song! Let us help you get there.

    Edit:

    Please stop demotivating the OP. Of course I feel sorry for that work not charting well.

    Mr. Lenny it didn't chart because that quality is not good. I promise you if you made the same video with camera of this caliber it would have charted.

     
  9. You have no idea. It was cinema quality and if you missed it, it had a huge cast, big location shoot, multiple camera setup. The military props alone cost thousands. It was 1983 and this is a copy from a VHS recording. A pro video does not guarantee success. I don't know how many people have to tell you this. Now where's your hit tunes?

    These two were made in 1983 as well



    and




    and looks alot better than what you posted....

    I am not scolding your project but you are trying to say that cutting edge tech/cameras that we don't have access too and doesn't matter as it's ALL about your concept and that is not true....

    Only a fool thinks he can't learn from anyone. You can learn from everyone. Experience is irrelevant.
