Music Video Production

BLARE Video in Los Angeles has been specializing in music video production since 2006. Shortly after receiving our Red One Ultra HD camera, we have been hard at work. We have become the stop for artists that want that high-quality-look without breaking the bank.

Here is one of our first music videos:

How much do music videos cost?

Major record labels and household named artists can easily spend $500,000 on a music video. Some have spent incredible amounts. In 1995, the Michael and Janet Jackson video “Scream” had an estimated $7,000,000 cost. Madonna has 3 music videos with an estimated cost of $5,000,000 or more. Most of these expensive music videos were produced during the golden age of MTV; the most recent high budget music video is Gwen Stefani’s 2016 “Make Me Like You”, which came in at around $4,000,000. After MTV started dedicating its programming to reality shows and the Internet blew up, labels and artists stopped spending as much on their music video production. Things are, once again, changing. Some might argue that we’re heading for another Golden Age of music video production; some artists are making more money off video views than record sales. That’s great news for production houses that specialize in music videos – not so much for a self-funded independent recording artist or artist signed to smaller labels and management companies. They may feel that it’s going to be harder to compete.

Solution for those looking to build or maintain a Brand!

Our clients put value on brand aesthetics. Think about it! This could be your first chance to make the right impression. It could also be pivotal to establishing your image. There’s no guarantee spending big money on a music video will catapult your music career. It’s also rare for viral cell videos to help launch a music career. While the cell phone videos Justin Bieber’s mother recorded help him become discovered, once he signed, Users label put plenty of money into his music videos and brand.

Some of our work:

Our most basic music video production package ensures that you will be seen in the best light and color! Since the Nicci Nix, we’ve been shooting just about every music video in 4K Ultra HD. With newer versions of the Red cameras, we can go up to 8K. Another thing that’s important to quality is the glass; having a good lens collection is key, but so is having a camera operator or director of photography (DP) that knows how to use it. Another important factor is lighting. Our grips and gaffers are skilled at lighting and can create the desired mood. Our whole crew works together to set up and dial in every shot. We don’t skip on attention to detail. Once it’s shot, our editors can spend 20-30 hours on the edit, plus color grading/correction and revisions. The final product will look professional and polished! We like to say that we can make something pretty look prettier. See for yourself and check out our portfolio.

How much do our Music Videos Cost?

Music video production is both an exciting and intricate process. The first step always begins with conceptualization. This involves brainstorming about how the video will look and feel, what story you’d like to tell, and how you envision your music being visually represented. Insights and inspiration can be drawn from lyrics, musical attributes, the artist’s persona or even current societal trends, but ultimately, it’s about creating a concept that embodies your unique artistic identity. 

Pre-production is the next phase. This is the planning stage, where every detail, including locations, costumes, choreography, props, crew members, etc., is meticulously arranged. This phase also involves creating storyboards, which offer a visual representation of each shot of the video. A well-designed storyboard can act as a map throughout the production process; keeping everyone on track and ensuring no creative detail is overlooked. 

Then comes the production stage, where all planning efforts come to fruition. This is when the camera starts to roll, and your music video starts to take shape. On-set creativity and cooperation are crucial for a successful shoot. Transitioning from location to location, setting up shots, executing choreography flawlessly – all these require well-coordinated teamwork, patience, and focus. 

The final stage is post-production. This is where the raw footage is edited into a cohesive visual story. Color grading is performed to enhance or modify the colors and create a particular feel and mood. Special effects can be added, and the clips can be synchronized with the music. It is an essential phase that brings polish and finesse to your finished music video.
