- director-jamie thraves
- made short films at university
- used award winning short film as a calling card to get a foot in the door with the video production company factory films
- began by shooting three very low budget musicvidoes-cost about £5,000 each
this is how the process works
- a commissioner from a record label sends a track to 5-10 directors
- the directors then each submit a treatment this stage is unpaid
- the director who has submitted the best treatment is the commissioned to make the video
- only then is the director paid
- as can be seen for many directores in business it is a precarious existence where thier liveihood is dependent on each commission
- jamie thraves submitted treatments for his twobest known videos and each was accepted
- jamie thraves-most recent video japanese popstars-song for lisa
- currently videos cost about £20,000
- shooting time was 2 days
- jamie has used the music videos to get into the film business
