You can absolutely make a music video on zero budget! Here I share some tips and information that can help you to create your own unique music video with spending zero monies. You don't need any fancy equipment, just a good smart phone, quite a bit of creativity and time to spend researching and planning.

Having music videos is an important part of the promotion process for your songs so don't shy away from having a go. Steer clear of trying to recreate 'classic' elements of music videos though and try and create something that hasn't been done before.

If you haven't yet created a brand and aesthetic then please see these videos which will help you in those areas:

I’m a music industry creative director working on a freelance basis with a range of music artists/bands, genres and record labels. I create complete visual profiles, aesthetics, brand identities, concepts and art direction for music videos/photo shoots, stage design, in depth social media marketing campaigns and album artwork designs/illustrations. I also coach artists in branding, mindset, goal setting and social media.
I work predominantly with exaggerated visual heavy brands and always make sure the end result is authentic and genuine to the artist.
