Music Video Production for Musicians

For musicians and artists

Because Billie is part of EYWA Records, the video is planned with the release, not after it.

What Billie makes

Treatment written to the track
Performance and narrative video
Vertical cut-downs for release week
A matching visualiser or lyric video

On the shoot

Rights to the master

The video uses the final master, so the artist or label needs to own it or have cleared it, including any samples, before release.

Work back from the release date

The video, the vertical cuts and the press photos all need to be finished before the single goes out, so the plan starts from the release date and works backwards.

The service

Billie sits inside a record label, so music videos are core to what it does. Every video begins with the song: a treatment that fits the track and the artist, then a shoot planned around performance, story or both.

What’s included

Treatment and creative direction
Performance and narrative shoots
Styling and art direction
Edit cut to the track
Vertical cut-downs for release week

Which retainer suits

An artist releasing steadily can use Essential at $1,500 NZD a month for a regular production session, three edited pieces and five short-form edits, which suits release-week content and live sessions. A music video itself is usually quoted as Bespoke Production, since the treatment, cast and locations change the scope from song to song. Artists building a campaign across several singles may suit Creative at $3,000 NZD a month, which adds creative direction and concept development; the retainer guide sets out the difference.

Questions

Is this a paid service?

Yes. Billie is a paid production company. Production Retainers are $1,500 NZD a month for Essential and $3,000 NZD a month for Creative, and Studio Partner is priced on enquiry. Projects outside a retainer are quoted per project as Bespoke Production.

What should I send with an enquiry?

The track, or a demo if it is not mixed yet, the release date, a few references for the look you want and a rough budget. That gives Billie enough to come back with an approach and a quote.

What is included?

Treatment and creative direction, performance and narrative shoots, styling and art direction, edit cut to the track, vertical cut-downs for release week. The exact scope depends on the brief, and every quote is put together for the project.
