F.A.Q!! How did you get into making music videos?/How do I get into the industry?
A friend of mine at University got his band - 'The Rotted' signed to Metalblade Records, he liked my work and had seen a couple of my skate videos so he asked me to shoot his band a video. There's two ways to get into the industry as far as I can see, either become a runner and graft, or buy a video camera and shoot, shoot, shoot as much as you can, beg bands to let you work for them, and make it happen.

What Qualifications do you need to be a Music Video Director?
I'll be honest, no band or client has ever asked what qualifications I have, I think they are more concerned with the quality of the work/ideas. That's not to say UNI isn't worthwhile, just make sure you try and broaden your horizons whilst you're there, no one is gonna hand you a job just because you got a 1st.

Will you shoot my band a video?
I love to hear from new bands, contact me via myspace or email me at adamtpowell@gmail.com, with a link to your band and ideally the track and we can discuss ideas

What are your rates?
please get in touch for details.

Can I run for you/make tea?
Yes, probably, your best bet is to keep an eye out for any bulletins I post asking for runners. If you're not going to show up on the day PLEASE just don't bother getting in touch.

What gear do you use?
I use mainly Panasonic cameras, whatever lights I can get my hands on and edit on Final Cut Pro, you shouldn't be worried about what gear I use. Just do it because you love it and the rest will come :)

video done

and i actually like it which is very rare for me
i tend to never like my own work and its not fishing for compilments
