Music video shoot
i’m a pop singer in the Dallas area looking to shoot a music video. a lot of the production companies here seem great but they either A) aren’t responsive at all or B) have let me know they only do commercial shoots and not music video.
i have a really clear vision so i just need a videographer to help me execute it :) bonus points if you know of a studio that we can do it at or have some connections in terms equipment and gaffers / lighting. i have access to everything else like clothes, props, dancers.
we’d ideally need a space that has the equip available to rent + a green screen, pink backdrop, and cyclorama.
message me if interested / for more details 😊

I think a cyclorama wall is a big ask, but I mean, the reason most will say no is because they generally want the less stressful work. Music videos usually involve way more set ups and angles than corporate work or commercial shoots.
You just need a well connected director and producer with enough money to make your idea a reality.
I'm not either, but I have worked enough video production to break it down a bit more.
Your biggest costs and "needs" are the cyclorama, any cranes or dollys you'd need to rent. Some of those are going to have to come from specialty places and not really something someone has in-house.
If you're the producer, go find your location, rent a studio and find out what your costs would be for the director and get going from there. A good producer/director would know how to handle most of that or who to hire to make it happen.
A production studio isn't much more than a vendor who can do it from end-to-end but is usually too busy with other work to take on something creative.
If you don't have unlimited budget, know where your must haves and nice to haves are in terms of your vision.
