Without publicity, a terrible thing happens... nothing!

Are you an unsigned artist trying to improve your chances of landing an album deal?
In a world where that “little bit extra” counts for so much more, a music video could make or break your future.
You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression.
In the scheme of promoting yourself, you might consider a video superfluous. You should think again. Competition is fierce, and today’s A&R people don’t attend as many gigs as they used to, so a video may be the only way they see you in action.
It is vital for your career that you use this valuable promotional tool to get the attention of label executives, club owners, or even stream it over the internet.
A music Video can be:
•The most exciting part of the promotional pack you send to A&R people, the media, and tour bookers
•A multi-media element of a enhanced CD release, viewable on fans computers.
•A vital tool in making a website come alive with a downloadable video sampler.
Music videos are a necessity if you want to take your music career to the next level. But how to create one without breaking the bank.
At Spirit of Play , we specialize in affordable music videos using our usual groundbreaking style of filming and editing to effectively feature and promote your talents.
A music video should be entertaining and interesting as well as appealing to the target audience of the music genre. Our videos are visually creative and original at the same time being marketed towards your core audience. We deliver MTV and VH1 worthy results on a shoestring budget.
We have years of experience and a long track record of productions, and of course we edit in house on state-of-the-art digital equipment. We create quality music videos that meet your needs with as much or as little creative input as you require. We work closely with artists to produce videos that reflect their style. Through the use of digital video technology (1080i/24 frame progressive film look) , we are able to achieve industry-standard results at competitive prices.
How can a music video help your career?
Music videos are the most powerful marketing tool to help artists showcase their talent and uniqueness. A music video can also spawn buzz in the industry and help musicians gain exposure. Music videos are to artists what television commercials are to brands. Just like television commercials help sell products, music videos help bands expose and "sell" their music.
Creating a memorable music video is much like growing an unusual mustache. It takes patience and nerve. During the early planning stages it may be difficult to perceive exactly what the finished 'tach' will look like. The growing period may be arduous, drawn out. The mustache's grower perhaps tempted by the easy clichés of fashion to compromise their original design.
But if he or she stays the course, remaining true to their vision, they will doubtless create something unique. While the finished 'mustache' may not be to everybody's taste it will stand out. It will entertain. It will provoke. It will inspire: a true original amid a tangled forest of more conventional styles.
