I shall shortly be directing my first 'proper' music video.

Anyone have any tips to share?

Sure. But fist tells us a few things:

1)what equipment are you going to use

2)what's your budget

3)what's the concept/idea

4)what kind of music

Assuming the track is already recorded, as long as they lip-sync to that on-location, when it comes to editing, it should match perfectly.

Don't try and record the sound on location. I've found it doesn't work.

Hi,

There is a book on Music Video making called "You Stand There".

Sorry for not replying sooner, I've had my head up my ass the last few days. Don't EVER become a producer, or else be prepared to say goodbye to your social life...

My main concern is being able to get lip-synching right. Were shooting on Hi-8 video and editing on our new PC editing system. We'll be using a clapperboard - just a normal one, not these new-fangled time-code ones.

How do we ensure that the music matches the images (or vice versa)? That's our chief problem.
