    Thanks for this information. Now, what does "independent artist" mean in this case.

I want to keep on working together with that distributor as I've only started since May 20 having this work done by it/him.

      Everyone starts somewhere so while lots of it seems self evident now for a beginner this could be the clear and straightforward video they needed. The video is obviously not aimed at you so there's not point leaving sarcastic comments complaining that the video wasn't for you. If this is something you enjoy I can just send you some links to peppa pig youtube videos for you to shit on.
