    Random question, for editing vlogs. Do you think having any music track under A-Roll/Talking moments takes away from the video? Should music only be used under B-Roll sequences?

    • @HillierSmith
      @HillierSmith  3 года назад +146

      An entire video about music is coming in the very near future... 😉
      But the short answer is music needs to reflect the action of the video. In the first ten seconds of this video, for example, I have electronic, bright music playing. When I say "$1,000,000" the music cuts out to highlight it...then the beat drops and the tempo picks up to show that having a $1,000,000 budget is exciting and that your mind races with possibilities. Then the music cuts out again when I reveal that it's only a $500 budget...So in the first 30 seconds, we've had about 4 music changes all to reflect the action of the video...TLDR: music should "yes and" the story.

    You may have only spent $500 in “raw materials” but your expertise, skill, experience, talent as a storyteller and artist is what makes that video worth A LOT more. I mean, how do you charge the client for your “Be An Artist” idea and the design of the video? If it only took you an hour to come up with it, does that mean you only charge your $125 hourly rate? No way!
    Plus, you should charge clients based on the value of the results your work gets, not the time and materials that went into making it. You’re not a commodity, Hillier! You’re an artist who can help clients solve problems and achieve their goals. That’s worth so much more than $500. 😎🤑
    Kinda wish this vid was about how you can charge $5k, $10k, $50k for a big time commercial but only spend $500 to do it.
    Seriously awesome work, though. Especially with those neon animations. 🙌🏻🤘🏻

    All in all it's a nice demonstration for non-professionals. But the final product does not have ANYTHING in common with any Apple commercial. So in the end it would be important to focus on WHY those commercials actually cost a lot of money! Stock Footage is gold for people working in our field but it's not the panacea and this is why the final video looks cheap and it looks like a random patchwork. Plus you are not talking about the cost of your work hours that is sharing a wrong message with the public and thus with the people who pays for this kind of products!
