Jamie Thraves
Jamie made short films at university.
used Award winning short films as a calling card to get a foot in the door with the video production company Factory Films.
He began by shooting three very low budget music video costing about £5,000 each.
This is how the process works :
A 'Commissioner' from a record label send a tack to 5 - 10 Directors
The director then each subtracts a treatment.
This stage is unpaid.
The Director who has submitted the best treatment is the commissioned to make the video.
Only then the director is paid.
As can be seen for many director in the business it is a precision existence where their livelihood is dependent on each commission.
Jamie Thrave submitted treatment for his two best known videos and each was accepted.
1. RadioHead - Just Cost up to £100,000 and it was shot in three days
2. Coldplay - The Scientist cost £200,000 and it was shot in three days.
One of Jamie Thraves Latest videos is Japanese pop star , song for Lisa and the video cost £20.00 and only took 2 days.
