In an ever-changing industry, innovative videographers continue to make striking and distinctive work in collaboration with artists. This talk will shed light on the collaborative process between video makers and songwriters, uncovering how the two work together.

This talk and showcase of work, will present vital information for artists considering how to represent themselves visually.
