OUR MUSIC VIDEO SERVICES
We love the marriage of moving images with music. But we also know that most artists (and their labels) can't afford tens of thousands of dollars for a music video -- and even fewer can afford to do one for every song on a new album. But there is a middle-ground between nothing and a 30-person, two-day, on-location shoot, and that's renewmedia's specialty. We take carefully selected licensed stock footage and mix it together with post-production effects and animations, to create a unique visual representation of a song. It's important to stress that each video we produce is carefully crafted to match, for example, the tone and style of an artist's previous works, or the look and feel of a new album and promotional campaign -- or something unique and totally off-the-wall!

LYRICS + CHARACTER + DUAL-ORIENTATION VIDEO
Our ultimate package, where we take character-focused stock footage, add on-screen lyrics, and ensure that the music video looks good horizontally (desktop) and vertically (mobile). "Good" means that all the key action throughout the video is properly framed no matter what device a user is on. If you want to reach a maximum audience, this package is for you.

LYRIC + CHARACTER VIDEO
This video that we did for L.A. band MUNA is another example of using multiple characters to tell the story of the song. Each line of the lyrics is matched with video that compliments -- or contradicts -- the vocals, in some cases suggesting that the writer is not being honest with herself. An added layer of creativity that we brought to this video is that stylistically it is a tribute to the 1998 German film "Run, Lola, Run," and uses many of the experimental techniques featured in that film.

CHARACTER VIDEO
Bringing an additional level of creativity, the story-driven video uses stock footage that matches the lyrics, either generally or specifically. In this example, we echo the story of loss and aging found in the song itself ("The Timing," from Canada's Jets Overhead.) A unique aspect of telling stories using stock footage is that it is rare to find enough clips of one actor or scene to span an entire 3-4 minute song, so multiple settings and characters are used to tell the story of the song.

LYRIC + ABSTRACT VIDEO
At this next level, we use non-lyric-specific visuals, as seen in this video we pitched for New Zealand indy-artist Fazerdaze. In this case we used abstract ink footage, to match the mood of the marketing around the release of her 2022 EP, "Break!" In other cases, we've used mountains, buildings or water, depending on the song and the artist.

SIMPLE LYRIC VIDEO
Our entry-level product, where we give a stylized, animated look to your song's lyrics, and synchronize each line to its proper place in the piece. An example is a video we did for a remix of New York's The Knocks 2022 hit, "Slow Song," featuring Dragonette. The background is a 5-sec animated loop based on a still from the music video done for the original "Slow Song" release. Note that this example would incur additional charges because it is six minutes long -- our starting fee allows for a song up to four minutes in duration.
