jason miller Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Hi all, I started a production company in Athens, GA a few years ago. I used to work on a lot of commercials, but have really focused on the music industry the last year or so. It has been fun and good experience, but terrible money. There aren't many opportunities in Athens anymore, so in addition to feedback on my reel I'm REALLY hoping for some advice as to where I should move to NY or LA. I have contacts in both cities, but I'm wondering which is more sensible for someone with the type of reel that I have. reel is at http://www.eikonic.com/uploads/proofs/demo_12_5.mov website: http://www.eikonic.com thanks in advance, Jason Miller owner/producer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Garner Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Follow the money trail. In my experience working with bands that I actually like and have cool ideas, well... they never have money. I do stuff in Austin, but there's no "industry" here, just great bands and talent. Labels have all the money. If you want to do music vids and make any $ I'd think you'd have to go where the labels are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
