Awesome! 
$3000. (now what is 20% of that?)
That was the number offered the other day. I don't want to pretend that this was some strange special case, or some rare circumstance. It was just the icing on the cake of a long few months of constant trouble from the business that has resulted on us either loosing or passing on over 30 music videos!

I'm with chiwi.....I will watch a video on youtube, or listen to a song on playlist or whatever, but if I like it I buy the CD, and have found many new artists to fill my muic collection with.
It sucks being honest, but it was how I was raised.

Thank you for the breakdown, Mike. While I had some knowledge of the processes from watching DVD bonus features and behind the scenes stuff (remember when MTV had the Making of the Video?), there are still a lot of aspects I'm ignorant of.
What really sucks is that it's only going to get worse.
Keep creating badass shit, bro, and I'll stay a fan.

I have literally spent over 12 hours straight this week battling with various music labels and management companies on the phone.
The Music Business is dying.
Let me start at the beginning. Remember when MTV started doing Spring Break? The Tiki Hut, MTV sports, the Real World, Roads Rules? This is where the death of music videos begins. Like a slight tremor before the tsunami,...

I think you were probably offered a total budget of about 60K, which would make your 20% cut pretty paltry. Especially considering all the hard work that goes into making a video (or any creative piece, really). All in all, I'd say they offered you just over minimum wage, with out the hope for tips. It's bullshit.
I still buy music. I've actually never downloaded any music or movies that I haven't paid for. I don't buy CD's anymore, which depresses me, because I love the album art. The way an album was put together always gave me an insight as to what vibe the music was about.
Anyway, your work is badass, and if I had the coin, I'd pay top dollar for a piece of it. But alas, I am just another starving (traditional) artist.

Best Blog Ever!!! lol
I did a "pre-interview" yesterday with the website Faded & Blurred.com for their podcast on photographers.
Looks like we will actually get it on tape sometime next week. If its anything like the conversation we had yesterday, it will be a lot of fun. Stay tuned.

that's horrible.
little_bird:
i know it certainly helps me out in times of trouble. (:
that being said, i'm so incredibly sorry to hear about your camera gear. not only is it all incredibly expensive, but the bond between a photog and their camera is one that few can accurately understand. ): <3

I hear you friend. Things can be pretty lonely sometimes. The winter doesn't help much either. On the plus side, Rydell offered to chat with ya. thats gotta count for a lot.
Hope you get outta the lonely funk soon, sir.

An artist is always alone - if he is an artist. No, what the artist needs is loneliness.

I just finished the new video for As I Lay Dying. It has to be one of the most violent things I have created. It will be released later this week. Till then you can have the band set it up for you at about 00:02:40 in this video clip.

Well guys and gals, the rumors are true. I am releasing a new Grindhouse DVD and the fans here on SG will get special offers and the chance to pre-order signed copies. Those of you who bought the Cold Hard Cash bootlegs from me a few years ago know how much love we put into our DVD creation.
