Why Music Videos Matter
Music videos are more than just visual accompaniments to your songs—they’re powerful storytelling tools that enhance your artistic identity, engage fans, and boost your visibility on platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and Vevo. With the rise of short-form content and visual marketing, a compelling music video is no longer optional—it’s essential.
Our Music Video Production Services
1. Performance-Based Music Videos
One of our most requested formats, performance-based music videos focus on showcasing you as the artist. We film in dynamic locations or controlled studio environments, highlighting your energy, style, and connection to the music. These are perfect for capturing live emotion and connecting with your audience on a personal level.
2. Narrative Music Videos
For artists who want to tell a story, our narrative-driven music videos are the way to go. We develop scripts, cast actors, scout locations, and bring your storyline to life, all while maintaining alignment with your musical and visual brand.
3. Conceptual/Artistic Videos
Want something bold and unique? Our conceptual videos focus on abstract or artistic visuals that capture attention and stir emotion. These productions are perfect for experimental music or artists looking to stand out in a saturated market.
4. Green Screen & Visual Effects (VFX) Music Videos
If you’re envisioning something out of this world, our VFX and green screen productions can make it happen. From digital environments to CGI effects, we push creative boundaries while keeping production smooth and professional.
5. Live Session & Acoustic Videos
For a more intimate feel, we produce stripped-down acoustic or live session videos. These are ideal for showcasing raw talent and creating a deeper connection with your audience.

Music Videographer vs. Music Video Production Company: What’s the Difference?
At Think Global Media, we often hear the question:
“Should I hire a music videographer or a full music video production company?”
The answer depends on your vision, budget, and the level of production quality you want to achieve. Since we offer both music videographer services and full-scale production, we want to break down the key differences so you can make the best decision for your next project.
What is a Music Videographer?
A music videographer is usually a one-person crew or a small team focused on shooting and editing music videos. When you hire us as your videographer, we handle the basics:
- Filming your performance or concept
- Basic lighting and camera setup
- Editing and delivering a polished video
This is ideal for artists who are just starting out, need fast turnaround times, or have limited budgets.
When a Videographer Is Right for You:
- You need a simple performance video
- You have your own location or concept ready
- You’re working on a tight budget
- You want to film social media clips or acoustic sessions
What is a Music Video Production Company?
When you hire us as a music video production company, you’re getting a full creative and technical team. We go beyond just filming—we bring your entire vision to life.
Our full-service music video production includes:
- Concept development and creative direction
- Scriptwriting and storyboarding
- Location scouting and permits
- Professional lighting, cinematography, and sound
- Casting, choreography, set design, and wardrobe
- Advanced editing, color grading, and VFX
This approach is best for artists looking to create cinematic, high-concept music videos that stand out on platforms like YouTube, Vevo, and MTV.
When a Production Company Is the Right Fit:
- You want a storyline or complex concept
- You’re aiming for broadcast or viral quality
- You need help with locations, actors, or props
- You want to elevate your brand as an artist
