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

Think Global Media – We Don’t Just Shoot Videos, We Build Visual Legacies.
At Think Global Media, we don’t just shoot music videos — we bring your story to life against some of the most cinematic backdrops in the world. Los Angeles is more than just a city — it’s a creative playground for artists and directors. From gritty downtown alleys to sun-drenched desertscapes, we know how to match the perfect location to your sound, your vision, and your brand.
Music Video Production Locations in Seattle, WA
At Think Global Media, we specialize in transforming music into cinematic storytelling — and when it comes to backdrops, Seattle offers one of the most diverse visual landscapes in the country. From moody forests to city skylines, every location can enhance the emotion and energy behind your music. If you’re looking to shoot a music video in Seattle, here’s a guide to some of our favorite and most dynamic filming locations.
Iconic Seattle Landmarks 🏙️
We love showcasing Seattle’s iconic skyline, especially with the Space Needle standing tall in the background. Pair that with shots from Kerry Park or Gas Works Park, and your video instantly carries a cinematic signature that screams Seattle. Whether it’s a dramatic performance or a reflective solo scene, the city’s skyline sets the mood.
Urban Industrial Vibes ⚙️🖤
For edgier or grungier tracks, we often shoot in areas like Georgetown, where warehouses, graffiti-covered walls, and vintage brick buildings lend texture and authenticity to any urban storyline. This is a favorite for hip-hop, punk, and experimental genres.
Evergreen Forests & Nature Trails 🌲🌧️
Seattle’s lush green spaces are ideal for more introspective or emotionally driven visuals. Locations like Discovery Park, Seward Park, or the Washington Park Arboretum offer serene forests, hidden trails, and waterfront views — perfect for capturing raw emotion and poetic imagery.
Waterfront & Coastal Views 🌊🎶
We often use Alki Beach, Elliott Bay, or Golden Gardens Park for scenes that need open water, stunning sunsets, or atmospheric fog rolling off the coast. These areas bring a cinematic quality and emotional depth that align perfectly with soulful, acoustic, or pop ballads.
Rooftop Views & Nighttime Aesthetics 🌌✨
Seattle’s rooftops are gold for nighttime shoots — where neon signs, wet pavement reflections, and skyline lights build a dramatic, music-video-ready mood. We’ve captured unforgettable performance scenes with just a guitar, a few light setups, and the city glowing behind the artist.
Underground & Subcultural Scenes 🔥🎤
Need something truly unique? We’ve filmed in Capitol Hill’s underground venues, indie record stores, and street art alleys. These spots resonate with alternative, indie, or street-savvy aesthetics. They’re raw, real, and authentically Seattle.
Why Seattle Works for Music Video Production
Seattle’s versatility is unmatched. Whether you’re telling a story of love, loss, rebellion, or triumph — this city gives us the visual tools to match your sound. We scout, permit, and secure all locations so your focus can stay on performance and creativity.
We work with you to choose the perfect environments that elevate your music’s message — and make sure your video feels as powerful as your sound.
