mvdbase.com is dedicated to the promotion of music videos, while serving as a guide at the same time.

• You are a music video PROFESSIONAL: what's in it for you?
• You are a music video FAN / VIEWER: what's in it for you?
• And what's in it for mvdbase.com?

PROFESSIONALS

• The Music Video DataBase is free and will eventually include entries for all music video directors and all other industry professionals. If you need to put together a crew to shoot a video, this is the best place to check someone's credentials. To view a person's credits, use our search engine or look up a specific video you know they have worked on and click on the relevant name.

• Similarly, if you have been asked to make a video for a specific artist and would like to have some information about the band or singer, mvdbase.com can be a good starting point. You can quickly check the artist's previous videos and who directed them. mvdbase.com will also eventually include short biographies, discographies and links to other sites for those wishing to dig deeper and obtain more information.

• You can help promote music videos in general, and yourself (or your company) in particular, by sending me any information you can. This will also make the DataBase more complete, accurate and reliable - which would, of course, benefit you just as much as everyone else. For further details, please read this.

• If you have a Website, you can gain more free (and targeted) exposure on the Web by being mentioned on our links page. Don't forget: mvdbase.com is read by fans and viewers as well as many industry professionals. E-mail me your URL and if your site is music video related, I will be happy to add the link.

• Also, if you are looking for a production company, a director, or other sites about music videos, you may want to check out our links page.

FANS AND VIEWERS

• Looking for information on the videos from your favorite singer or band? Check out our Artist Index. The Music Video DataBase will eventually include director credits and all kinds of trivia for every music video ever made. You can also use our Video Index to find that specific song you like, if you can't remember who performed it.

• You can help the DataBase grow by sending me any data you may have that is not currently available on the site -- even video descriptions or trivia information. Anyone submitting information will of course be properly credited on the credits page. Note: Sending me just the name of an artist and the title of one song without any actual information on the video itself does not help forward the work done on the DataBase and thus will not be mentioned on the credits page. And please make sure you do a search before you submit anything.

• If you have a website of your own, and if it is music video related, you can gain more (targeted) exposure by being listed on our links page. (Please do keep in mind that I will only link to sites which are truly relevant). E-mail me your URL and I will be happy to add a link to your site.

• For those wishing to break into music videos, you'll find our links page very helpful as it contains many links to production companies. However, I would not recommend trying this to anyone who doesn't already have some sort of experience, and an available reel to show your work. If you do choose to contact a production company, please remember to always be polite in your mails. Also check the FAQ for some hints, advice and suggestions.
