At Rockmans Creative Media (RCM), we love teaming up with artists, bands, and all you dreamers out there chasing the sound. We know most production houses slap on a price tag that can make your head spin. And sure, high-end music videos take work—real work. But for us at RCM, making music videos is about something deeper. It’s about passion. It’s about heart. It’s about bringing your song to life without breaking your spirit—or your bank account.
See, music videos let us run free. There are no rules. No playbook. It’s just about what hits right, what looks good, and what makes your song shine. That’s why we figured out a way to keep things affordable while still giving you something that looks professional.
How do we keep it cheap and still make it sing? Simple. We let you take the reins on a few things—stuff you can handle just fine. That way, you don’t pay us for what you can do yourself.
Scout Your Own Spot:
You know your town, your suburb, your scene. Maybe it’s that graffiti-covered alley, a windswept beach, or your cousin’s backyard. The perfect setting is out there—free and waiting. You just gotta find it.
Take this music video for Zac Jones. It was shot entirely in St Kilda around Kerferd road pier.
Bring Your People:
You want faces in your video? Get your friends, your fans, your family. People love this stuff—being part of the story, standing next to you on screen. It’s a good time and a memory locked in forever. Before they were stars, plenty of big names started by showing up in music videos. it’s a super fun day of production and they get to see themselves on screen forever!
In this clip, Misha Bear got her friends to be part of the video…and they all stared!
Gather Your Props:
Got something that fits the vibe? Bring it. A neon sign, a beat-up guitar, an old car, or whatever tells your story. It’s your song—let your world be part of it.
Take a look at this cracka music video for RHINOSAUR. We shot it in one of guys apartment and they brought the Nintendo game console, munchies and Mario costumes.
Sort Your Style:
You know what you want to look like. Raid your closet, hit up a thrift store, or borrow from a mate. Costumes, cool jackets, whatever you need—you bring it, you own it.
Could we do all that for you? Sure. But it’ll cost you—probably more than double. We’d rather you save that cash and put it back into your music.
So, what does it cost when you team up with us? Around $2,000. That gets you a video that looks and feels like you poured way more into it. The 3 Melbourne made music videos above all cost between $1,800 and $2,100.
Here’s how we do it:
- We start by listening to your track—mixed, mastered, ready to roar. We get the feel of it, let it sink in.
- We talk. Your ideas, your lyrics, your vision. We throw in a few thoughts too.
- We help lock down your location. Once that’s set, we storyboard the whole thing. Every beat, every shot—we map it out.
- Shoot day—we shoot for about 4 hours. We record the track four times, hit it from every angle. We grab the story shots, the location vibe—everything we need.
- Then we dive into the edit. 3 days of cutting, tweaking, adding effects—making it shine.
When we’re done, you get something that looks like you paid way more. Because at RCM, we don’t just make videos—we make stories, we make moments. And we do it with you, for the music.
How to Market Your Video
Once you’ve got that killer video in hand, it’s time to get it out there. Start by sharing it across your social media—Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube—wherever your fans hang out. Boost it with a little ad spend if you can. Reach out to music blogs and online magazines; get them talking about your release. Submit your video to online platforms and contests for new artists. And don’t forget the power of collaboration—tag everyone involved in the video, from your bandmates to the extras. When people feel part of something, they share it. And that’s how your music reaches even further.
A music video is more than just a cool clip—it’s your calling card. It’s your story out in the world, grabbing eyes and ears. It brings your music to life visually, giving fans something to connect with beyond the sound. Whether you’re just starting out or already have a following, a music video can push your career forward in big ways.
