Vancouver is "Hollywood North," and that means we have access to some of the best film crews and equipment in the world. For an electronic artist, a high-quality music video is no longer a luxury—it’s a primary marketing tool. But you don't need a Marvel budget to get a cinematic result. The key is finding crews that understand the specific aesthetic of house and techno.
The Underground Specialists: Andy Kidd
Independent directors like Andy Kidd are essential resources for our scene. Kidd specifically works with House, Trance, and Techno artists, meaning he understands the pacing, the lighting, and the "vibe" that our music requires. Working with someone who already speaks the musical language saves hours of explanation and results in a more authentic visual representation of your sound.
