Video Ratings
We curate and exhibit indie music videos. From the thousands of student, fan and unofficial videos submitted to YouTube daily, we bring you the best. We rate videos on three criteria: production quality, creativity/performance and editing.
Production
Cinematography, lighting, camera movements, sets, locations … Production quality doesn’t mean a big budget. It’s more about great ideas and inspired execution.
Creativity/Peformance
We put these two together because they are so linked — especially since so many videos involve acting, singing and dancing. Standing out in the crowd requires creativity, energy and originality.
Editing
Cutting on motion, guiding eye movement, color timing .. this is where good videos come together. Good editing is more than just cutting on the beat, and it helps good ideas and performances shine.
