What is Link TVs music video acquisition policy?
We are open to videos of world music, including global hip hop, and American roots music. We judge a video by whether the music is good, and if it is visually creative. A video does not have to be expensive for us show it. Please try to avoid MTV-type cliches – and address the formal elements of the videos as if you were a movie maker. As a matter of fact, we often recommend using a film student from a local university to help out–they have an understanding of these formal visual elements, such as camera angles and storytelling that most musicians do not.
