How To Fund LandscapeHD Video

This page deals with the issues of how to fund a LandscapeHD production and where the money goes that LandscapeHD receives from its distributors and how you can 1get your money back and turn a profit.

How to Fund a LandscapeHD Video
If you want a LandscapeHD video of your music you can get your video made free if it is chosen from the Music that can be used section of our web site. However few tracks are chosen compared to those submitted.  The only way to guarantee a film on LandscapeHD is to either do

it yourself - something that is quite within the capacity of many artists - or get it made or funded by your record company or publisher - since it is them that will earn money from our exploitation if we broadcast it and sell the videos. However as the web becomes more powerful we expect more and more artists to retain their own LandscapeHD Channel exploitation rights in order to make the LandscapeHD film themselves and get paid direct.

It can cost almost anything to make a LandscapeHD video. Some have cost a few hundred pounds and some as much as £30,000 for a three minute film. How much you spend is up to you and whether material is available from other projects such as documentaries, relaxation and sell through video etc. However we would give you some guidelines.  

If you are making a video for your music for other purposes it makes a lot of sense to make sure you have material that LandscapeHD can use. If you want artistic control you will of course have to make it yourself. However we strongly recommend that you take the risk out of the enterprise by involving our production department right from the beginning. We have nearly twenty years of making LandscapeHD films. That expertise is available to you and your record company should you need it. Call LandscapeHD Channel UK on SKYPE during office hours for any information that you may need if you need a free telephone discussion.

If you agree to allow us to sell the video through our store you should recover the costs in the course of time depending upon the popularity of the video - due to the specialist nature of our films almost all sales world-wide are through our own store. We print on demand and post world-wide like Amazon. Our store is rapidly becoming our main source of revenue.

We have recently changed the rules to allow the location or web site details to be included in the onscreen credit, to allow funding from third parties involved in the visual elements of the film - you may therefore be able to get funding from tourism locations, businesses, sponsors etc.  In commercial terms between £5,000 and £10,000 is a very small price for a sponsor to pay to obtain world-wide timeless exposure for their location. In practice 95% of all LandscapeHD productions fall within these financial boundaries.

Now that LandscapeHD is available as IP television direct to the computer screen LandscapeHD offers an invaluable method of getting your music directly to the buyer. Shortly we shall introduce instant click through that takes the desktop viewer directly to the store where each clip can be bought as part of the complete DVD or album. It is LandscapeHD's aim to develop ourselves into the best selling aid to instrumental music anywhere in the world.

We can often make your film free for you in our own editing facilities if you own video material used for other purposes, where you have the necessary rights and the material is in LandscapeHD Format .  [More...]
