We are excited to announce that we are now filming music videos in Vancouver, Canada. Since Director Gordon Cowie was born and raised in Vancouver, Canada, it was only a matter of time before Gordon Cowie Films expanded our business to Vancouver. The Vancouver Music scene has always been incredible, as there is so much support for the arts in the city and there are great venues for live music all over town. Vancouver seems to attract a huge amount of diversity in the genres and kinds of artists that gravitate there, making it an exciting and avante garde component of the greater industry.
Another huge reason behind our expansion to Vancouver is because we are going to begin filming our first feature film–a psychological thriller called Seven Devils–out there. We are currently in the process of raising capital for the project; we have reached 50% of our goal and are well on our way to achieve our target of $100,000. We are still in search of one or two more producers to join our team!
VANCOUVER MUSIC VIDEO DIRECTOR
Besides being a Vancouver music video director now, we have other exciting news to announce. We just purchased a RED Epic with a Helium 8K sensor. This is a huge upgrade for us, as our Vancouver music video company was filming on a RED One MX 4K camera. The upgrade in dynamic range and resolution is going to bring the quality of our videos to a whole new level. This is a camera that costs $34,000 once all basic accessories are added to it.

We were initially planning to purchase a RED Raven, which is a smaller but not as powerful camera; however, we were put on a waiting list for it and found out that the waiting period had been extended from three months to a full year. Thus, we decided to take a leap of faith and move forward with the highest quality camera out there–the RED Epic. One of the biggest benefits of this camera is its ability to film crisp, beautiful slow motion shots. It can operate at 120 frames per second at 5K and 300 frames per second at 2K. Currently all the videos completed by our Vancouver Music Video Company have been filmed in 4K, so this new camera will bring huge improvements to the quality of our videos.

SEATTLE MUSIC VIDEO COMPANY
As part of the expansion of our Seattle music video company, we will now be filming music videos in the Pacific Northwest, including Seattle, Bellingham, and Vancouver. Becoming a Seattle music video director was an easy choice because the city constantly produces iconic musicians; Jimi Hendrix, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Sound Garden, and Foo Fighters all hail from Seattle. We are choosing to expand to more areas of the United States with the intention of offering high quality music video production to the entire country and, eventually, to the whole world. We consider ourselves some of the best music video directors in the world, and we want to share that skill with everyone. There is a need for video producer jobs all over the globe and we hope to fulfill that need. Being based out of LA, we get contacted from all over the globe, and most people are concerned that we won’t travel to them because we are not based in that city. We are more than willing to travel to all over the globe to fulfill our music producer career aspirations.
SEATTLE MUSIC VIDEO DIRECTOR
Besides expanding to become a Seattle Music Video Director, we have other exciting news. In our last article, we announced that we had purchased the new RED Epic 8K camera. In addition to that purchase, we also just bought the Ronin Steadicam. For anyone who is not familiar with a Steadicam, a Steadicam is a mounting system for film cameras that allows consistent filming while moving. This will allow us to create extraordinarily dynamic shots. The top music video directors in the world are known for using this device. Generally we outsource this skill, which can add anything from an additional $600-$2000 in costs per video, but now we are able to handle it in-house and pass the savings on to you. The device is a descendant of the steadicam–a heavier piece of machinery created during the filming of the horror movie “The Shining”. The crew needed something to allow the camera to follow the young boy as he rode his tricycle around the house, and developed this tool to create interesting, fluid tracking shots.
