Howdy, I’m Elliot Smith. I want to give you an introduction to me and how I got into music video production.

Music has always been a huge part of my life, my dad is a sound engineer and owns a recording studio, so I grew up in the music industry, going to 4 or more concerts a year, and being inundated with a love for music. Despite all that, I thought I was going to grow up to be an animator. However, after taking a photography class in 7th grade and learning how to use cameras, I found my true passion in filmmaking and creating behind the camera. After that, all through school, for every assignment I could, I would create a short film of some kind. In my Junior year, I did a short internship with an incredibly talented director, where I got to be on his crew as we made a music video. I then took a longer more formal internship as a videographer at a digital marketing agency straight out of high school where I learned how to make videos go viral. I also continued to work with with that director on 3 more music video projects over the next 2 years. On his crew is where I fell in love with making music videos. After my digital marketing internship ended, I decided to start my music video production company, SmithFire Productions.

My first client was a childhood friend, and since then SmithFire Productions grown to where we are able to work with artists with between 800,000 and 5 million monthly listeners on Spotify, by creating music videos that tell amazing, engaging stories through beautiful video that elevates the music. But why? The top viewed videos on all of the internet are music videos, with a collective 60 Billion views among just the top 10 and those numbers are only growing. I believe that music should be enjoyed by everyone, and music videos are the best way to bring it to them. After all, when a music video tells an incredible story with stunning visuals, people notice, and stick around to listen. Hopefully someday soon, we can work together to create a music video that elevates your song and gives it to a whole new audience to enjoy. Sound like a plan? click the button below!
