How We Designed Our Solo Session Package

 

Dogtown Studio has spent the last four years perfecting the art and science of making Live Session Videos for musicians. Throughout that entire time, we’ve been building, learning, adjusting, and transforming our studio space into a wildly efficient productivity paradise…

 We’ve learned so much about what really gives value to the careers of solo and duo artists, and we’re presenting an ambitious and affordable package, where you can get Three Live Session Videos AND promotional headshots, all in one efficient and convenient package!

This package is guaranteed to be the most efficient way to get media for your E.P.K. (Electronic Press Kit), and it has proven time and time again to lead to better performance opportunities for musicians.  And with our short 10-day turn around time, you’ll be able to start sharing your media and booking great gigs in no time!  

The Solo Session Package is most valuable way for solo or duo artists to quickly get great content without the hassle of having to coordinate with different photographers, videographers, and recording studios… In the wildly efficient studio we’ve built, we can do it all at once.  

And most importantly, we’ve done it enough to guarantee you’ll be happy with how everything turns out.

"They have helped me transform my YouTube channel into looking professional, crisp, and eye-catching.

"Super fun and professional. Nailed our vibe without needing it spoonfed to them. We received a high quality finished product and we couldn't be happier with it. Turnaround time was excellent. 10/10 do recommend."

"Holy cow these guys are great. For most artists, filming a great live video means hiring a great sound tech & finding a great videographer. That can be very time consuming and expensive. Dogtown has truly created the most efficient process for artists do this by rolling it all into one place. I wouldn't shoot a live performance video anywhere else!"

"Dogtown truly makes dreams come true. we came to them with many ambitious video ideas that are always met with a "hell yes, let's make it happen." our full band performance video was even noticed by an independent west coast label who offered to do a run of tapes of our live session. we split the tape release with another band whose session was also recorded and filmed at dogtown and it was such a perfect pairing, we never would have had that opportunity without robby & tito's amazing craft on the session."

"Robby was truly amazing! He captured amazing footage/sound + amazing photos at the end of our shoot! Super fun and easy to work with. We will for sure be back for another session! You can tell he really cares for all working musicians and their craft."

"Dogtown Studio is the most professional and high quality business to get video work done around the West Michigan area. Tito and Robby are both incredibly kind and, most importantly, knowledgeable about their craft. They made a series of terrific videos for my band, August, that fit our vision perfectly. They are a gem to this community and I highly recommend their work!"
Olivia Vargas

"I first heard of Dogtown at 2019’s Earthwork Harvest Gathering. Ever since, I’ve been a fan of their work and dedication to the Michigan music scene. I was excited to work with Robby on my own video and was surprised when the YouTube channel GuitarGate did a review of one of the songs I did. The song - “Dime a Dozen” - has since garnered some national attention and was the one I submitted to and became a finalist in the 2021 Rocky Mountain Songwriting Contest for. I’ve worked with Robby and Dogtown since and am as equally happy with their work as I am to call them friends."

About The Studio

  • We're located at 240 Front Ave SW, Grand Rapids, MI 49504. On the west side of Grand Rapids.
  • We'll live track individual audio stems from the performance, take care of effects & post production to make it sound INCREDIBLE.
  • Studies show that one single smooth shot of a performance typically performs better on social media. With one seamless steady capture, we'll create a truly scroll-stopping performance.

Studio Setup

We have a natural eye-catching setup with stunning aesthetics in our studio space with string lights and a spotlight centered on performers as pictured here!  Typically this is an amber spotlight, but you can request a different color if you’d like, as Lindsey did here!

Session Timeline

Video Examples

PLUS Headshots!

  • Headshots are an absolute necessity for your Electronic Press Kit! These will help you make a professional first impression!
  • Everyone knows that more content is better. Our customers get SO much use out of all the headshots we provide.
  • Many artists use their Dogtown headshots to make show-promotion posts or other types of content, and having such a large treasure trove of headshots to choose from means they never run out of fresh, professional photos to use!

Your Session Timeline:

0:00 - 0:20

First 15 minutes: Quick setup & orientation

The first 15 minutes of the session will be used for setup- since the lights, microphones, and everything else will already be in place, this doesn’t take long!

0:20 - 1:20

Next hour: Live session videos

Next is a one-hour shooting block for you to record three songs as live session videos! You can take as many takes as you need within this one-hour shooting period. We know you’ve been putting the work into rehearsing your latest tunes, and when that is the case, one hour is more than enough time to capture the right take! And everyone who records music knows there’s something so special about energy that is present during those first takes of a performance!

1:20 - 1:50

Last half hour: Headshots.

Lastly, we move to the other side of the studio and take headshots for a half hour. We have done half-hour headshot sessions for dozens of artists and bands and we have found a great process that never lets us down! We roll down a midnight-grey backdrop, move our lights into the perfect positioning, and then get to snapping some pics! We take a ton of photos, and then we put them all onto a 4Gb thumb drive for you to take with you. (Don’t worry, this is included with your session!) That way you get the photos with zero turn-around time, and you’re able to pick whichever ones you like best.

1:50 - 2:00

All done!

Like we mentioned, once the session is complete, we’ll transfer your photos and send you on your way!

10 Days Later

10 days later:

We know you’ll be excited about getting your latest work out there, and that’s why we have committed to a Ten-Day Turn-Around time for these sessions! Once post-production editing is done, we’ll send you your video files via Google Drive. And then… It’s CONTENT CHRISTMAS!!!! Put your latest work out there in a way that catches people’s attention!
