This video is part of the Word of Mouth section of Mel's new Profile DVD - which is basically a multimedia resume. Mel was the first musician in the world to use such a device to introduce himself to others, and has a well documented history of being a pioneer in the area of self promotion. Mel now distributes this DVD as his business card. Through workshops, lectures, and his book From Zero to Sideman, Mel teaches aspiring musicians how to make it in the music business. This video is offered to promote Mel and as an example to anyone interested in upping their game in the area of self promotion. It demonstrates how a compelling story and empirical data can add depth, interest, and important information to a music clip. Mel hopes this video will help generate ideas and inspire others to go further in their self promotion. You only get one chance to make a first impression - make it a good one. This video was made with iMovie '09.
