The Commissioner Randy Sosin

This is a Music Video Podcast - or should I say a Podcast about Music Video. This episode is a Double Feature because I talk about 2 videos that I commissioned at the same time and we filmed them both over a 7 day period in 2003.  They are 50 Cent “21 Questions” & Many Men (Wish Death).  This was at the height of the success of “In Da Club” which was still being heavily played at radio and MTV and BET.  Find out all about how we made them and what decisions we made to ensure that 50 would be the icon that he is today.  Enjoy the episode!

This is a Music Video Podcast - or should I say a Podcast about Music Video. This episode is slightly different in that I am going to tell a story from a few different videos.  Not every video has an interesting tale about the entire process but there are parts or as I am calling them “TidBits” that are worth talking about.  I have made a lot of videos so I wanted to be able to talk about all the interesting stories as well as the in-depth look at certain videos and this seemed like the best way to do it.  Also, here are the links to watch the videos I talk about in this episode:

This is a Music Video Podcast - or should I say a Podcast about Music Video. This is a slight detour on our trip through my past.  It's called The Commissioner for a reason. The job of Music Video Commissioning is a unique, exciting and somewhat complicated job. I do my best to describe what I did, how I did it and my philosophies behind decisions.  I hope you enjoy learning about the process. Next week I will be back to my regular programming with a full episode on Eminem "Lose Yourself."

 This is a Music Video Podcast - or should I say a Podcast about Music Video.  This was the first of 15 music videos that I commissioned for Enrique.  I loved working with him and we had a good comradery throughout the time we worked together.  But Hero was our first project and was the foundation for what we would do in the future. We made a lot of videos together over the next 5 years and had great success with creating, developing and maintaining the iconic image that is Enrique Iglesias.
