I had the privilege of teaching at the Berlin University of the Arts, where I co-led a music video course alongside video production specialists Andreas Hofstetter and Elias Asisi. The course offered students an immersive, hands-on experience in music video production, guiding them through every stage—from concept development to the final edit.
We brought together over 45 passionate students from various Berlin universities and connected them with more than 30 talented artists eager to collaborate. Students selected three songs that inspired them and, under our guidance, transformed their ideas into fully realized music videos. From brainstorming treatments to managing multi-day shoots, we worked closely with them to ensure their creative visions came to life while fostering collaboration across diverse perspectives.
Producing a music video can be a daunting task, but we were blown away by the students' enthusiasm and dedication to creating something truly special. Whether it was coordinating with the artists, scouting for the perfect location, or handling animals on set, the students tackled each challenge with a can-do attitude.
In the end, the project was a resounding success. So far the video has more than 11 Mio. views on YouTube. We hope that the students experience working on this project has inspired them to continue pursuing their creative passions.
All music videos produced in this course had their premiere at the fsk–Kino, Oranienplatz.
