Jamie entered all his short films/music videos in to lots of small competitions that seemed to be getting more and more known as they kept on winning! He started to enter them in bigger competitions and they were winning fabulous awards. He was good.
He then used his best short films/Music videos to get a 'foot in the door' with the video production company Factory Films. Because his videos had won awards he was already one step above the rest and went around insisting that all different companies watched his short films/music videos and gave feedback!
The Process in which Jamie would be paid to direct music videos would be after he has received a track from a commissioner which is also sent to other directors, he would have to submit a treatment which is like a preview of what he is going to do and when he is chosen he will get paid, if not he will not be paid.
