Emil Nava is a director
that started out as a runner for film production companies. He worked
for blink productions and now freelances for OB management. After working as a
runner graduated to Assistant Director (A.D.) where he would manage the video
shoots. He signed to Academy, who are the biggest music video production
company, until he left and worked for "between the eyes". He now
works mainly for pulse productions.
Emil has begun directing adverts because they generally have higher budgets and production values. He prefers music videos because they have far more creative freedom than commercial advertisements.
At his busiest, Emil was responsible for making 24 music videos in one year. When he started out his production budget was as low as £5000-£10,000 but now can be as high as £160,000 in the case of Jessie J's videos.
Artists whom he has worked for:
