Emil Nava has now begun to make adverts , which generally have a far higher budget and production values but which allow for less creative freedom. He decided to direct adverts like this (see below) simply because he wanted to enhance is career status and make people aware of the videos he directed.

At his busiest, Emil has made 24 music videos in one year.
When he began shooting videos for independent labels the budget would be as low as £5,000 - £10,000.
His most expensive video to date has been for the artist Jessie J and the budget for the film was £160,000.

Emil's first budget was for the band Kid British and their track Our House

• The budget for that music video was £20,000

• The location was set in Manchester

• The cast involved local people
