http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/a127444/rihanna-disturbia.html

On Amazon.co.uk i found a book called: making music videos: everything you need to know from the best in the business.
The book was written by Lara M. Schwartz. The book reveals the 'nuts and bolts' of making a music video, including the technical and managerial skills that producers and directors must have. It also includes development, writing a treatment, budgeting, getting a crew, preproduction to shooting and post production. Also the book has some comments from some of the most biggest names in music-video production today.
