You can commission an artist, ask an artist friend, or try your luck in >>8291 and pray that an artist notices you. For my music videos i either draw the illustrations myself or ask friends to make them for free and then i drag still images across the screen w/ lyrics at the bottom.

>Do I need to learn how to draw and animate Teto myself?
The short answer: If you don't have money, yes.

just make her dance in front of a yellow background and you'll be drowning in $$$$$$$

Vocaloid as a scene is built on tons of collaborative effort. Not everyone does it all themselves. Make yourself known, start interacting with other creatives, ask about collaborating. This can mean bumming around dickswords, cold replying on Twitter, approaching people at doujin events or concerts, and far more options than I could enumerate.

PVs aren't strictly 2D animations or drawings either. There's an entire micro-trend of people making live action PVs and applying minimal filters to footage or glitching it the fuck out with datamoshing. Go take a bunch of footage around your neighborhood for free. Learn how to make procedurally generated art. Stick paper cutouts to your fingers or popscicle sticks and make them dance.

If you think you absolutely need money to accomplish a good PV like >>10418 says you're approaching things wrong. You will not become a 10M+ views producer by starting to sprint from a dead stop.

Makes me wonder if anyone has done a stop motion MV yet with legos, cardboard or clay

Seconding. While you can do it all yourself if you have the willpower and creative ability, it often means getting little to no viewers, unless a bigger producer finds and promotes it. Which will eventually happen a lot of the time, I usually see Vane in comments of songs that go from 100 or so views to 2k+, but it could be anyone with a following, really.

I'll promote your song anon

baker literally used a flipphone camera for his footage for celluloid and sound, the PV could be whatever if the song is good enough

Thank you everyone for your replies, this is all very helpful! I've been making music for a long time but I've only just dipped into vocal synth for the first time. I linked my track in the new releases thread, but I don't like promoing my own stuff too blatantly in spaces where I'm not a regular.

>>10484 Thank you! Like I say, I've been producing instrumental stuff for a long time so it helps a lot.

>>10483

>>10492 Thank you so much! It really means a lot. I'll find ways to do cool videos for any future releases!
