I think having experience as a DJ just helped me understand music, which is a huge component in directing music videos. It helped because I wouldn't have to rely on someone to cut music for me, and typically I could come up with my own ideas. As a director, I think the more you know about every aspect in filmmaking, being wardrobe, music, lighting, costumes, make up, etc, the better off you are. So I try to learn as much as I can. It's part of the fun!
