clock Posted October 27, 2001 Share Posted October 27, 2001 Is it that the labels are trying to drown the artists in debt? I hear about videos costing $1 million or more to make, and then the next day, MTV remakes this video for the show "being" and I am sure MTV is not spending no $1 million to remake a video. Maybe $5000-10,000 if that. Why are videos costing $1,000,000. WHen I see them, I certainly don't see why they should, especially given the unimaginative state of videos today. ps. U2 "stuck in a moment" video is just awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nursers Posted June 9, 2002 Share Posted June 9, 2002 it is a good video but bet it cost a heap as well....

thisDude Posted June 9, 2002 Share Posted June 9, 2002 All lot of times, those figures for videos and movies are grossly exagerated for "hype" factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabriel E. Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 I guess all those rented stretch Navigators, rented mansions and rented girls don't come cheap. Also, does it cost more to film in slow mo?

popstalin Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 And you also have to figure that the "Being" videos are done by people trying to break into the biz. They may also be folks that currently work for Mtv. I mean there are so many things that factor into it. I could imagine that really bad LL Cool Jay video with the water tank, that had to cost a lot!

Felix_dup1 Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 I bet that cool Cake video didn't cost nearly that much to make. And for that matter, Fatboy Slim's "Praise You" was probably a fairly inexpensive one too. Just goes to show you that the best videos aren't always the most expensive.

Tusker Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 We have million dollar videos with no originality... so we can sell lots of $15 cd's to cover the huge costs of the videos. Cheaper videos could mean cheaper cd's with the same amount of money left over for the artist. Genie won't go back in the bottle though. Unless Internet kills the MTV star. ;) Got my fingers crossed, Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franknputer Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 Tommy Lee's video was real cheap, & he even got Pam Anderson to be in it... uh,what? Oh - no wonder the soundtrack sucked... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well... maybe you should bid a little higher than $50 to start. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
