Headless.Headphones 727 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I love this channel and was watching today at the most expensive music videos and coming in at #2 was Die Another Day, they say it cost more than almost Bedtime Stories and Express Yourself combined and cost a total of 6.1 Million Dollars.

Headless.Headphones 727 Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 I don't see where all the money went? but also that Mariah Carey video Heartbreaker, those two just look...well I won't say cheap just not millions. Looking at it again they did break a lot of fine china. Fighter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headless.Headphones 727 Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 A live video at an award show is pricey but think would have gotten a deal on the venue. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fighter 28,798 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 That list shows it doesnt matter if a video is expensive to be interesting and creative tbh Best ones are Bedtime Story and Express Yourself NowRadiate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turuncan 737 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Honestly, I can't see why they spent so much money on this. What makes it so expensive? No special effects, no bright colors, no expensive settings , no fancy clothes etc etc. NowRadiate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretender1978 996 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Sorry but to me this screams big budget, considering time and labour are always the most costly factors; first of all it's a multiple day shoot (according to the making of adding up to 7 days because of re-shoots) with a huge crew. Most M video's are done in 1 or 2 days. Second, all the sets are real (and big!) and are only digitally enhanced/expanded, greenscreens are used for a reason and it's called budget restriction ;-) Building sets is incredibly costly, that's basicly the only reason why EY was so expensive. Not that it's really gonna put a dent in the budget but the recreating of all the props probably had the same budget as any video done in the early 80's. Then there are the special effects, even though they aren't as apparent as in let's say Scream, there's special effects in almost every scene: all the smoke, the hebrew lettering, M's inflicting wounds, the breaking glass (combo of sugar glass and CGI) etc. the most clear SE is the reflection of the dual in the broken mirror, it's incredibly well done and is featured for about a second lol. So, yeah I'd say this is one of the most expensive looking video's there are, is it any good? meh, it's ok ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
