Die Another Day (Her most expensive video)

[Headless.Headphones 728]

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.

It has never been among my favourites. Dont know why.

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.

A live video at an award show is pricey but think would have gotten a deal on the venue. lol

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

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.

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 ;-)
