Expensive Videos
Hey Guys...just interested in your opinion! Which Videos do you thinkk are really expensive in making?
-Ayu - Fairyland (we all now that^^) -Namie - How to be a Girl (It looks so expensive!) |
Here is the list of the most expensive Music Videos ever made. Ayu is #8.

Geez ... I don't think fairyland deserved to be such an expensive video. They should have used the money to produce a mega expensive feature on a song like I am ... ! That would totally kickass!
|
Eh. It was the stupid cabin and stuff.
My friend's friend's dad built it in Hawaii [seriously. She got to meet Ayu and all that x.x] Anyways, I think they should spend 2mil again, but on like.. a movie :] |

... WTF? Madonna's Bedtime Story video cost that much? Its pretty but it certainly didnt seem that expensive.. >.> Scream seemed pretty cheap too. |
lolol
I like it when they said that like all Michael Jackson's Videos that is always ridiculiously expensive anyway, did the artists pay the music videos themselves? or the produced pay for it? coz I heard that Kuu has to pay all 12 music videos for her Second Session album o.O |
That's an interesting list :P Funny how I've seen most of those videos, too...;) I remember people were talking a lot about how expensive MJ's "Scream" was...it was a pretty awesome video though.
|
interesting list -- I didn't expect Fairyland to be that expensive...
not too suprising to see a MJ vid at the top -- he sure knows how to make a kick-ass video |

I'm surprised TLC's waterfall isnt on there because I heard them say at one time that that was the most expensive
I dont understand how fairyland was so expensive hell I could do that |
How about you pay for a bunch of people's airfare to Hawaii and transport all that equipment, rent out helicopters, have a cabin commissioned and then BURN THAT COMMISSIONED CABIN down.. among other things. xD

pretty much all of those videos on that Wiki list are older & use a lot of CGI. back in the day CGI costed a fortune to make.
these days the pricey musicvids have real sets & expensive locations , like Ayu's Fairyland. |
*gulp* And the artists could spend money on other things.. O_O
So, Ayu pays for all the music videos she shoots or something? |
I think all artists do, not just Ayu.
|
I bet they must have paid something to that whole national park they were in (i think it was it's area, where they shot the cabin scenes) and on insurance -- in case the burning process didn't go that safe... (I would be honestly scared of having that whole thing set on fire, where there's trees all around!)
|
I didnt really see the point of setting it on fire
but hey whatever she likes |
...nope, well at least about the cabins.
I think that they just rented out the whole place, but that's what usually happens when you do PVs.. either you do that or you use a studio.. I was at the Audabon Bird Habitat myself~ :] It was BEAUTIFUL. :] Oh yeah, top one is what I took with a little editing. xD http://i6.tinypic.com/13zu7ic.jpg |
The list is far from complete. And lots of jpop videos are missing. Everybody knows how much Fairyland was because Max Matsuura said that because of the rumours she was going to be fired of AVEX (no record company would spent 2 millions in a video to fire the artist). But we have no idea how much her other videos cost or how much they spent on Hikki's videos (a lot, probably). Even Waterfalls from TLC, as people already said in this thread, is suppose to be on the list.

It's the record company who pays for the video. |
^ 'Waterfalls' music video costed around 1 million US$. it was really expensive at that time. it's not enough to make on that list. also it's only one of the reasons why TLC went bankrupt back then...
Hikki's videos do look expensive , and they probably are in a way. but they use a lot of CGI , which these days is cheaper to use than actual real sets & stuff. I'm guessing that several Hikki videos like Keep Tryin' , Travelling & Sakura Drops are around 1 mil US$ tho. |

Cost: $1,600,000+ Artist: TLC While their video "Waterfalls" was technologically more groundbreaking, "Unpretty" ended up costing more because the group argued over every little detail (almost doubling the projected cost). The story of the video starts out with women in a plastic surgeon's office contemplating breast implants, but they somehow get involved in a gang fight in a back alley. All the while, TLC sits on these weirdo floating pods while doing yoga chants. Nobody said these videos have to make sense . . . Floating yoga pods: $60,000 Field of purple flowers: $50,000 Laptop computer animating breast enhancements: $63,000 Flying robot camera: $35,000 Hairstyling: $11,000 Makeup: $25,000 Costumes: $11,000 http://www.soyouwanna.com/site/topte...sicvideos.html Ayu's pretty high on this list if she were in it. |
I only know that Hikki's You Make Me Want To Be A Man was around 500 000 dollars. It was mentioned in some article. But surely Traveling and Passion would have cost a bomb. Keep Tryin' too.

& hey, I wonder if when she was shooting the scene where the cabin went down it was like....
"hey this scene is not good enough! guys restart it all over again, build the cabin again & then burn it again!" lolol |
"hey this scene is not good enough! guys restart it all over again,
build the cabin again & then burn it again!" well, she dropped from school after middle school, she became a star at a very young age, she was and is the queen of pop music in japan, she can have almost anything she wants, but I believe she wouldn't be that stupid xD I gotta admit I'd never think Jacko's Scream video is the most expensive video ever made... it looks pretty cheap if you ask me -- even all those sets... |
lol I mean the director
if they accidentally put the wrong tapes & overwrite the whole fire scene with other scene & then "GASP!" |
Did you tought of that the state hawaii (does it count at state?) had also to eb paid because of the fire...what if the fire had taken over the trees...It could have destroyed much of the floras & fauna...and I´m sure they had to get the place back to the old situation with plantig new stuff & so on^^
But really say which videos do you think are also expenisve...not only the ones on the list^^ |
