That could have all been fake. Actually, it should have been fake. They wouldn't spend that much money...

Make up artists... all the guys are wearing make-up too, and seeing as this is entertainment, they hire only the best.
The artists themselves were I bet not that expensive, but all the stuff they had to use might have been indeed.

Look at the extras, each one of them is in a unique outfit, more costs.
I agree on this one.

I'm pretty sure that all the drinks were actual wines too... =D..
I think that was just cherry juice... Wine not only costs much, it also gets you drunk... I bet neither of these aspects they wanted to deal with.

if you're going to build a set.. might as well throw a party while you're at it.
You mean like the building crew did a party after they finished? I think that'd be way over the top of being unprofessional...
Quote:
Choreographers for the dance sequences. I'm pretty sure that the number of cameras used was also quite phenomenal...
I think they only used like 2 cameras... One static camera and one rig camera... They just filmed the scenes cut by cut instead of repeating each scene with cameras set differently on each try, you can see that in the making of.

The video was nearly 10 minutes long too. The amount of film that it takes to make a 10 minute video clip would astound you =)

To me, the video screams glamour.
Not to me, rather... cliche or lack of taste...

And I agree, that they clearly seem not to be able to... how should I say... adjust? The budget and the effects aren't always matching, IMO. I bet HEAVEN was quite cheap, while it's way better than My name's WOMEN, fairyland and JEWEL altogether.
