probably lots of covid 19 budget to make it happen, rehearsals, testing, isolation for the people involved. 

He's talking about 2013 Applause performance... Which doesn't look that expensive. :bear:

Sorry let me clarify. I know you meant Applause vmas, I meant how was that performance $700k??? The set and costumes did not look that extravagant :wtfga:

I agree with you it looked really simple overall but maybe those costs include the previous canceled performance which was bigger and far more ambitious with huge scenography and theatrical performance :bradley: a tragedy

I honestly wish I could share the same sentiment as y’all but I fail to see what’s so iconic about this video :bradley:  It is literally your typical Lil Nas X video and it is honestly nothing spectacular. Also the CGI is just bad at some parts and it looks cheap.:gum: I honestly like it overall but I don’t understand the amount of praise it’s getting here like it’s second coming of Christ.

It’s giving me so many Katy Perry California Girls / Dark Horse vibes: 

Also please know that this is in no way a hate comment.

Nobody had ever go down to shoot a music video in hell and dance with Satan, gives major gaga going space to shoot venus mv vibes

I am pretty surprised it cost that much, I would have guessed $250K-$400K but it also depends on how much time was given in post, obviously the longer the more expensive

This won’t age well. Considering the possibility of spending an additional $1 million to settle down thaw case with twigs:heart:

Dreams of you and me are in the dirt.

what’s the typical budget for a music video?

100k I think, and I see many artists and publications regarding 300k MVs as high budget so here is that

 

Also,take into account that our faves usually make high end videos and their average is Defo about 200k, but if we are counting whole Music industry which has a shitton of lame ass videos, it's Defo about 80 - 100k

 

 

Costumes are not included because they are in 80% situations borrowed or part of artists private wardrobe

i just looked it up and the mv cost them 500K to produce and the VMAs performance close to 700K

I think that ,, original,, VMA performance was 700k, no way this one would cost above 300k, but on another hand I think that those were Robert Wilson art installations and concept do that most have been ridiculously expensive

Poker Face was a slay and it didn't cost this much. Bad Romance didn't even cost this much, right? I feel like the more famous you are, the more pressure you have on spending. 911 might even be more expensive than the other iconic videos I listed which is insane to me.

Inside, we are really made the same. 🕊

nop theres a whole spreadsheet with all the costs lol this is including dancers hair and makeup costumes and everything that was required to be able to produce the show

the wardrobe and makeup itself cost $50K, anything production related, rehearsal costs, sound, transport, labor etc cost almost $200K and everyone's salaries cost $200K upwards, another $100K on accommodation
