The video would have cost $1.2 million.

Lady Gaga's G.U.Y.

[edit]

It's one of the most expensive msuic video ever, isn't?--181.164.153.53 (talk) 21:00, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Deadmau5 professional greivers video should be on here as it cost roughly the equivalent of davic bowie's ashes to ashes video — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.21.162.230 (talk) 20:18, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

IMDB gives the cost of the G.U.Y. video as $5 million. That's presumably the cost of the entire 12 minute video, which includes shortened versions of two other songs (ARTPOP and Venus) plus an extended version of a fourth song (MANICURE) running under the four minute credit sequence, so there is a question of how much of the bill to allocate to G.U.Y. (Gaga later released a four minute video that just includes the G.U.Y. portion.) I have not been able to find any other sources for the cost of that video, and I don't believe the IMDB listing is a sufficiently credible source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mdulcey (talk • contribs) 12:28, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The List is Wildly Incomplete and Out of Date

[edit]

This list is wildly incomplete and out of date. While I don't have sources to cite, it's highly likely that recent videos like Taylor Swift's CGI-heavy Bad Blood, or various Katy Perry videos should be on this list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.201.63.186 (talk) 20:58, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The previous comment says "while I don't have sources to cite". That's the basic problem with attempting to maintain this list; few recent music videos have credible reports of their cost. I found an estimate for Lady Gaga's G.U.Y. on IMDB but no corroborating reports. Katy Perry's videos were a complete blank. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mdulcey (talk • contribs) 12:42, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Industry

[edit]
  • [...] But as a practical matter for most artists , video royalties never approached half of the $ 30,000 to $ 100,000 production costs for the typical single - song music video | The Recording Industry (2004) pag 152
  • [...] expensive music videos may , in some cases , be more effectively spent on promoting the artist's career through other | Counseling Clients in the Entertainment Industry (2002) pag 47
  • Music clip budgets steadily increased throughout the 1980s, leveling off in the early 1990s. According to various trade magazine reports, the average budget for videos rose from $15,000 in 1981, to $40,000-$50,000 in 1984, and $50,000-$60,000 in 1988, remaining at $60,000-$80,000 in the 1990s. The average cost of video clips for producers varies according to their degree of stature in the industry. Large, established production companies command the highest budgets, in the $100,000 range, whereas smaller companies generally receive budgets of $60,000 or less. [...] Major stars like Madonna and Michael Jackson are usually featured in videos costing over $100,000. These artists often pay for their own videos to retain ownership rights to the production, entitling the musician to royalties derived from clip sales in the home-video market. | Monopoly Television: Mtv's Quest To Control The Music (2018) pag 164
