Low Budget

            I tend to remember low budget music videos probably more so than the big budget, high production value ones. Most likely because I feel like I could actually produce something similar, as long as I had as the resources and manpower to do so. Well the scale of some the videos in class might actually limit plausibility. Those later Ok Go videos were absolutely insane genius. I’ve watched the “I Won’t Let You Down” video several times since seeing it in class. I doubt I could reproduce something like that since getting to Japan would be a challenge and I don’t own a drone. (Maybe Dr. Clark could lend me his) But it’s the imagination and making the most with what you have that really intrigues me. It’s evident in the early Ok Go videos, like the backyard and treadmills that if you have a cleverly simple idea and execute well it will get recognized.

            Hopefully, we’ll be able to apply those low budget ideas during the filming of our music video. Imbue some of that character that surrounds a low budget project.
