Who makes music videos and how much does it cost?

Hello,

I wonder if indie bands make music videos and how much and what would be needed to make one.

I am sure I can take a camera and goof around but I would like to know how much a pro video would cost.

There is not a label financing the video, so it would be something that doesn't break the bank.

depends a lot on how elaborate you get......how much lighting,how many camera angles....how many performers/extras/locations....film or digital......how many paid crew.....set builds......i've seen good results for 10 grand or so,and if you know some really good cam/light guys that will work cheap or free,they can do wonders with very little gear......

yeah it depends on what you want to do--i am sure if you want cheap, they could just do one camera recording a live show, or if you want a bunch of on-location shots or green screen or animations or cartoon work, you will be spending more--there is no one price
