"The possibilities are numerous once we decide to act and not react." --George Bernard Shaw
$15 Music Video
Popular singer Sarah McLachlan asked what her video budget could buy, and found the answer in unexpected places. The result was this unique video, highlighting with graphics and music the normal costs of producing a contemporary video and alternate ways that money could be spent. For instance, the hair and makeup expenses for a video shoot would cost about $5,000 for a day in Los Angeles. Or, that money could provide a year of schooling for 145 girls in Afghanistan. The video cost $15 and the bulk of the normal expenses was spent on schools, orphanages and meals in several developing countries. Check out her video here.
