Looking at the dozens of people Selena hired to shoot the music video, I have to admit I was a little scared.
According to her, the cost of production would be split 50/50 between us to make up for how much AJP would miss out on by not receiving a portion of the revenue from MeTube and Spokify, which I initially accepted until she told me that the cost of the team of camera operators, equipment rental and extras had cost $14,000.
"$14,000 to make such a simple video?" I asked in shock.
Hearing my surprise, a smile appeared on Selena's face. "That $14,000 is still cheap since we didn't hire a director, sound recordist, or anything else that would add to the price, not to mention that the cost is really just paying the extras and crew, as well as renting the equipment. To give you an idea, music videos for very big artists cost over six figures..."
Hearing that the cost of producing a music video can exceed 100k really shocked me...
