You don't need $ to make a hot video as long as you have the right moves

A few reasons why this is one hell of a music video:
- Decent tune. It's in the current not-totally-mainstreamed-to-death-yet bracket. Barely.
- DIY. Cheap home camera, on a tripod or picnic table. Looks like iMovie for post prod, what post prod there was...
- Real. no set, no effects, no cliché scenario. Just four guys dancing.
- Coordination. What these guys saved on video expenses, they put into choreography and practice time.
- Four words: SINGLE TAKE. Holy crap.
via Ken, whom a year ago I told, in essence: "Ditch the goddamn $60k-videos-on-a-$20k budget. You have a digital video camera and a G4. Your expenses are covered. Go make some goddamn films!" (No I won't stop bringing that up. ;)
