I don't believe that it cost 15$ to make.

 

Good song, and good concept, though.

[HoboFactory]

I can't see the vid, only the audio plays

[Lauren]

it would take years to load on my compy

[S.E. Hardy]

it's an amazing video.

[mcgarnicle19]

There is no way that the video only cost 15 bananas, but it was still a really good idea for a video. Plus, the song is great too.

[deadstar]

Wow. That was shocking. Never thought I'd say this, but way to go, Sarah McLaughlin.

[Mouko]

It's Sarah McLachlan, not Sarah McLaughlin... nice video.

[loveisnotenough]

I have always like Sarh Mclachlan and I loved this video. That little boy near the end...heartbreaking.

[rosie]

It was just basically stock footage of shit they play on beg-a-thons for the christian children's fund while bragging about how they didn't spend the normal amount on a video.

 

It's not that great - and I'm sure it wasn't done for 15$, unless (which they probably did) get people's time and labour for free.

 

I know this is going to make me sound like a jackass...make no mistake, I'm glad that she's getting the message out - it's thoughtful, a good song, etc. Interesting way of conveying statistics through monetary units...it's just not the fucking greatest video ever made.

[Moonlight_Graham]

its awesome. i thinks its one of the best videos i've ever seen.

 

and its probably done more good for the world since "We are the World" or Band-aid.

[rosie]

I don't know.

 

The last Good Charlotte video was pretty deep.

[Drizzt]

Too bad Good Charlotte sucks, so who cares about their last video. World on Fire is awesome.

[rosie]

I hear that have this new thing called sarcasm, you should try it sometime.

yeah, the Good Charlotte video about suicide was also awesome.

[rosie]

I've only seen like, one of their videos. It had old people...and they were like, doing shit.

 

MY BAD!!!!!11!!11!!!!!1!1!!

Yeah, I suspect the bandwidth costs reach over $15 dollars too. Plus the software to make the video has to cost something--though this may have been already in someone's possession.

[Crusader]

Premium bandwidth can cost $3+ and even more in Canada ;) I like to buy in stock. Cool video btw.

[somethingrandom]

Amazing video (I won't say the best video ever, but I love the message and that it actually exists at all).

 

I was happy when I saw a blurb about it in the newspaper today. They said everything they used was donated and people worked for free. The only thing they need to pay money for was for the actual video film they recorded onto. The blurb said they paid $15,000 for it (not $15 like they say in the video) I hope that's a typo on the newspapers part, but if it isn't it's still not much compared to the $150,000 budgeted for the video.

[Ghetto rock for Princess]

I think what they are saying is that Sarah had 150,000 dollars that she could have used for her video... and instead of using that money for a big production... she took $15.00 for the film and used the rest of the money to donate over seas like it said in the video... beacuse she compaires what she could have used money for in the video to money that would help other people... Know what I mean???

[kbernardp]

I don't know if this horse really needs to be beaten anymore. Who cares what she spent on the video? Her main objective is clearly to capture the soft-weaknesses of people who obviously forget about the hardships and terrors of the third world and inspire them to get up and make a difference.

 

I think she did a good job with that.

I am aware of the sarcasm in your post before.........
