The 100$ music video experiment
We started this exp. by gathering artists from various genres to collectively ideate & collaborate on the spot and help create something original. We raised the challenge by intentionally limiting our entire production budget under $100. The lighting was achieved using a couple of torches and LED fairy lights. Sound recording, set design, projection mapping, and shooting were conceptualised and executed together on the same day.
Pls, share this link on your timeline/everybody you know, so that talented artists like Montry Manuel and Maria Schneiders can reach out to a global audience. We also hope this video helps inspire & motivate talented (dormant) artists to get out there and collaborate.
Godspeed
