Sarah McLachlan Music Video
Was having a quick glance at How to Save the World and noticed a link to Sarah McGlachlan's latest music video. Why do I care you ask yourself, well because as How to Save the World puts it:
"Instead of spending a budgeted $150,000 for a video for her song World's on Fire, Canadian singer-songwriter and Lilith Fair founder Sarah McLachlan made the video on a shoestring and donated the budget to humanitarian projects that will make life better for thousands of people in 20 different countries around the world."
Pity about the song. ;)
Really though, music videos are fun and all, but if more people did this... I mean let's face it how many good music videos are there? Very few. Most of them are just mindless crap which musicians are forced to put out because it's what we expect. And lord help them if they didn't have as glossy a video as the next boy band coz then we wouldn't buy their album despite the fact the music is just as bad as the next boy band's music.
Where will it all end I ask you?
Wouldn't it be great if there was something like the 5k project for music videos? The 5k project is a competition to design a website in under 5k. 5K as in 5 kilobytes not as in 5 grand.
So maybe there could be some kind of organisation for applauding highly creative low-budget high-impact videos that donated the surplus budget to charity...?
