Large fish tanks, elaborate sets and choreography: The most expensive music videos pt. 1
It is hard to imagine a time when a record label would give an artist anything close to seven million dollars to make a music video. Today, artists often have to find the cash or fund the music videos themselves if they want to make one. Bands like OK Go have made videos for next to nothing, coming up with their own choreography and filming the video themselves which have gone on to become music sensations. With MTV and VHI playing less and less actual music videos, artists have to find cheaper ways to fund their videos since they are largely going to be downloaded and watched free of charge on channels like dailymotion and youtube. With that history lesson, here is a selection of some of the most expensive music videos every made, full of large fish tanks, elaborate sets and choreography, all of them above the three million dollar mark.
Michael Jackson & Janet Jackson – Scream
At seven million dollars, the video for MJ and Janet’s “Scream” is still the most expensive music ever made even when adjusted for inflation. What made “Scream” so expensive was the elaborate sets and choreography involved, with three different sets uniquely designed for the video, in which one of the directors described as a “military operation.” The most famous scene involves Micahel Jackson in a science fiction space capsule. The video would go on to influence other award winning videos like TLC’s “No Scrubs” and “Shawty Get Loose” by Lil Mama and Chris Brown.
Madonna – Die Another Day
The theme song to the James Bond film of the same name, Madonna joined the ranks of artists such as Nancy Sinatra, Paul McCartney and Tina Turner to contribute original theme songs to the Bond film franchise. Madonna’s song was one of the most successful Bond theme’s since Duran Duran’s “A View to a Kill” and was include on her album “American Life.” The music video featured elaborate scenes and references to famous Bond scenes and villains, and even the Luke Skywalker lightsaber battle with Darth Vader making it the second most expensive video ever made.

The unique set of proteins located on the surface of cells that distinguish...?
one organism from another are the ___ ____ ___ ____.
(4 blanks...4 words)
4 words makes it a little difficult to guess... There are a number of things that could be in the blank. For instance, each cell in your body has glycoproteins on the surface of the cell that help distinguish it from not only other cells in your body but also other organisms. Also, antigens on the cell surface are also macromolecules that are unique to each individual. Antigens are what the antibodies attack when an immunological response is needed. There are a host of others but I cant think of what the blank could be. Just think along those lines. Best of luck!
