Is it possible to make a professional quality music video for $99?
It is possible to make a professional quality music video as long as you have the equipment and a good idea.

This here is an example of a professional looking music video done with the budget of $99. In the video there is a wide range of camera movement around the band and also contain special effects that have a old school style to it. This video for example  shows the channels audience that all you need is a camera and an idea. The video itself doesn't really make that much sense but it eye catching as they include stop motion in there video e.g at 0:58 and that is something that some people expect that can only be produced if you have money. From looking at this video here I like the way this video uses stop-motion and also how simple and effective it is even though there just in a forest playing with instruments and this is something I might take into consideration when it comes to the music video production stage.
