I still can't believe this "Camp Gyno" video cost only $6,000 to produce.



Of course it helps that the professionals from BBDO and Hayden 5 who created it worked for free.  And it appears that it was a one day shoot.  (Which is also amazing.)  (Wasserman, 2013)

But when you consider that the average production cost for a :30 second video is $350,000, and that even the all type commercial that launched Lucent Technologies cost $50,000 to produce, it is quite extraordinary.

Is it any wonder that SheKnows bought HelloFlo in March because they are a "viral content machine?" (Monllos, 2016)

In case you missed it, you can check it out here.  It currently has 11.8 million views on YouTube.  Wow.
