Bowie video[edit]

Hi @GauchoDude:,

How is it important information that the video that inspired Isham was the most expensive one at the time? The bit about "defining music video" is also unnecessary, as this article is about Isham, not music videos in general. --Soetermans. T / C 17:03, 7 January 2016 (UTC) Soetermans.

I did just took out the defining music video bit, the source used is a Bowie biography, hardly the authority on music videos. Soetermans. T / C 17:07, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Soetermans: I find it relevant and important because Wayne Isham's fame and notability is derived directly from him being a well-known and important music video producer. While it certainly doesn't automatically bestow notability, the cost associated with the Bowie video certainly speaks to his importance with progressing the art form. While he doesn't feature on the list do to the construction (must be over $0.5M to be considered), List of most expensive music videos is a thing that exists because of the importance of the production costs of music videos. Thoughts? GauchoDude (talk) 18:01, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@GauchoDude:, there's two things. 1) "Ashes to Ashes" was very expensive. 2) Isham was inspired by "Ashes to Ashes". To me, there is no relation between the two. "Ashes to Ashes" could've been cheap to make or could've been critically panned, for this article, about Isham, what's important is that he was inspired by the video, regardless of the costs. If you do insist on having the information there, I suggest we try to rewrite the bit, because now it just looks he was inspired by the video because of its budget. --Soetermans.

@Soetermans: Certainly okay with rewording. GauchoDude (talk) 13:07, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
