archived-videos How much did this video cost...can you guess?

[180 Films]

I'll say this much it was a streamline production, used a Canon XH-A!, Red Rock adapter, and shot in Kern County California.

How much do you think?

What equipment did you own already?

 

[M1chae1]

If you already owned the equipment, and you're not counting payment to the crew...I'd say the production ran about $500.

Of course, I don't pretend to know the actual details of what you guys needed. It doesn't look like it would cost much at all.

No location to payout. Piece-meal costumes.

There was a location to pay out, and insurance. The ghost town did cost some money.

Oh, OK...so...$1000?

Heck, I don't know.

 

[Shearer30]

Canon XH-A1 and the redrock adapter with lenses were already owned, although then we had the second latest version, so lighting became a problem in the late afternoon.

I guess all said and done, this thing ran about $1000, but my hood came up and smashed my windshield to bits. So the price wasn't all monetary.

Overall, very good guess

did you green screen the desert in the beginning where he's riding the bike?

This is a silly exercise because a $2,000,000 dollar movie can look like crap, and a shoestring can look great. I don't judge on the budget. Just state your budget if you want lol.

Agreed.
