This guy made this short and posted it on Youtube for a budget of less than 300 dollars...

http://news.bbc.co...nology/8417789.stm

He's got a movie deal already, for 30 million dollars.

Talk about a WTF moment, also...how the hell did he do it for 300 bucks?

So... he is super good at animation, makes a video with no substance aside from explosions, and gets a huge Hollywood deal for it?

Michael Bay would be proud.

It's the idea he's from a 3rd world country and managed to do this with 300 dollars, a shitty little laptop and a video camera.

It's not the explosions, it's the quality of the effects that he was able to generate for the money...that's what makes this whole thing crazy.

It's damn good for having little more than crap to make a movie with.

A bit of natural talent required but it's dedication, time, and effort that make up the difference.

A 6 month time frame isn't unrealistic, even for one person. It's more impressive he could concentrate on this project for 6 months. Jeez, I give up on a picture after 6 minutes...

I bet he got his copy of After Effects off The Pirate Bay though.

Shit i thought that was really good! And the fact he did it all for $300 is just incredible.

That was cool, but this is my favorite amatuer movie: Batman vs. Predator. It has real acting and is not just computer generated

HA! I worked on that in high school! My teacher was Vince Toto, the DP.
