Lazy Teen Superheroes: Fantastic Amateur Film Made for $300

I wish people would stop publishing this kind of misleading disinfo. The camera/sound gear and software alone involved in a production such as this is well over $1000 – and probably more toward $10,000. The only way it would be possible to produce this for $300 is if all equipment and talent were to be donated free of charge. $300 would just about cover the catering for one day of the shoot.

I totally agree. If you are considering this as an actual production, and accounted for the amount of food just the director/editor ate during the probably very long process, you’d have over $300 right there.

Hey, Kevin. How much did it cost you to post that?

I’m with Kevin on this. It’s spiffy, but $300 wouldn’t have covered a legally-purchased copy of the editing software, much less equipment, talent, lighting, sound, makeup, costumes, props, craft services, etc.

I’d love to see somebody make something “spectacular” with a $200 videocamera, a 5-year-old puter and freebie/public domain editing software.

Yes I was under the impression that this was student done, their college probably had all the equipment needed. Though I agree it’s still misleading to say that “Hollywood” could take a lesson from these guys… what I will say is that actors are pretty much overpaid, and hollywood (as well as washington IMHO) does need a lesson in budgeting
