How much effort, do you think, goes into the interactive parts of the game 
engine vs the non-interactive parts?

In other words, say you wanted to make a trailer for a video game you were 
never going to produce, more a piece of movie than something where you 
needed plot, a real-time engine, AIs, interaction, etc.  Or say something 
like a surreal roller-coaster video, with no player interaction?

How much effort would that really be for a skilled and experienced 
professional?  What do you think it would cost (or how long might it take) 
to put together a video approximately like this, say, if you knew when you 
started that the only result would be this video, and not an actual game?

Any ideas? Any ideas how you'd find that out easily?
