I kind of feel sorry for this guy. I'm not so sure it's a great idea to
'advertise' that you can make anything dirt-cheap...in this case, $300 (or so he
says.) What usually happens is, the next (real) client comes along and says,
"Hey, can you make MY thing for $299?" I know this from personal experience,
having worked in Hollywood. :-( Ah, youth--the sheer excitement of "Oh boy,
I'm going to make a REAL movie now!" usually overrides any practical
considerations. I can foresee a slick producer--with a
$30,000,000-budgeted-film--waving a check for only $1,000,000 under this pore
guy's nose. His reaction will probably be, "WOW!!!!!! When do I start?!" If he
*survives* the experience, then his future *is* probably assured--making more
low-budget stuff.
Am I jaded? NAW!!! :-p
