This is awesome.

I'm curious what the budget was, or would be assuming you started from scratch (without the help from Red Giant). What do you guys put it at?

Budget? Shot on a consumer camera most likely using available light since you can essentially light the thing in post with this software. Actors work for nothing. Props and set dressing are a minimal expense. 95% of the production value was created in post...so labor. But the filmmaker is providing that. Actual cost I would put at a few grand tops. But the talent displayed here has a very high price tag IMhO. This filmmaker is for real. Thought the lead was fantastic as well. Love seeing talent like this. Awesome all the way around.
