Supposedly done for $300, and resulted in the guy getting a $30 million Hollywood contract.

Pretty nice video, but don't see how it is possible to do for $300 unless he is using pirated software.
Well of course shit like that doesn't factor into production costs of items he already owned. If he owns the software, he's not going to tally the "cost" of the production by adding in all the costs of each piece of software he used. Just like he isn't going to count his own man hours, at the hourly rate for cgi like that.

You think a production company charges an extra $10,000 for a NEW software license for every single production they make. Of course not. What sense does that make? Just like I don't tact on $1,700 to each invoice for software licensing. That's retarded.

Come on baddog, even you should be a little more wiser than that.
