I'm always curious how they tabulate costs for this kind of movie. Why exactly were the crow bar and drinks included in the $70, and everything else not? The video camera, or the editing software, or the computer he edited on, or the time of the creator and actors, or even the actors make up and costumes, all cost money, it's just that they were donated or already owned.
If he just recalculated some of the expenses I'd imagine it could also be $0 or several thousand.
- shard 17y agoIt's out-of-pocket money, just like those "I built a web startup for $100" posts. If the web startups counted how much the OSS would have cost if it was not free, the total cost would skyrocket.
- albertsun 17y agoThere's a difference. OSS is free for everyone. The things that reduce his film making costs are not free for everyone.
- shard 17y agoOSS may be free in terms of purchase dollars, but not free in terms of time needed to learn how to code. Just like getting X-Men production props is free in terms of purchase dollars, but not free in terms of time needed to build those connections.
