Panic Attack!
A short video made - I *believe* by some indie filmmaker in Uruguay. Special effects like this would have cost a hundred million dollars for just the five minutes of footage here less than two decades ago. His rumored total capital cost to make the film? $300 to $500. The Hollywood deal he has since been offered, sponsored / produced by Sam Raimi? $30 million.
Awesome.

Certainty that at least the film happens in Uruguay, specifically Montevideo which is the capital of the country.
And I have to say I'm impressed. The whole gist of this 5 minute video is the special effects done in the cheap but still managing to look spectacular.
... which raises the question: what would they be able to make with 30 million dollars? A feature length movie based around special effects? Mmmhh....

Impressive but I don't believe the $500 budget for a single moment.
Even if they used only free software they didn't buy any hardware (cams, comps) for it and most certainly they didn't value their own time they put into it.
