If he was able to make that for $300 he's worth $30M to the movie companies just for the amount of cash he'll save them on production.

dude is talanted...

most movie crews are dumb fucks i say this because i had a role once and most people are just standing around waisting budget money and not being creative, too much staff usually when most of the shit can be done by a smart computer person

That was amazing!  It looked like a trailer for a big budget hollyweird movie....for 300 :o

It's a shame that idea was wasted on an internet clip, cuz it would've been fantastic to see what he came up with for a full storyline.  Loved how the last robot turned into a massive bomb.....very cool  8)

So who signed him to the deal?

Straight to the big shots.  Good for him.  Seems like a sound investment for Mr. Raimi

Avatar is the next generation of movie making.

James Cameron had to make some of the cameras himself in order to shoot it.
It truly is a technological breakthrough of epic proportions that may not be evident to the average everyday movie goer, ...but to technical crews, it's a whole other story. Incredible accomplishments were achieved with avatar.

The one thing I noticed, if it is a Alien invasion, chances are they wouldn't use missles a...and we wouldn't use 1950's airplanes to fight off the enemy.

Cameron is a goddamn genius... look at his portofolio... aliens, abyss, terminator 2, titanic... those movies alone probably combined pullled in over2 billion dollars, phenomenal director... that guy really is pure talent.

Maybe he made it for $300 but that doesn't include the costs of all the equipment he used.

lol. just fucking kill yourself hahaha.

Dude just pretty much "crushed" hollywoods 300 million dollar budget with a 300$ video, (maby he pre owend the camera,didnt pay salary to the people he used, already owned all the software etc etc etc etc)

And you're complaining about how he didnt count in the one camera he was using? hahahahahahaha.
Ofc its a little bit more then 300, but its kinda like the retards when layne norton deadlifts 700 pounbs with a  double overhand grip and some tard comes in and scream

"But hes using hook grip!!!!!!!!!!"

lol!

what else do you want him to count in? maby the food he was eating during the editing process? maby the shoes he used when he walked around filming?

hahahahaha.


That was fucking amazing.
