Low Budget Problems

While I looked at a lot of shorts and found a few that were in one way or another an influence, I found a short I have watched before called "1 Minute Time Machine".


This 10 minute short follows the numerous attempts of James to pursue Regina with the help of a small time machine that only travels 1 minute into the past. I found that this was extremely clever and creative. This gave me the idea that if I made something with a similar mechanic there would be plenty of opportunities for situations gone wrong to be redone with a different choice. This would give me the opportunity to try new things and perhaps collaborative piece.

Using an inspiration like this one will allow me to do a sci-fi short without elaborate special effects that usually are associated with science fiction like in the short I mentioned in my previous post "Time Trap" where everything is super high quality with impressive digital effects. It will allow me to explore ways to create the fictional world with the minimum amount of effects needed.
