Hasta La Motion!

Hi everyone, I’m new to these boards and just have a question regarding whether or not something can be done for $10,000. Also, if this is in the wrong board, I apologize in advance and would love to know what would be the best place to post a question like this. I have an idea for a short film about an A.I. butler or nanny that’s gone crazy and killed one of it’s owners. I don’t want to give too much more away, except to say that it would take place entirely in a house, be about 6-7 minutes long, and have anywhere from 20-30 shots of the android.

The only outside shot would be the android running through a field at the end, with a long lens, capturing it in CU from very far away as it crests over a bunch of small hills (so it’d be coming up into frame, dropping back down, chest-up – no need to see the legs).

Just curious whether or not something like this would even be possible if we had $10k to devote purely to the digital effects. Would we need to do mo-cap on set or in a volume, how would the pipeline work, etc.?

Anyone who’s interested in doing this, if it can be done for this much in a manner similar to Bjork’s video "All Is Full Of Love", please get in touch with me and we can discuss. Double points if you’re in the New York area, but it’s not a necessity (unless it is, you would know better than I.)

In the interest of full disclosure, I’m a filmmaker and an editor at Nickelodeon (work on two of their most popular shows). If you google ‘grey corridor’ and check out episode #2, I did that entire episode for less than $500 with a practical alien puppet and a 5" model spaceship along with after effects.
