Digital Technology Allows for a Gorgeous Special Effects on a Budget

C 299,792 km/s is a Kickstarter success story. The team was successfully funded in December 2011. They raised $37,317, double their target, at which point they decided to further their ambitions, ultimately turning to their fans for a second round of funding. All told, the movie was made for only $40,000 — but you wouldn’t know it to look at it.

“Digital technology has made basic filmmaking tools available to everyone, but undertaking a project like this is still considered way outside of the indie filmmaking spectrum,” says Stockmeier. “What we hoped to achieve with combining practical effects and digital equipment is to show that with a little ingenuity people can make really cool movies with very little resources.”
