I am not talking about good films that were made on a low budget, I am talking about the techniques used in low budget films that make them good (or at least a classic).
I got the Monty Python and the Holy Grail special edition a while back, and I was watching some (hysterical) documentary about the locations they used. or should I say location. They used ONE castle for all the different castle scenes. They just used different angles and were very crafty in adding fake steps and such. I know it isn't much, but instead of building different sets and the like, they just used one castle.
Does naybody know of any other frugal and crafty things filmmakers did to stay on top of budget, or at least try to?
