We shot the video on Saturday; the results are on YouTube, but I'm going to post a lovely-quality Flash version here later tonight.
Alex obviously wanted to do a professional job, but - as with any creative process - it was a question of balancing high quality with meagre resources. She was, very kindly, working for free, so we got the budget down to:

- Digibeta cassette: £14.75
- Developing film: £105.75
Which is £208.50. Then I had to buy a couple of bottles of Perrier as props, making £211.50. Then we had to cover the costs of some of the actors, which added another £200, making £411.50.

But let's see if they bother invoicing us. For the moment, the
Total cost: £540.04.
