18 and nearly 30 minutes, this guy probably spent around 1k USD(or more) just to get this done because 1 thing for certain, every single shot isn't instant take, it's a multiple generation before 1 finally hit, not to mention it's 1080p, so my estimation would probably be around like 1USD for a 3-5s shot, adding that up it'll be around 1k8 or something

Your channel is one of the few with a cohesive narrative; you pay attention to details regarding set design and continuity.
