I know with my words that in some way I'm going to ruin someone's happiness about this topic. But we must face this in a realistic way. Even though something will be made, the results will not satisfy everyone. Or even so many people.
But, in some way I want to be confident about what you could make just with some creativity, some good ideas, a bit of patience and so on.
If you let me give you some advice, I could give you some small hints about this:
1.-Use a performer who feels comfortable with the topic, even when this ended up in having a less pretty but more profesional actress. Her performance will be 2/3 of the scene, I assure you.
2.-Make a good use of change of planes. Just use general planes when you were sure that the small defects will not ruin the scene.
3.-If something is too way expensive, find another thing to show, but avoid the temptation of showing something that looked excessively fake. There are expensive FX and cheaper ones, and not always the latter are the worst ones.
4.-You don't usually do, but if you use CGI, keep them to the minimum... by the way, maybe they can be your only not-so-expensive solution for general planes.
5.-Don't hesitate to copy other people's ideas. There are plenty of low budget movies out there with some interesting concepts. I may address you to two of my favourites: The Hunted from Mako (
) and The Dark from Nyle Cavazos (

Well, I have more to say, but maybe if this idea goes a bit further, then I will be glad to say a bit more about this.
