The premise

Here’s the bit.

Wendell casts himself as an armored hero in a grand power ballad, flying on a winged horse and rescuing a captive princess. A visible budget counter falls as each magical flourish costs him money. When it reaches zero, the polished fantasy collapses into homemade props and toy replacements, but Wendell keeps performing with undiminished confidence.

Cinematographer Charles Papert described filming the polished scenes on Arri Alexas, then switching to Peter Atencio’s Panasonic HVX200 for the intentionally cheap-looking ending.
