In case you missed the first part in this series, you need to check it out here - Robert Rodriquez's 10 Minute Film School Part 1. It's worth every minute of your time.

Robert Rodriguez is the director of Desperado, From Dusk Till Dawn, and Planet Terror. He got his start making his first film "El Mariachi" for $7,000 in Mexico using all sorts of creative budget saving film tricks. This video is part two in the series and covers sound effects, lighting, and creative editing that he used to get big budget looks out of a small budget film.
