How much can you spend JUST on special effects?

Oh wow, where do I start? First off, you'll need a bendable schedule that works with your cast. In other words, a schedule you'll be able to change for your staff. Then you're going to need camera operators, you won't want to film this with just a tripod. Why not film it like a soldier documentary? Possibly the diary of a soldier. For the guns you need to remove the orange caps with a wrench, or if you trust me 1,000% ship them to me and I'll have someone do it. You're going to then have the script; it will take a lot of pages written for five minutes, even more for typed, so make sure it is long and fits with the plot. And here comes the editing. Don't be afraid to make some mistakes; we're not in Hollywood, afterall! And even they make mistakes. You can use the cut/edit feature in just about any editing system.
