How Much Does It Cost to Make a Web Series: Video Game High School Edition

Have you ever wondered how much it would cost to produce your own high-quality web series that you would ride to fame and fortune on YouTube? As part of the launch of the Kickstarter fundraiser for Season Two of the popular Video Game High School web series, Freddie Wong and the team over at Rocket Jump disclosed the total cost of Season One of VGHS.

If you haven’t seen it, the first season of Video Game High School was a nine episode webseries with a total length of two hours. Yes, that’s as long as a feature film. While the cost was still a fraction of a feature film, it had as many visual effects shots as many big budget releases along with a full cast and crew.

Today, for a little bit of education about being one of the baddest guys on the interweb, we have Rocket Jump’s breakdown of the total cost of VGHS.
