With just a basic green screen, these Nigerian student film makers turned their compound in Kaduna into a sci-fi movie set, creating and transporting themselves anywhere. According to them, they didn't intend to go viral, they only wanted to show the world that there are amazing lads doing great things in kaduna.

There are sleek shot clips of found success online, which could help them unlock a career in Nollywood. What's even more fascinating is that their camera is a TECNO smart phone, a broken microphone stand for a tripod and their wind machine is the definition of "do it yourself."

Where they really excel is in special effects which they learnt from youtube, despite facing challenges of working with inadequate equipment, regular internet and power outages.

Their films caught the eyes of a well-known producer, who encouraged a fund-raising campaign; making them almost 6,000 USD, enough to buy new equipment to make higher quality features. They hope to become the biggest Nollywood movie producers in Nigeria but at the moment, they can't make films longer than ten minutes because they take too long to upload.

D concept is damn good and using the Camon series again is what makes it better, better still when you make it on the Vskit app

From a broken Tecno Phone , slow laptop to stars
