Offering him 30 mill is a huge gamble. I mean, there's no real story here except that robots invade. Not really original, the only only thing exceptional about the video is the CGI. But really, any studio could come up with that. I'm sure if you said make me a 4 minute video about robots attacking a city, the CGI studio could come up with something similar. It doesn't really show off any writing or any of the other 100 variables you need to make a movie work.
None the less it's cool and will be neat to see if it works out. Maybe more people would get that opportunity they wouldn't otherwise in the future if the project works.
