Hey, don't pick on Roger Corman, he was great at making films on next to nothing. One of, if not the greatest filmmaker, James Cameron, referred quite fondly to the time he spent working for him in the background to the DVD for the 20th anniversary of the Terminator as the 'Roger Corman Film School'.

I am. I want to be proud of what I've done. I was exhausted after going over to my sister's place and spending all day there. I just kept waking up, taking a leak, lying back down and falling asleep all day, I didn't wake up fully until 6:30 this evening. Maybe I'm dying. What am I saying, I
am dying. It might take 40 years or I might drop dead tomorrow but I will eventually die. As will all of you, of course, but you don't have a crepe-making video to finish.
I still have to examine what footage I have so I know what I need to reshoot. I ate one ham and cheese hot pocket in order to tide me over long enough to go through the existing footage and see what I lost.
Then I'll make another batch and film that. No sense redoing what's already in the can if it's good work.
And I haven't done anything with the first payment I got, and it does have a 'send refund' link. Which I'm not going to need to use. But I will have this done because I will not eat again until I eat another batch of crepes, and since I'm making them again, I'm going to film it. (Well, it's an electronic file, but you know what I mean.)
But you will get to see this. I have to check the existing video before continuing.
