1000/20 = 50. And thats not leaving any for the master equipment. And
that covers design, parts and assembly.

I'd make a real simple suggestion: a remote with 4 leds on of differing
colors, a snapshot computer cam, and a manual count. You just dont have
budget for something fancy, especially if you cant build much yourself.


That would at least look ok with the right camera angle. In fact, if
its for film use, theres no need for the remotes to work at all, if
your audience cooperates with a bit of colored paper on their lap.
