Reimagine this scene for a significantly lower budget:

Original Scene: {{scene}}
Original Budget Requirements: {{requirements}}
Target: Reduce production cost by {{reduction_percentage}}%

Budget Reduction Strategies:

1. LOCATION SIMPLIFICATION
- Can expensive location become simpler one?
- Can exterior become interior (or vice versa)?
- Can multiple locations become one?

2. CAST REDUCTION
- Can crowd become few people?
- Can characters be combined?
- Can scene work with fewer speaking roles?

3. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
- Stunts: Can they be implied rather than shown?
- VFX: Can practical effects substitute?
- Props: Can expensive items be suggested?

4. TIME CONSTRAINTS
- Can complex staging become simpler blocking?
- Can long takes become editing solutions?

5. MAINTAINING IMPACT
- What is the essential emotional content?
- How do you preserve it with fewer resources?

6. REIMAGINED SCENE
- Write the low-budget version
- Maintain dramatic power with reduced means
