![Mockbusters are low budget, and their revenue is based entirely on the sales of their DVDs.[31] Low budgets also mean that directors need to think of creative yet cheap ways to achieve the endings that they desire. For example, Snakes on a Train capitalized on the Internet hype surrounding Snakes on a Plane. Consumers wanted what they saw. Latt said, "With only four days left of shooting my partner called and said everyone is really excited about Snakes on a Train, but they're more excited about the poster, which showed a snake swallowing a train. It was meant to be, you know, metaphorical. But the buyers wanted it, so I was given the mandate that the ending had to have the snake eat the train." At the same time, another representative of Asylum, David Rimawi, says that while a handful of their films do have "artistic elements", that's just not something they're concerned with. The Asylum does not claim to be an "artsy" production house.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5feqrt44taw6wa2dxqfq6m5m/bafkreiafgebwkzbgwkh6wdonai7alpv2x344mixmsb3f5iedeyhw7olshi)
