Low budget? Yes. And it only opened in 4 cinemas, raking in less than $500k. But it's probably best considered Arthouse, not B movie. You can't not notice the camera work in Birdman. The entire movie, barring 1 or 2 scenes in the beginning is shot in one long continuous sequence. It's obviously an illusion but it's still great to watch. There are scenes where they film in front of a mirror and you can't see the camera. There's a seen where the camera follows Michael Keaton through a busy square in NYC. And a great scene where the camera glides from the theatre rafters to the stage below.
