If you didn't read/hear about this it's pretty interesting!! Amazing that this one guy did all of this work and all of these shots by himself.

fxguide - tips and training - One Man Against Attila the Hun

Quote:

Every once in a while we get a story at fxguide that indicates just how far and how fast the industry is moving. The post on Attila the Hun, directed by Gareth Edwards, is one of those stories. Edwards produced the 250 HD effects shots by himself in five months using After Effects and Photoshop. Averaging 2 shots a day, it was one man against the armies of Attila the Hun.

There is a QT shot breakdown on the site as well.....

Of all that's holy.

That guy has my respect. The effects were freaking great especially since it was just one dude. Cinematography was pretty awesome too as well as the lighting used in the sets. Some of those shots looked freakin epic. I'm inspired by that guy.

Yeah, the clip that showed him creating an army running across a field was really impressive. Kind of like a poorman's massive scene.

Loved the part about how he would work on it until he went to bed. Good olde' salary slave!

But then again that's how it is for many jobs in media.
