Fantastic work. Absolutely stunning. Where did you get your inspiration for your surrealistic scenes?

I love all the amazing effects, the surrounding stylist of realism, and all the special particle effect. This is a great work, a must see film. Plus I do adore the story that lies within the image, very interesting.

Nice shots, great camera movements, effects and post production. Amazing work what you did, I love it. I watched also the making of this model on a different site. Much appreciated that you're sharing that one too.
Thank you!

This is amazing, but people should make sure to watch the HD version (follow the website's link) since it defeats the point to watch such a compressed version.

After 10 years in the industry I finally found out what I want to do when I grow up.
Truly Inspiring! I love the usage of depth of field, color and then animating it all. This makes me want to take a year off of my day job and just create something.
Alex you must be very satisfied to express what you have in this movie. I can't imagine all the test rendering you must have done, and calculation of shadows and lighting, not to mention the render power you must have needed.

I am awe struck ... A true piece of art in every sense of the word. I would not have any idea the amount of work, testing, frustrations you must have went through to get this accomplished.
Thank you for sharing this and even more so, Thank you for doing it.

OMFG.
simply superb.
You would have thought a crew would have done all of this... but only one?! Please produce a full length motion picture... the style is just sheer awesome... blows away some of the best currently. And to think was done in 3ds! : )

Your the best single VFX artist I have ever seen. Even after me working on Lord of the RIngs... Amazing that one guy can do this.
Amazing job

the wind generator propeller is turning in the wrong way! check why the blade of propeller is designed as it is and what the wind is doing with it.

Amazing video. I would love to see a tutorial on how you did the sky animated. Does it uses another plug in or a video to make the background.

Holy...
Good models + very good materials + too good computers to render = something like this...
