Panic Attack, a mini-movie
It seems this video (which TTL also alerted me to) has earned its creator a huge Hollywood contract. And it is beautifully done, not only the very realistic CGI, but also the image compositions, the light, the timing, etc.
Cool realization, no doubt. The beginning was causing me some goosebumps. But then: what makes the display of destruction so attractive? I'd never dare view this piece as a "twin-tower" victim.... Obviously two pairs of shoes.
Do you think that the robots belong to any of the Actors' Equity Associations? After all, they should have union rights, too, shouldn't they? Like: safe working conditions? I hardly think (and yes, I'm joking here) that you could say that the defenses being brought to bear against them are in their best interests...
Also, I do believe the audio is taken from another movie - it seems to remind me of one of the Dawn of the Afternoon of The Night of the Morning of the Living Dead Folks things, but I'm not sure - can anyone help? Nonetheless, it is an interesting use of the "infinite ascending chords" technique, in this case, all of them being rather discordant and frightening.
His budget was 300USD, I think no one said what has he spent this money on. I bet he had to pay the extras (there were people running around in the movie)
It's said the maker is a producer from a small company in Uruguay so he probably had a set of software tools in the beginning

In any case, thanks for pointing out the video.
"what makes the display of destruction so attractive?"
Yes, just so.
It also occurred to me that the destruction got quite over the top there after a while.
I'm almost sure the audio was taken from '28 weeks later'
But the video is great. The robots animation could be a little smoother but it's 300$, so...
I think the image of destruction is so attractive beacuse it makes the movie a little more dynamic, besides it's a CGI effects show-off :)
What's 300$? The software?
