    I don’t know, I was pretty impressed. The idea that you can make something on a grand scale with a backyard budget is really encouraging. I’d like to see someone make a small, independant epic some day with a digital video camera and a handful of friends like these guys did, but feature length.

    I also like the idea that aside from the compositing, it was real actors and not digital stand-ins. CGI seems to be the most obvious way to make a crowd when you haven’t got one, but as far as I can tell, the only CGI ellement was the boat.

    I thought it looked pretty good, too, considering the amount of resources they had. If not D-Day, then at least some minor action of World War II.
