 A first of its kind, this was the largest short film, and was fact  one of the largest projects, to be created entirely using digital  backlot processes. Entirely shot on HD 1080p donated by Panavision  in front of a green screen, with backgrounds shot on a 4,000 x 4,000  pixel ultra high definition camera donated by Kodak, the film was  built entirely in Adobe After Effects. It employs a unique "motion  collage" effect. By deliberately avoiding the use of 3D, the 609 VFX  shots were all done by two effects artists in less than nine months,  all for a budget of $1M (USD). For comparison,  _Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004)_ (qv) was around 1,800  shots for 90 minutes (3x Seven Swans) but cost a reported $100M  (USD) and took three years.
