Most of the time you look at a video and you wonder why that many views. Thinking for example about filming a giant aquarium, it is nice, not saying the opposite, it is just that anyone could go back there, put the 5DMkII on a tripod, record for ten minutes and they would get the same thing. But sure, that guy did it.
Here, you must have put a tremendous amount of work and the result is simply amazing. I especially like this scene at 06:36 where you change elements, it just make you realize that everything you've seen has been created. Still, hard to believe!
Good thing you took a year off to do this, result is great. I took some time off to do that: vimeo.com/8320849 Your images are much nicer, but it is similar in term of sharing and showing beautiful things to others.
Thank you for making the file available. Downloading it right now and will watch again for sure!
sorry.
You should watch the Compositing Break-Down and Exeter Shot Making Of videos, check all available sources first.
This film is amazing because even after being told, the only things that make me see CGI are the scenes at the end, which I believe is the intention. You're watching this beautiful film with beautifully edited, stunning shots of great architecture, and all of a sudden at the end it's like "woah, wait a minute, what IS this thing?" It's brilliant.
First of all THANK YOU VERY MUCH for these warmful comments to ALL of you. Seriously, i'm overwhelmed.
I know that here is not the right place for comment -replying at Kenny (regards BTW!)- but i think it'll be the best visible place for it.
Well, there are several questions i've been asked for...
-I think i must make it clear. There are a few non-CG elements in the shortfilm: photographer (shot on greenscreen), pigeons, timelapsed growing flowers, flying airplane and sky backgrounds.
-It was ALL rendered on an i7 920 and a QX6850 -very low budget :( -
I hope it helps a bit!
Thanks once more fellows! ;-)
PS: There are too a lot of original HD Mp4 torrent requests; let me see what can i do...
If you do release a torrent, it might be worth asking those who've already downloaded it to also seed to help you out with bandwidth.
Also, I know people are asking about the third and seventh arts - searching on Google and looking at the piece of backwards paper around 0:26 it looks like these seven arts are listed:
Painting
Sculpture
Architecture*
Literature
Music
Dance
Cinematography*
*these two are circled/boxed
The most sick display of a single person's multi-disciplinary talent I have ever seen.

I wouldn't be too harsh on Jay. His utter disbelief is testament to how spectacular and fantastic the work that was created by Roman here.
Unlike Jay I am unable to express my awe and disbelief. I'm going to crawl back into my cave and try to forget there are incredible people like Alex Roman in this world who are deeply talented and are so passionate about the work that they do.
Alex Roman, you are a true inspiration.
True architecture can include movement, the sails opening was pivotal in this piece. Congrats I wondering if you are young because after this you can do anything you want.
I'm in awe. By far one of the most beautiful art pieces I've seen. It is perfect in its hand-crafted imperfections.
The architecture on the second half, the cinematography, realistic use of depth-of-field and abstract touches are outstanding!
Oh yeah, not bad for one guy.
But the character must be real, at least in the end, right?
Are all the tree's done in 3ds? With some plug-in maybe?
Awesome work! I love it!
For how long did you work on this? And how did you get the time to do it?
Keep up the fantastic work!
It's amazing the talent of Alex.
Absolutely inspiring piece of art.
Amazing!
These guys are going to put regular cameramen out of business!
That's a pretty small nit to pick though. This video is a masterpiece.
It's all still mind blowing work though.
Mr. Roman you are an artist.
this is the BEST GC i've seen made by only one person. I'm speachless. Well deserved to be in the "most liked". this is one "like" that really worth it.
I know that a lot of critics judge too hard on the GC area, maybe with the fear that technology replace human talent, but let me tell you that this to me is art, the XXI century art.
I imagine that Alex Roman got a lot of phone calls from this piece but pleeease keep doing things like this one.
Can you make one of the humen body or the human nature? i will LOVE to watch it. Thanks for your time.
Now i will watch the breakdown.

This goes beyond CG, ..more like in the realm of spiritual.
Most inspiring CG work i've seen.
Congrats.
Well Done.
W O N D E R F U L L !
Truly a work from your heart. Wonderful, just wonderful.
How did you get the time to do this or was this your full time effort?
He did this on his spare time...
i have no other words at the moment - am in too much awe....
This is the most realistic/photographic thing I have ever seen. I still can't believe it!
Thank you so much!
great job.
My compliments mate!!!
