Now THAT'S Talent!

And no, I'm not talking about those stupid "Blank's got Talent" shows.

The video below is an example what someone who has the time, inclination, and love for something can do. I sat almost mesmerized by how seamless the effects were. Hard to believe he did it with a budget that was less than a million dollars. Hollywood's always trying to make it seem like the movies that they make are so super-expensive, and cutting edge. So far, the effects I've seen them put out still force me to suspend my disbelief enough to accept they are real. In Mr. Alvarez's video, the only spot the scenes don't consume you is a single blood splatter effect, in my opinion. 

"Mr. Alvarez had the idea to make a movie about the attack of giant robot aliens on Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay. It was similar project to “The Day When The Earth Stood Still”. He based the whole 5 minute movie budget on apparently 300-500$ but the sum that the sources say varies. The fact still stays the same. Federico Alvarez made his own dream come true, by using a simple way to distribute his work freely on YouTube. This way everybody who have seen it spread the word and slowly but surely the word reached producers in Hollywood and his career will soon be rising, better way to say it is skyrocketing after showing his skills in such a low budget but still high quality product." - Quoted from ExtraTorrent's article


Enough from me... see for yourself!
