One dude post-production

I read on fxguide a couple of years back about a guy called Gareth Edwards, who directed a TV history drama about Attila the Hun for the BBC. The remarkable thing about that guy and the film was, that on top of being the director, he also made all the 250 vfx shots himself. He only used off-the-shelf software like 3DMax, After Effects and Photoshop ...AND... it only took him 5 month. Now the same guy directed a feature film called "Monsters" and guess who did all the vfx shots!

Again it only took him 5 month and again he only used off-the-shelf-software. Fxguide interviewed the guy and I want to shared it, cause it's just the perfect example of what is possible through efficiency and discipline. Especially with the major project hanging over everybodies head I hope my fellow animators take some motivation from that, regardless of their field.
