After watching it, I don't know what to say...I am completely silenced...this is just freakin' awesome....

How did they render it anyway? I mean, it must need somewhat bigger and more powerful renderfarm. Any prediction how long the rendering process took place for each single frame?

NB: The lighting is awesome! Too bad there is no human model there...

How do you know that The Matrix in which you are in is not a Matrix? Or, there are no turtles all the way down? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtles_all_the_way_down)

Cheers, Amit
