Perhaps off topic, but I am posting this here because of how amazing this video is, showing how just threes guys and a weekend of their time created a video of an army (the 3 guys, cloned to create the look of a whole squad storming the beach) invading Normandy beach. Shows how large budget effects can be pulled off on almost no budget. Posting it here because it can impact what screenwriters like me and others might think we could/should write or not write for low budget films.

Buffer it and then fast forward to 3 minutes into the video if you want to just see the finished product-- storming of Omaha beach WWII, done with just 3 actors, a 3D model of a boat, and use of miniature scale model (sand box) and some firecrackers.
