That is without a doubt, the most amazing piece of work (like this) I have ever seen.

Think about it ... three kids with no budget manage to replicate just about every special effect from the movie. And how much did the real matrix movie cost and how long that took ?

Did they mention how much they spent on this ?

Absolutely amazing !

[edit re: how much]

They mentioned it "ate up all their savings"

Actually, yes.

The website itself contains some info on how they made the movie. The (German) article I read also stated that production costs were about 2000 Euro (mostly for rented equipment like cameras) plus a 3000 Euro bill from their ISP due to the huge amount of downloads (over 9 million viewers estimated). Even the Wachowski brothers are supposed to have seen that film.

You can find the German article here: http://www.rp-online.de/public/article/multimedia/netzreporter/16196

Shawn: You should put a Matrix-related easter egg into KiXforms. For example an object that creates the letter waterfall or something similar [Big Grin]

2000 Euro is like 2200 bucks US, thats a little hard to believe. Some of that 3D Studio software they used could cost that much maybe ... their leather jackets could cost that much [Wink]

Regardless, its stunning.

I think I know why it does not come for me.
the bloody ie cache leaks over and thus does corrupt it.
I will find a way around it.

it's the MS sample driver for w2k.
it has it's own quick setup guide [Wink]

it also says that it shouldn't be used in production as it's only sample but it has worked perfectly for me.

sadly can't use it for swap-file though [Frown]
but IE flies really fast when it's cache is on ram [Big Grin]

bah. Not meant to cry for acceptance or something ... just wondered [Roll Eyes]

Outstanding work that Matrix XP project [Eek!]
One can imagine after seeing the outtakes (also available as Mpeg Movie there)
