If anyone is interested in the VFX of the movie, you can take a look at this BTS/Breakdown:
 

1. Thank you! I really appreciate this. We don't really think so mush about this, we just do films the way we like to watch films ourself. (and we don't watch a lot of Beck) 
2. It wasn't that hard. I attach some BTS stills of the camera
3. Of course! Easter eggs from most of my favorite films can be spotted in the movie. I'll send you a dammsugare if you can spot homages to The lord of the rings, Jurassic Park, Lost and Home Alone.
 
I think this is the numbers you are looking for:
120 shooting days
79 hours of raw material
420 vfx shots
19 crashed cars
Over 1000 extras
360 000 liter rain
3 broken bones
82 locations
3000 liter coffee
7 liter fake blood
 

That's exactly what we aimed for! To tell a big, apocalyptic story, but through the eyes of the people. How would you and I act if our country was attacked by a mysterious enemy?
We tried as hard as we could to do as mush as possible for real. Of course it's a lot of CGI, the movie as 420 VFX shots, but we really tried to avoid all-CGI shots. The shot with the helicopters is one of the heaviest VFX-shots and include a lot of 3D. The helicopters, the threes they interact with, one car, smoke and some debris is all CGI. But what really sells the shot is the plates of real smoke, debris, dirt and rain. We spent a week in a studio blowing things up. We shoot rain, glas explosions, fire, smoke, falling birds and more. Everything that we couldn't do for real on set, we tried to shoot for real in post and comp in. 3D always was the last way out. 
The movie also include som mayor miniature shoots. We're going to release a BTS video for that next week, but here is some stills:

Wow. Thanks for those kind words. I’m the director/writer/VFX-supervisor & a member of Crazy Pictures which means that I’m kind of involvd in most things regarding this project. We worked qite hard to achive a high production value with the small budget we had, so it feel GREAT to hear that you enjoyed the result. 
(extra fun to hear about your girlfriends reaction!)
If there’s anything you wonder about the production, the process or some technical details, feel free to ask.  

Budget + look. We could afford more expensive lenses, but the look of the Russians were exactly what we wanted for this project. Together with the oval iris we added to all of the lenses they looked like vintage lenses, but without the cost, weight and headache that comes with real anamorphics. 
 
I think my favorite lens was the Helios 44-2 together with Richard Gale's wide angle adapter. The character is out of the world!
