Steven Spielberg can retire. Digital video is taking over.
This awesome video shows how three graphic designers recreated the Normandy landings in four days for a BBC TV documentary. I saw the show before I saw this video and I really thought that the BBC had licensed the clips from Saving Private Ryan. It’s that good.
The other day, I mentioned that my old Canon colour inkjet printer was a transformational piece of kit in the early nineties. Perhaps HD video, 3D graphics and digital editing software could have the same effect today. Why spend $100m on a movie when these guys can do it at home on their Mac. Amazing stuff.

Very impressive. I also assumed that the BBC had used footage from Saving Private Ryan.
I do hope this sparks off a craze on Youtube. I look forward to the Battle of the Five Armies (from the Hobbit) recreated by two men and a dog.
