The New York Times spoke to Final Flight of the Osiris director Andy Jones about making the film:
"We tried to do a lot in those nine minutes," said Andy Jones, the director of the film, which took 13 months to complete. "We had to build so many sets, so many sentinels," he said, referring to mechanized hordes that look like a cross between an angry squid and a bomb.

Everything on screen, from the glint in a character's eye to the character itself, from the clouds in the virtual sky to a crack in the virtual street below, was created with software in high-powered computers. In fact, each frame -- 24 per second -- contains, on average, 15 layers of digital details, Mr. Jones said. The final product was transferred to film so it could be widely shown in theaters
