Omaha Beach On A Budget
"...promo clip for the upcoming "Bloody Omaha" special on the BBC (narrated by Top Gear's Richard Hammond) shows how three designers used small cameras, hand-held greenscreens, and an armada's worth of technical know-how to recreate the Allied storming of Omaha Beach."
The film clip breezes over the compositing part, but it'd be interesting to know how much time and money that stage involved. It might still be cheap, but it's a little hard to tell.

All I can say after watching that is "Wow!"
As far as costs, I bet they spent less than Spielberg did in one day on Craft Services to feed the extras during the filming of "Saving Private Ryan."
Amazing, simply amazing.
I'm sure you're right about the cost. I can't help but wonder if they're still trying to make it look even cheaper and faster than it really was!
This is just one of the most incredible things I've ever seen. Thanks for posting it.
Wow.
