It was done by a couple of self-taught special-effects artists on their home systems in their spare time over a period of about 3.5 months with readily available (though not exactly cheap) software. Just as a reminder of how long ago that was in computer terms, here's the computer equipment they used to make it (courtesy of <a href=http://www.405themovie.com/faq.asp>405themovie.com</a>: The film was created using PC's running Windows NT. Here are the specs: Dual Celeron 300 mhz dual processors (overclocked to 450 mhz), 384 MB ram, 24 gig storage, DPS Perception Pentium II 450 mhz processor, 512 MB of ram, 4 gig storage Pentium III 500 mhz processor, 256 MB of ram, 24 gig storage, DPS Perception
