You may not have heard the name Thilo Ewers but he's something of a visual FX wunderkind. For example, he's currently working under-the-radar as the lead digital matte painter on two of this year's biggest releases - Roland Emmerich's 2012, and James McTeigue's Ninja Assasin. Not too shabby.
Last year, Ewers made a beautiful animated short film called They Will Come to Town. Actually, it's more of a public service announcement as you'll see, but it is truly stunning to look at and showcases what Ewers can do with a few million pixels at his disposal.
You'll find the spot after the break. And, as usual, let us know what you thought in the comments below.
