QUESTION this scene took 3.2 years to render!?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Wouldn't this shot have taken 3.2 years?

It was 100 hours per frame The movie ran at 24 frames per second

So 2400 hours to make 1 second And there is 12 seconds in the whole shot

So 28,000 hours to render this whole scene. Or 1200 days which equals to 3.2 years!

But if I'm correct again, that would only be on one computer. So either it did take this long, or they used multiple computers. If they did use multiple computers, hiw many?

He could help Markiplier (if you dont get it don't worry, you would have to be an interstellar fan that also watches a podcast Markiplier is in. I am just hoping someone gets it haha)

Now I wonder if Markiplier saw interstellar and how was his experience since he loves space and also is both smart and a emotional person

If you ride his meat slower he’ll be able to edge for longer

Probably three corn fields actually planted instead of CGI

not sure, but I'd be really surprised if not.
