There are over 800 VFX shots in the film, more than most franchise tent poles

Shot entirely on the new Red cameras with the Mysterium-X chip owned by Greg Strause and Colin Strause

The filmmakers shot a test trailer on Thanksgiving 2009, while the writers started developing the treatment, marking less than a year from the blank page to the big screen

The film was shot almost entirely at co-director Greg Strause's condo building adjacent to Marina Del Rey (but technically located in the city limits of Venice, Los Angeles)

Most of the large alien spaceships were designed from the different appearances of various low altitude clouds ranging from Stratocumulus clouds to Cumulus clouds

The film was completely financed by Greg Strause and Colin Strause without the assistance of any major studio

Filming only cost $500,000, while the digital effects cost an additional $10 million
