Did you know
• The CGI were rendered using standard home computers. In some scenes a single frame could take over ten hours to render and in one second of footage there are 25 frames. Overall, the CGI seen in the movie took five years to render.
• The footage of a deserted Helsinki appearing in P-fleet propaganda was shot late at night when traffic was slow. The shoot was arranged during the "nightless nights" of Finnish summer when the sun sets only for a few hours, so the footage appears to be shot during daytime.
• Produced mainly by a team of five friends, and took seven years to complete.
