The shot of dark clouds in the first trailer (at 01:20) and the snowed mountain range (at 02:00) look like they could be TG2. The shot of the lake just after that of the mountains (at 02:05) actually looks like a render I've seen around these forums somewhere (though I can't remember where).
In the second trailer, the first few shots of the mountain range (at 00:09) and the moorland (at 00:15) look like TG2. The shot of the mountain at 01:15 actually looks more like TG 0.9...

Actually I think he's using TG 0.9. Would have been even better results with TG2 I reckon. :)

Brilliant! Thank you so much for sharing the link! The film rocks, though I think they used TG 0.9. Quite a few zaggies :)

they used TG 0.9 and I think its amazing what they achieved. From technical and visual side its one of the best fan films I have seen so far. Probably they stayed to close with the "original" look. The story could have been better though.
