Thanks Maru! Yes, pretty much everything was done in Corona. The participating media in the opening shot is Coronas volume fog, it was really impressive to see how fast the renderer did the job here - in an otherwise unlit scene with only one spot light.
Fog / nebula in all other shots were comped, particles for the "library" (the neo-classical structure) were done in pflow.
During an early development stage I had decided to go with a lot of compositing, and this is what was particularly pleasing for me about Corona: individual passes rendered incredibly fast - and we're talking here a 24 core double Xeon from four years ago plus two i7 slaves, so in terms of hardware I was rather limited. Overall rendering time per frame was around 10-15 for simple and 20-40 min full HD for complex scenes with a lot of difficult lighting conditions. I started compositing some shots in fusion, but yet again switched back to after effects rather quickly, I basically tend to use fusion for tonemapping only - kinda lazy to take care of it during the actual rendering.
I hope I'll find some time to write a more in depth review of the creation process.
