'Invasion of the Robots' by Conz is not only a great demonstration of the upcoming Blender camera tracking function, but it's also a great example of lighting and compositing. Background info on BlenderArtists.
Note: the main robot in the first shot is real - the robots in the background are CG!
I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.

XD cool tomato :D
Is it just me or does one of the two together in the background rise up a couple of pixels?
Really nice with the car. Looking forward to a sequel?
This is just too good.... I can't tell which parts are 3D. Is it just the robots?
Oops! Sorry, I commented before reading the background info from the link provided.
Anyway, amazing stuff. Blender really have great potentials!
When will camera tracking be integrated into Blender?
Just realized that the main robot is actually real... I'd be interested in seeing a focused version of the 3D robot integrated, though
Wow! Them robots looked incredibly realistic.
Fantastic stuff! I'd like to see some tutorials on how to use the camera feature to make my own sci-fi video.
nice! I thought the robots were toys and the words were just being tracked at first.

He mowed that robot down like it wasn't even there. :'(
@Ammunisionist: "Is it just me or does one of the two together in the background rise up a couple of pixels?" Yeah, good spot at around 0;08-0:09. But I must say that it is a very good example of what is achievable with a feature still in development.
Great future for Blender indeed.
Way to go Conz! :D
@Ammusionist: Yep, the match fails.
