Compositing. Render multiple passes with different characters, props, etc.
Cuts down on resources, so you only have to render out a few item at a time.
I do this all the time, even if I have 1 or 2 characters in the scene as it allows more flexibility in re-coloring, fake depth of field or effects work.
Photoshop works fine for stills. After Effects for video - there are other apps out there as well that can do this as well.
SendintheClones works well too, but I usually find it just as easy to create a "crowd" by rendering an animation of just a few characters and doing the cloning and positioning/scaling in AE.
