Ok so I couldnt think of a very imaginative title to this animation im working on, anyway, ive done the first 30 seconds or so, its so time consuming! heh, Ive used a fusion on Particle Illusion and Truespace 7 via Adobe Premier Pro 1.5/2.0
The Track is taken from the Fifth Element Soundtrack, I think the guy who made that soundtrack did the music for Goldeneye (James Bond) which was also awesome heh.
Anyway please take a look and tell me what you think

Aaaarrgh! I can't wait to see what happens next - I keep looking out my window at the sky!
The rocket launch sequence needs way more light around the rocket exhaust - it should light up the hatch and maybe even be so bright it washes the whole scene out with glare - this would add to the drama IMO.
The whole thing looks a little too dark on my monitor and while the music works really well in the first half it feels a little too jolly for the drama of the second half.
Not that I can be too critical as I've done very little in the way of animation myself. |

Nice work! That opening sequence was just stunning!
I liked the shaking and blur effects you used. Here's a suggestion: Add a Green, red, or blue grid behind the lettering, but make it pulse on and off, to add to the suspense. Maybe even have the horizontal and vertical lines cross each other, as a cool effect.
Sound effects would also enhance it a ton.
Overall though, very good so far! I'll be watching this to see where it goes.

cheers, elaborate more on the lines heh im not quite sure i get what you mean. Yeh perhaps I should add more sound effects, there is an explosion sound as the meteor appears but perhaps it gets eaten by the music too much heh, anyway im back to my computer so ill start work today hopefully |

Very suspenseful! I really love the camera shake, it really adds to the drama... can't wait for more.

Awesome I love it.... one question though... shouldn't the Meteor be pockmarked with craters? |

That looks great. Thanks for sharing this with us. I'm interested in seeing what happens!
Any pointers on how you did the explosion at the beginning?

Yeh, the metoer is a little weird, I think im working on an idea that it is different, the idea is that it will just dart into the ground like a large spike and release something?....maybe heh. So its more of an alien artifact type thingy.

lol lol lol, im ashamed to say, Particle Illusion is responsible, also for the smoke coming out of the rocket which you can barely see heh.
It is something I might remake because the original idea was that the meteor appears from a portal I played around with doing some kind of black hole idea but nothing seems to work out how I want it to heh. |
