First Contact

spent months on this so far, complete with full voice cast, and if all goes well it should be ready by early 2013.

Wowwwwwwww! This looks absolutely amazing, did you do it yourself? Wish I had these skills... Stunning!

Very good stuff you have, the build up to the look on that officer's face when he realizes what he is looking at. The visuals and design are like SW and ST merged for a James Cameron survival story. I like how the plates on the surfaces of those large ships don't present a flat surface as if cut from one piece of metal, but are built upon to make a feast of shapes.

One thing, are you going to keep the walking animation of the guy coming down the corridor? Its a bit catwalk-ish and pulls attention away from the focus of the demo, but thankfully doesn't succeed in ruining it because it is shown early enough.

Wait.. is this machinima.. or did you create that animation all by yourself?! This is beyond beautiful! :D

i did the whole thing myself, and now i have a full professional voice cast on board i have to create many more scenes than originally anticipated. It has taken a long time to get to this stage yet i know there is just so much more to do, as a single animator that can put a strain on things.

I do get a lot of comments about the camp walk, I will be keeping that in only because it took 2 hours to set up the scene and 6 hours to manually animate him. now animating human movements is not easy, by the time that clip was finished i was just too tired to go back and re edit it. that will be the only camp walk in the film though
