3 D CGI Enterprise Animation

Okay, here's my very first LW animation:

Trek opening shot

It's an attempt to recreate the general look of the TOS effects, including the flat lighting, random "giant" stars and the slightly jumpy ship motion in the last frames. I figure I'll start from there and work toward something more sophisticated -- Vektor is doing an amazing job of duplicating TOS effects for a project of his over in WIP,
and I can't see doing as well or better. So after I get a general feel for the look of the original, I'm going to try a slightly different approach.

I'm working with "Balance Of Terror", teaching myself Premiere and some other stuff while I work on the animation, so I slid the animation into the beginning seconds of the episode.

I don't know how long I can keep the animation up over at Subspace, because of bandwidth issues, but for now here it is.

Looks like you did a fine job to me. You should try re-doing all the effects shots in the episode, just for fun.

You and Vektor should team up and redo the series

123, I'm curious...

How can you watch the animation and comment on it when the file hasn't been online for two years? Is there some secret to viewing this clip that I'm not familiar with? Or perhaps it's magic?

Or MAYBE it's just that you're trying to bump that post count up...

Good luck with that.
