Tim,
I loved this and am looking forward to future episodes! In particular, I'd like to comment on a few things that stand out for me...
Story, story, story... great job! It seems to me that the time you spent writing the story and all the story-boarding paid off in spades. You kept me interested throughout and anxious for more.
Audio... again, excellent job! In particular, Kudo's to your wife for her talent not only in the voice-overs but the singing parts. I love the theme/title song written for this, as well as the execution of it and placements/timing within the clip. It really contributes to the overall ambience/mood. You also did an excellent job with the background sfx, which peolpe take for granted - ship engine hum, singing inside a bubble, with breathing apperatis (sp) dispersion sounds, voice-over-comm-link, etc all combined to great effect.
Expression/emotion... very nice work on the facial expressions used to convey the emotion of the scene(s). I particularly liked the scene with Kara after opening the ship air-lock, reading the gauge and trying to look back over her shoulder (within the confines of the EVA suit) with uncertainty...
...there are some things I could critique you on (relatively stiff body movements, etc), but the combination of Story/Pacing/Audio/Expression all carry this work above the bar.
Congrats.
Keith
