This one was a load of fun to create. I started out with the NY skyline, then added my Buttercup to the image. I had a video file of a chroma-keyed explosion that I used VirtualDub to export out as an image file. I then went ahead and modeled the space ships and then comped it all together. I had a hard time getting her contrail to show, so I changed the image to an overlay. It darkened the scene, but it still looks pretty cool to me. Buttercup is taking out the alien ships one by one while her sisters battle the ground forces and try to assist in the evacuation of the city...

If I had a nickle for ever time a woman told me to get lost, I could buy Manhattan.
