Hi, all -

Just thought I'd share some work in progress and ask for critique and suggestions.

Since I was a kid I've had a fascination with flying saucers attacking (you might remember that under my old name -- AzChip -- I won one of our Carrara/RDS forum competitions with just such an image). So, lately I've decided to attack my new home town with some flying saucers.

The link will take you to a link to a clip of six shots -- still very much in progress -- using all sorts of software. The ships and some of the debris (including the hotel sign in the last shot) were built in Carrara. Other software used includes Photoshop, Particle Illusion, and AfterEffects.

The clip is about 1 and a half meg, so it might take a bit to load in....

I'm sorry to you Mac folks, but this clip is in Windows Media, and I don't think it'll play for you. If I figure out how to post a QT up, I'll let y'all know.

I'd really appreciate any constructive criticism -- what can I do to make it look better?

I'm happy to answer any questions, too.

Thanks!
