Thank you very much!
Good work.
I have only one suggestion: use Jean Michel Jarre's music. Arthur Clarke himself said that JMJ's music inspire him to crete "2010: A Space Odissey". I think it was e great link between A.C. Clarkes novels and JMJ's music. I read all stories from Clarke and all under JMJ's music. It is fantastic!!!

@JARREmenoid are you sure about the Clarke-Jarre thing? Jarre irst album was in 1969, Clarke's novel came out in 1968...maybe you mean Kubrick and The movie?

They could. I agree strongly. Too bad the UK GDP is probably 100 million dollars :-P

Thanks! The first track is from Lost Highway by Angelo Badalamenti. The second is called Intifada by Zdenek Bartak.

a stunning technical achievement for a student film, but even in 3 minutes they made so many fuckups it is equally stunning. I could list them but it's not like you are going to learn anything.

@illustriouschin your comment would be very much welcome if you did list some constructive criticism, instead you chose to come off as an ass.

if they need a youtube comment to learn about all their technical and canonical inaccuracies then they are truly fucked. In that case my constructive criticism is to jam that cylinder up their collective asses. but hey, they moved on to bigger and better things so bully for them.

The one big mistake was that they had such strong "gravity" in the video. According to the book in the center, where the dock was, they had virtually no gravity. only as you descended from the center to the outer edges of Rama did you start having any real downward force. They should've been basically weightless. So the way the flare fell wasn't realistic either.
