CGI Video Animation: "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft"

This is a music video I made by compiling some CGI animations I rendered in 3D Studio Max. It's an early attempt and some of the animations are a little rough, but I think It's still fun. Some of the models were made by me, others are from various 3D internet sites.

The song is "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft" by a Canadian group named Klaatu.

Enjoy!

Superb Video!

@Boots59100 Thank you! Looking back, I wish I'd added more action to it since it's really just various ships flying by the camera (essentially just a series of beauty shots); but people seem to like it so I can't really complain. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Your powers of observation are astonishing! You should be a detective or something. Don't let that keen perception of yours go to waste.

The original is by Klaatu. The Carpenter version stinks

I think you did a superb job on this video, Well Done!

@buckaroohawk When you can, look for the full-length version online and check it out. It's off Klaatu's first album, called "3:47 EST, " or simply "Klaatu," as most of us know it. I remember when Klaatu came out with that album, and a rumor started that they were really The Beatles recording under a different name. Interesting times.

@SciFiBMovieGuy I wasn't aware that a seven minute version of the song existed. When I made this video, I don't think I had enough clips to fill up a song of that length! ;-)

I wish I'd used the Jupiter 2 model more often. It's really nice looking and the interior adds a lot of realism. Perhaps I'll feature it again, but not in a music video. I've gotten too much flack from music companies about using music without permission that it's not worth my time anymore. Glad you enjoyed the video!

@buckaroohawk When I mentioned "full-length," I was talking about the whole seven minutes and some-odd seconds of the original version of "Calling Occupants." The version you're using is abbreviated, although your work is still very good. As far as the Jupiter 2, I wasn't complaining about it not being shown enough. I was just happy to see the that particular craft in your video, since I'm passionate about "Lost in Space" AND "Calling Occupants." Keep up the good work!
