Cheers buddy, don't be jealous those two mins forty five equals enough stress and late nights to ensure my body aged by 40 years LOL

Thanks for the kind words though... I really appreciate it :)

[stevetalkowski]

Nice work!

[CartoonBeardy]

Thanks man, I appreciate it :) Glad you like it :)

Great work! Always happy to see LightWave in a demo reel. Although I have to say, as much as I love Asteroids Galaxy Tour I was always warned against using music with lyrics because the viewer may pay more attention to the song than your work.

[CartoonBeardy]

Thanks for the kind words. Lightwave gets a good outing here especially with the cell shaded stuff (all the UFO scenes and the stormhawks planes are all Lightwave along with the Nostromo and Narcissus)

As for the music, yeah it was a tough decision but it worked well with the cut so I took a gamble.

[RoastedStix]

wow that was just stunning,CN definitely should look like that, you know i also have a dream of working at cartoon network someday :)

[evilincproductions]

woo dude u did this nice job!!

[Samtfell]

Wow! That's awesome Lee! I LOVE your Artoo! :)

I appreciate Phil's comment about the lyrics, but it's a fun song for a fun reel. Ultimately, most people hiring aren't watching with sound on anyway. Great job on this so far Mate - wish my reel were as good!
