In this episode I wanted to play with lighting and practice with the camera some more. I also wanted to be more adventurous with sound. Mixed results there, tho, I think. Ah, well...

Learning iClone is fun...there is so much to explore. I hope I am getting better at it! ;)

Oh, and I know that there would be no fire and smoke in space! There would be no sound either, but things just seem so much cooler with the fx than without so the fire stays!

One more epsiode to go for Season 1. That should be up next week. It's been fun...thanks for watching so far.

I've really liked the series until now. However, this one's a bit confusing. Also, while I like the design of most ships, I had to chuckle when I saw the design of the tiny space patrol "car". Really, it looks just like a futuristic, sporty flying red car. I can't imagine space police using this for interplanetary patrol. (Where's the engine, fuel, & radiation shielding?) Also, I don't like the idea of these characters becoming traitors & killers. So I can not give this one a thumbs up.

[VectisEthaniel]

Lol. Yes, the patrol ship...this was actually a very rough model which was meant to be enhanced before it was ever used. However, when the series stopped being an educational collaboration and became something I did alone in my study at 3am (Well, what else would I be doing? ;) ), I just left it as it was. Techinically, the there is supposed to be radiation shielding and the doors are supposed to be closed etc. And it was supposed to be patrol car colour!

[VectisEthaniel]

However, I lack the techinical ability to make all those changes so I left it "as is". Sure, I could have used another model entirely, but I just didn't really think about it. Strange, I know. As for the characters becoming traitors...well, watch season two.  This is SciFi remember? Things are not always what they seem...

Another great episode VectisEthaniel, Characters are developing great, nice shock at the end there, Intriguing.

[VectisEthaniel]

Thanks Christy0. Ep 6 is up now, but, er...don't hope for too many answers! Lol! Again, thank you for the comment. All the best for Xmas!

Like the Galactic Patrol sets and uniforms, some great lighting on the last sets, getting better. Voice work is brilliant.

[VectisEthaniel]

I thank you, sir. :) Credit for the Galactic Patrol sets has to go to Coolclones.  The costumes are mine, however. Thanks again for the comment & rating.
