Under attack - Avon

This is Avon episode 2.

In episode 1 we saw that the crew of the XP911, an alien space ship, rescued Avon from a certain death. Shortly after the XP911 was attacked by the federation. Will the XP911 survive the attack or is the fight for freedom and justice lost forever?

Avon is based on the BBC cult television series Blake's 7.

All voices in this episode are computer generated voices, which I like to call CGV (Computer Generated Voices).

I've created the 3D computer animation with :
- Vue Studio Pro 6
- Poser 8
- Carrara 7 Pro
- Daz Mimic Pro
- Daz 3D studio advanced
- Moviestorm (the people of the federation)

The CGV are created with the folowing text to speech engines:
- Cepstral Swift talker (Alison, Callie, Diane, Walter and William)
- Sayz Me (Mary)
- Neospeech Kate
- Neospeech Paul

Sound editing:
- CoolEdit Pro

Video editing:
- Ulead Media Studio Pro 8

Sound effects:
- Freesound.org
- Matchware Mediater 9 EXP
- Moviestorm

Music:
- created with Magix Music Maker
- Moviestorm, I don't know which theme pack, sorry

Special Effects:
- FXHome Effectslab Pro

3D Models:
DAZ Victoria 2 as Callie and as an alien
DAZ Victoria 3 as Amanda
DAZ Victoria 4 as Victoria
DAZ Michael 3 as Avon

Federation crew are moviestorm models.

Texture and head of Avon is modeled after a picture of Paul Darrow the actor that role-played Avon in Blake's 7 in the 70s and early 80s.

The XP911 is a model created by me in Anim8or

I think the way Blake's seven was ended was bleak and quite upsetting, I am also surprised arch-enemy Servalan, was omitted from the last ever episode. I also think that there is a possibility that Avon could have died but we did'nt see him shot down we know Blake is definitely dead and gone, a request Gareth Thomas made . There are fans we still believe that the Blake who Avon, shot dead was a clone Blake similar to the one seen in season two, in the episode weapon. Nobody really knows .

Hi Unkletom,

I've never heard of ScreaminbBee but it sounds interesting though. Still: I've a funny accent (being Dutch and all).... ;-)

I'm glad that you liked Avon part 2. I'm now working on part 3.

[hnonlinemagazine]

Hi Wendy,

Yes... I liked Orac too but wasn't Orac destroyed in the last episode? I hope that you like the computer on the space ship too....

[Unkletom45044]

Fantastic graphics and editing- you have exceptional talent. Great sound fx and bg music. Voices are a pain to do. I use ScreamingBee (search YouTube) but voice talent takes practice. You are very creative script and dialog writer! Wonderful and entertaining job!
