Now, what you need to do is try to remake all the deleted scenes from the FS1;)

Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

opened it fine,

that thing is great, only sudgestion would be to vary the fly by sounds a lot more than you did (the pitch) and to just generaly make the things move faster, also sound effects should be roughly twice as loud as they are, and specmap those things!

and the myrmadon weapon points are wrong

I knew that there was something I kept meaning to mention to CF :)

I am wondering why isn't the Aeoles returning fire? or atleast a few shots. It just sits there later in the animation.

saw this movie - great stuff.
Only suggestions I can mentioned have been mentioned already, except 1:

Keep the last bit with the Myrmidon going slow and the weapons passing by - it looks sorta Matrix style. Maybe speeding it up after it dodges the laser blast speed it up again? Space Matrix sounds kinda fun ;)

Inspiring.

Thanks for the feedback! :)

I'm working on the new version, but rendering takes time. In fact, it takes ages ;) I'll try to fix most of the things you've mentioned.

@Bobboau

The ships have specmaps :p LW just handles everything differently and DivX alway takes away certain details. I have improved the ships a bit in the next version, should be a bit better. And no, I don't care if the firing points of Myrmidon are incorrect (bloody nitpickers ;) )

@Singh

Space Matrix? You can be sure I didn't intend to do that :D

@Everyone with download problems

The download still works here, altough it's a bit slow (12kb/s). Could you suggest a better hosting then, because I'm not aware of any that I can use for free (26Mb is quite a big file, you know).

Gamespy would complain if we uploaded to the site itself. I could try fileplanet I suppose. Except that I've not tried before and I'm scared :D

Hmmm. I get it at steady 50,2 kbps [yes, I have a crappy connection].

And Firefox seemed somewhat repulsive with it, so I tried rigth click -> save link as. And it works fine.

Edit: finished and watched.

A bit too slow-paced in my opinion. Needs more frantic Myrm/Mara action. Like the dogfights - missiles here and there, ships pouring dozens of shot everywhere, AAAf zapping ---

OK, I think I'll go to make these animations. But first I must learn it.

My only gripe is the lack of muzzle flashes..
I know theyre supposed to be lasers, but it just seems... dull without them...
What program?

@Janos

I'm already making the anim more fast-paced and maybe add a few more things. If you'd know how much work making an anim takes, you wouldn't even start ;)

@Bobboau

Ok, ok. Tell me where firing points are and I'll fix it.

@Thorn

Hmmm... muzzle flashes. I'll have to think about those.

The anim is entirely rendered in Lightwave, put together in Adobe Premiere.
