It's FINALLY complete! My new animation, this time with the updated ship "Hanchan" NX22. New modeling and much better camera movement and planning. Quite an improvement on the animation before this.
Not sure when i'll be able to get onto finishing episode 2, maybe a month or two :3
Fabi, u da man! Great improvement on the last animation, and that one was pretty darn good in the first place! You're really getting funky with the camera movement here, and the warp sequence at the beginning is classic!
My only critique (hope you don't mind critique) is that some of it is a little slow editing-wise; you could be more brutal and shorten/speed up certain bits (especially the bit with the floating mines). Sorry, I don't mean to be picky cos really this is a phenomenal piece of work and I'm consistently impressed with your development as an animator/editor so please don't get me wrong!
And what the HELL IS THAT BIG SHIP at the end?! I probably should know, but I'm not clued up on the Borg stuff - there's a lot of Next Gen I need to watch. Great cliff-hanger anyway, I'm waiting for the continuation!
Respect.
Camera movement is one thing i REALLY tried hard to improve, as well as the movement of things in general. Slowly getting the hang of it! Critique is always good,- I tried to get the slow speed to fit with the music, but i see what you mean... not much happens until halfway through the movie...
The ship at the end is a Borg tactical fusion cube, basically 8 borg cubes joined together into one big cube. In the series/games the fusion cube would be at least double the size if not more but i didnt have enough room in the "set" to fit in such a huge ship :3
Should be starting on the next part over the hols! Thanksies for de comment! X3
good, very good, indeed, *favvs it* but...one or 2 small floors in it...
1, the lack of ACTION till about 1/2 way through
2, really cool effect, but u have gone for the cartoon effect a bit, and while it totally ROCKS, u have crossed themes a bit with the explosion, to me (could just be a faulty brain) it looks a bit unrealistic cos the explosions LOOK real, but the rest looks cartoony
and 3rd...NO PROTON TORPEDOES, ARE U CRAZY???

The halfway through thing, yeah i noticed that after it was all rendered. Because it's a three part animation in total and storyboarding/timing is worked out for the whole thing together the action starts about 1/6th into the final one, 's just 'cause this is the beginning part :3
Explosions, i plan to make 'em look more toony for the next one :3
