A teaser, even though I swore against showing a shot....
Even though I swore I would not post any teasers or footage from my upcoming project, I caved...thanks to insatiable curiosity from some folks. So, here's the shot of my Vipers zooming through the Rag Tag Fleet to intercept a rather fearsome intruder. The visual glitch at the beginning will be edited out when I insert it into the final product. 
Over 8,800,000 faces in this singular shot.

So much to learn , so little time, and so many ideas with so little knowledge and so much to discover with so many things to try.

Re: A teaser, even though I swore against showing a shot....
LOL! Thanks, Thunderstruck. Indeed....trying to keep a lot of stuff under wraps is pretty hard, especially if you're trying to drive up interest in the project.
Yeah, I should've said "facets", but iClone refers to each side of a polygon as a face. But yeah, 8.8 million facets in this shot.
In truth, I was never really able to imagine the true breadth and depth of the RTF until I did this shot....it's pretty staggering to think that the Big G was protecting THAT many ships...and they had to keep some distance apart to keep from mid-space collisions.
And oh yes, CB songs were very popular back in the hey day of CB radio, which was indeed the mid 70's. Heck, I vaguely remember the Kris Kristofferson movie based upon the song.

I dare not show that to my Clone Wars fan kids. One sight of that Republic Cruiser/Star Destroyer and they will be begging you for the story.

I LOVE the Clone Wars.
I am about to reach the first action beat in my story, but I don't know how long the story itself is going to be. I want this to be more than just some fanboy whimsy animation of who would kick who's butt...I really want a good story to tell with this. Hopefully won't be too long, but yes, progress progresses.

Re: A teaser, even though I swore against showing a shot....
PROGRESS REPORT:
Reassembling the footage that has been re-worked into MP4 format...and it flows quite nicely. Still getting the Galactica scenes together, and by that, I mean getting the scenes shot. (Have to rebuild some of the sets). I can easily see that this entire movie will be at least over a half-hour long. If I manage to get it to feature length (an hour or better) I'll be really happy.
The transitions also seem to be much smoother in MP4 format. Hopefully I will not run into those half-second hangs like I did in .WMV format, which I vehemently REFUSE to export to in the future. The AVI to MP4 format is most definitely the way to go...especially shooting in hi-definition.
While the quality is not "Clone Wars" level, it is definitely shaping up to look like a miniature Star Wars movie!
