Very nice, I especially liked the second one! Nice subtle camera jitter, and the environment is beautiful.

I didn't much like the sun glow when it comes out from behind the space station in the first clip. It was too random or too fast animated or something... Also the shadow areas of the space station did not seem to quite match the sun direction.

I think some stars in the background would be nice.

All in all, great work, I hope to see more! Are you working on a short film, or what?

This is not a short film, just an intro.

I have a dilema which compostion is better:
VERSION A:

or VERSION B:

http://www.akurra.com/wip/space/B.jpg
the animations for these are:

If it was me, I'd have the shuttle coming from the left bottom corner of the screen.

That would take the eye in it's natural direction towards the space station.

And what a nice looking space station it is!

Haven't seen much of this lately.

Thanks.
Yup, I always wanted to do my little own "space opera". With lens-flares, planet and stuff. :)

Wow! :eek: :eek:

I really like the station lights scene.

The second one looks good too, except the spaceships are dissapearing. :)

I love the design of the station. It's like a huge jellyfish.

The camera movements and the smaller ships give it a nice sense of scale too.

Definitely would like to see more of this. :)

My vote goes to version A. :)
