Untitled Animation

So lately I've been working on this animation for the Northern Design Competition. The story is, put simply,  about the end of the Earth. Its a simple story, but I think it works quite well, what with all the global warming and natural disasters going on nowadays. The animation is set on Earth, at a launch site. and in space, which features all the planets, the Sun and even the asteroid belt ;) The launch site has been used from an animation I made earlier called Leaving Earth, but has been adapted to fit with the size of the new space shuttle.

Here are some renders, some of which are tests others are from the animation itself.

(Saturn with Sun in background)



(Some of the planets orbiting the sun)

Ill be uploading the video soon so check back to see the final piece. Its looking good so far so im just hoping that it looks good when its all edited together.
