I have not been getting the right mood for the Romulan Intro.

This model will replace the Romulan emblem at the beginning. The emblem is fine
for use in the game but I need something with a different feeling for the intro.

Animation to follow....

O...M...G. In a good way. Can't wait for the animation of this beauty.

By the way Kenneth, I saw you on Torchwood last week. It was all of 0.5 of a second, but I definitely saw the golden cowboy.

---So cool that Torchwood aired for you. I would have to buy a subscription to the Starz network here in the US to see it. For all of 0.5 seconds I will wait for it online or DVD though. Thanks for the heads up. (For that 0.5 of a second I got paid 165 dollars US.) How is the show going?

A test animation is cooking now to see how the bird flies with lens flare.

Ok so writing "Torchwood" is a little creepy when it comes to someone from your area of the world matress. I hope you and your family are not affected or anyone else you love (by the riots).

Kenneth: I gotta admit that that logo is a big improvement that I should have thought of. Can't wait to see it.

This is really great Kenneth!
I completely agree with with MOE about the animation! Woohoo!

Working on a Warbird while the test animations render on the other two computers.

Pretty cool

I have updated the opening but still need to work what comes next.

That is Superbly done!

The Romulans are going to have the best intro of all.

As it should be.

Kenneth, why don't you just torrent Torchwood? There's plenty of torrents out there. Loads of people in the UK are still torrenting it because they've cut out the naughty bits in the UK version lol. Even then though I think the current series is relatively tame compared to the previous series. The language and gore has definitely been tuned down for American audiences.

Don't worry about the riots Bashir, Matress is safe. Some idiots where I live tried to organise trouble via Facebook and were arrested straight away. It was over the local news about it. It's quite funny really, as my town has a reputation for being really rough and yet there's been nothing. And that's really saying something because half our police force has been sent to help London cope, so it's not even as if the police are out en masse here. So far 1500 people have been arrested and the courts are working 24 hours a day to process all the criminals. The current conviction rate of the rioters is 65% according to the news, when it's normally 10% for the type of crimes they've committed. Some of the rioters are as young as 12. Still, I agree with the Prime Minister, "if you're old enough to do the crime you're old enough to do the time". That's actually the first time i've ever agreed with him. The UK is far too soft on criminals.

I'm glad the mattress is OK. I hate to see this going on. I suppose we're next.

The intro is just awesome

Talking about the riots, a friend from the UK told me that the only kind of shop that wasn't looted/destroyed in downtown London, were bookstores!!! I guess that this happened not due to respect for the books but probably because most people don't like them or even recognize how expensive books can be.

Also, in a few days I am moving to Madrid, so I will give you first-hand details of the Spanish protests and the "Indignados"...

Lol yeah, I heard about that. Apparently Waterstones (A national bookstore chain here) was left completely untouched but the electronics stores around it were picked clean.

There was an article in my local paper today about how several local businesses, including the city's only remaining record shop (As in Vinyl and CD's) are at risk now. Apparently the big Sony warehouse that was burned down contained months worth of stock for these businesses. They're at risk of closing down if they can't find alternative stock suppliers. So there could be even more casualties from the riots.

After all the riots people just wake up and realize they hurt themselves the most.

Ken, I'm excited about your work. I think we all appreciate the extraordinary effort.

Damn right I am Capt Bashir!

Here is work in progress, Romulan Intro., on the small screen. There is still about nine to ten seconds of video to go.

It's...its... AWESOME Kenneth! I got shivers all over me!
It is you! It's your golden signature! Hat up high in the air! Wooohooo!

You are really talented at this. I love it. Great music too. I also noticed a Klingon intro that I am not sure I saw the final product. Also fabulous !

They will have trouble deciding if they want you to act in the next movie or do special effects.

Do you think the Tal'Shiar lady is too cartoon? I will not be able to get it up to an Avatar level of reality. It might be better without her or not?

She didn't strike me as TOO cartoon. She's kinda cute though...

I don't think that she's too cartoonish and I agree with Cap. Bashir that she's kinda cute

Also, the trick with the eyes is nice, but on the other hand it gives her a Goa'uld look

By the way, can you make a transporter effect?

Yeah, that would be nice.
Me neither, it hadn't flashed in my mind that she was cartoonish. And, like the others, I find her cute . She has that special look...

I am sure I can. Do you have a specific race and or situation in mind where I could use that in the intro videos?

I just thought it would look cool to have the transporter effect in the intro for some race

Also, it would be cool to have a wormhole open/close sequence at some point. Obviously not all of the effects should be in the same video, but they could be spread over the races. Perhaps there could be one cool effect per race, especially something associated with it eg Romulans and cloacking (as in the video you already made). For example one could have a Federation away team beaming out, the DS9 wormhole opening & closing or something like that.

I am sure that all this would involve lots and lots of work though

Good idea, I can use the wormhole thing with the Dominion at least.

Perfect: Federation beaming, Dominion and the wormhole, Romulan cloaking, Klingons disruptoring, Cardassians... ?

Cardassians being assians.

Best laugh I've had in a while. Why didn't I think of that? (Assians)

Is that a new race already?
