Today we celebrate the completion of the primary modelling of the "big 4" ships. It's taken about a year to get this far, because of the detail levels involved, but to celebrate, we decided to release the first teaser pic of the movie, as well as it becoming our unofficial movie poster! ^__^

SparkReality Productions proudly presents its first teaser for its first feature movie (btw, for those that are wondering, this is the project I kept referring to by it's codename "Freedom One"):






Company logo, first run!

Don't know all the details, but congratulations! Pic looks great.

It's great to hear when someone is working and making progress on long term project/dream.

It does rock! Unfortunately, to keep the story nice and secret, I can not and will not divulge story info.... BUT!!! With the way things are going, we might even have a small, 30 second teaser trailer coming in a few months

Oh, I wasn't hinting at asking details about the film! I just meant that I don't know the details what business you're in.

Good luck fitting that on a business card!

If you can eventually make a living doing what is fun for you, then that is fantastic.

Don't take this the wrong way, but those pics are straight out of 1996.

Like I've said to many others: We ain't ILM here We aren't expecting to break any new ground, animation wise. All we want to do is create a movie, and have fun doing so ^_^

Steve: I know it's around 1996... I mean, we're shooting to be about as good as Babylon 5 style renderings. We simply do not have the computing power (and, frankly, skill) to compete with the likes of Mainframe or Sheridan or Digimation or Pixar.

I know for a fact that I am damned proud that we have come this far already. Rick (the other dood in the company) and I have never taken a class on modelling, never been professionally taught how to animate.... everything is self taught
