I spent all today improving on the animation for the native art video. It's looking a lot better :) it wasn't finished rendering though. 

Tomorrow I either want to figure out how to increase the resolution on the earth's surface or pan the camera out because the wide shot looks really nice. But I don't want to spend a lot more time on it.

I added a planet atmosphere, improved the fall out of the composite texture, and the moon surface. I also changed the background so the stars would have some movement. 

I also purchased a membership to an audio/video stock website where I got the thunder sounds.

I need to find the most recent carnival files. I have to start the storyboard for that.

Wow! Impressive.

This is great! Is the planet from a free 3d model directory or did you texture it yourself?

Looks good! Sounds like you want to move on from it, but if you're gonna tweak it at all, I'd suggest having the initial zoom-in land centered on the Galveston landmark icon instead of a nonconsequential part of the US and then panning down. And then you can just have it pan with the dots as they move across the water. I think the visuals already look really impressive. So I'd focus more on tightening up the camera movements with the story you're telling if possible. Looks good overall though!

I appreciate this feedback and please keep offering it. For this animation unfortunately I've done all I can do today and I didn't change the camera much because I'm struggling with curve animation. I think if I changed that I could introduce other issues. I guess it's to show she's coming from Toronto. I changed the timing a bit but it'll have the same issues. I'll show you when it's done rendering. I gotta wrap it up for today my back is mad.
