Hi,

I'm glad you liked it :).

I am going to make sure there are suitable sound effects for the intro.

OVC- Yes its going to be a single abject i think.

Now thats what I'm talking about. I knew we had something very cool to see coming up. Will the rest of her body pixelate away to transparent ones?
I love it.

just keep in mind that with all those frames being full screen, its guna make one hell of a file size.

OVC- I hadn't really though about the file size. Is there a way  I can make it smaller?

Thanks for the rest of your comments :)

yeh, you could make each 'moving bit' as a character, it would decrease it incredabally.  But if i wre you i wouldnt worry about changing that scene. just keep it in mind.

Looks fab, iwan!

The only thing that bugs me a little is that the saucer comes to quite an abrupt stop on the right of her head. Perhaps you could add a couple of frames where the saucer is slowing down a little?

Otherwise a very fun and exciting animation!

This has been on my mind to and I think i will change it so that the bottom of the ship slowly flyes obove her before the beam come down.

I dont understand what you mean by this (not because you havent explained properly, its just that I am not very good at this kind of thing).

I'll repost the animtion when I change it.

Oh and sorry for posting 2 of the same posts.

yeah, basically.... and then you would reduce the amount of pixels randomly until she was all gone...of course you dont have to. I do like the 'lightning'-like body snatching.

Thanks MrC

 :) That's pretty sweet, but perhaps a little idle animation wouldn't hurt (though it's not really neccecary) Just something simple like an ass scratch..

That's one hot mamma you got yourself there, Iwan!

I love how her head gets sucked off. Though I do agree that de-pixelating her body would be cool. And the U.F.O does come to a rather quick halt, without actually slowing down much.

Apart from these things (which I didn't even consider until others pointed them out) I think you've got yourself a very cool intro.

I think I will make it so that the pixels dissappear randomly. It will be like Star Treck :) Plus I think I will add a little idle animation before the U.F.O comes- thanks earlwood  for the point.
