Excellent character animation; you built suspense very well.  Nice shot selection, clear action.  A little unclear as to what happens in the end....

The animation looks very realistic.

Great work!

From boomerkuwanger@aol.com:
This is AMAZING.  Every model is professional-quality.  Graphically, this animation seems perfect.  The "First Encounter" scenario is a little cliched, though, don't you think?

I will give 20 for Technical merit if you will use some hair/fury module
for the beast.

From PovRayGuy@aol.com:
Nice, suspenseful anim.  The alien's animations could use some work, though.  Some of the enviroments seem a bit flat as well.

Excellent, the eye movement , the breathing. The flashlight beam and lense flare were great. Good modeling. Awesome texture on the alien. Could have used a soundtrack but it's going to place first anyway.

Excellent work! The lighting is great, and the models and textures are fine work. I also find the motion and facial expressions top rate. I would like to see a finer mesh for the guard's hat and the paper since they are moving and attract the viewer's attention. Also, maybe some more little things like a oil drum outside or maybe that guard's got a cup of coffee to drink while he reads his paper. Overall, I think this is excellent work. This is definitely a piece that people can study and learn from.

Where do I start? How about "You win," or maybe "damn you're good." I love all of the animation, and I think it is marvellous. I did however notice that the alien things remind me of something from "stargate". I can't quite think what, because I haven't seen it for months, but that feeling is still there. Oh well, who cares, the animation is a pure work of art, something to be really proud of. I love it.
