Researcher: Prologue / Sci-Fi Short Film

It's the first part of my sci-fi short film I've been working on since 2015. This is the beginning of an unexpected journey to the station on an inhabited planet which is supposed to become a colony. The main character receives a message of a serious anomaly on this planet and he needs to get there to find out what exactly happens.
For more than 4 years I created different ideas and concepts until I found the best technical way to bring my vision to life. The most difficult part of this project was the animation. It's the first time ever when I was animating a character. I'll try to improve what I've done in the next part of this short film.
This full CG project is split into three logical parts and I will be releasing each of them separately. The next two parts will reveal what is the source of this anomaly.

Direction, Design, CGI, Sound Editing: Vladislav Solovjov
Modelling: Evgeny Park (Klickstop), Vladislav Solovjov

Thank you, Vladislav and Evgeny. Cant wait to see the final movie. Get on with it! My pop corn is getting cold, and my scotch is getting warm. This looks like it is going to be a kick arse feature. Thanks, gents.

If you was a 60s/70s Sci-fi fan watching this CGI then, it would blow your mind. Great plane, i presume, made from stainless steel!?

[HansDunkelberg]

Wonderful! This has great power, it conjures up a unique futuristic atmosphere.
