That video is sooo nice. I love what you did with camera movements and effects.
Also your work is inspiring. It inspired me to toy with LW myself. So I was playing with particle emitters and tried to recreate 'sair engine effects. I'm lazy to youtube it, so it's gif. Get me on skype if you care to exchange experience.
Holy **** awesome. I tried to animate this in the time when i was working on rendering those ships. My poor knowledge of 3ds max never got me anywhere near these videos though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qwpws5f97No
Is it easy(ier) to do in lightwave? Because the possibilities are endless if you can make your vids yourself.
2500 * 1875? Now that's a resolution. I'm wondering how much time the rendering took. And how much longer would it be if those ships had an engine light with volumetrics, and maybe a simple engine-effect without particles...
Imagining the render of 25-29 of those for a -second- of animation gives me the creeps. That's not for home users who use the same computer to Photoshop and to play FL and whatnot.

An expert once said to me that it's easier with the program you are more familiar with, so don't listen to others. The results they can produce is mostly the same.
My experience: Modeling in LW is a pain, but in animation it somehow was more comfortable.
I kinda know a way to make the gifs different to how the usually turn out. Instead of having that 'grainy' effect, the colours are blurred and mixed together... might want to try it.
I'll see if I can put together some examples.
