Sorry it been a while since I posted but been busy planning the live action shots which should start shooting within the next month or two.
In reply to TheBlackHole, we are in no rush for the opening sequence as we expect the project to come togther over the next 1 to 2 years as it is a fairly large project. If you are still happy to create this sequence for us it would be great. I have looked into Celestia and it is still an option however I posted the idea here as I have always been very fond of Anim8or and wanted to include it in my works.
And Arik you are right you would think that. The statement about animations was not only for animations created by us but we were happy to host other people's animated movies on our site as a way to get their work viewed by as many people as possible. We currently have no plans for an animation made by us as we are only a hobby/amateur film making group but we have left all options open for the future.
Thanks everyone for posting and I hope to hear from you all again soon.
