Clayster,

YOU DA MAN!! I can't believe how FAST you are at putting these episodes together! Your models continue to amaze me, and your ability to use HitFilm for all the cool special effects is also quite impressive!

I think it's funny that the Alien speaks an unknown language which requires subtitles, but all of his chalkboard plans are written in English. Also the messages on his evil devices are in English. I guess we can chalk that up to previously abducted and re-appropriated earth products? ;-)

I thought the shorter intro worked much better than the first version that was twice as long... and I also thought the video that goes with the THEME SONG'S lyrics is a better match.

I was half expecting some mention of Stanley Kubrick. As you may know, it is commonly believed that the moon landing was a hoax, and that Stanley Kubrick was commissioned to create all of the film footage that was shown to the world. One of the pieces of evidence that leads people to that conclusion is the presence of multiple shadows in some of the footage.. which would be impossible if the only light source was the sun... but on a hollywood set, there would certainly be multiple light sources.

Likewise for Muvizu. I noticed multiple shadows in your video and chuckled at the irony.

Your intro mentioned spelling: I'm willing to review your scripts for typos and spelling errors if you want.. or maybe it would be easier to run your scripts through a spell checker. Everything about your productions is top notch, and it would be a shame to let the occasional misspelling detract from it... especially when all that you do requires so much human skill, but spell checking can be automated.

in conclusion... Clay, if you have a list of fans, put my name at the top of the list! I hold you in very high esteem, and I wish you the best of everything! I think you are on a roll here, and I don't see anything stopping you from here on...

I was generally very impressed with the animation, and thought it was clever the way the theme song combines a C&W twang with that spacey Theramin wee-ooo sound.

But at the end, does Obama ask, "Want a presidential quickie?" Or maybe it's, "Want a presidential cookie?" In either case, I'm afraid I don't get the joke.

My first review spoke in generalities, but this time I want to specifically mention the things I liked about the story:

1) I really like the moon landscape and the standalone moon model. I don't know if you made them or if they came from user assets, but they are both perfect for your story!

2) Great job on the Alien's space suit... especially the clear helmet!

3) All the models were cool, specifically the rocket launcher & rocket/drone, the tracking device, the gizmo that Neal Armstrong kicked, the transporter, The ice crystal, and the satellite

4) The visual and sound effects that really jumped out at me were:
a) The NASA style radio voices
b) the sound effects throughout
c) the glow you are able to add to buttons
d) the communicator that the leader uses to keep in touch with GreyAlien (VERY cool!)

5) It's cool the way you dispense extra info to the audience throughout the story by using the chalkboards and the red information text.

6) nice (and humorous) touches include the peace symbol flashed by the Grey Alien when Neal spots him.... and the combined lined "Houston, we're not alone...(zap) ... now we are...." I chuckled at both of those scenes ;-)

7) also VERY impressed with all of the keyframe animation you use to create scenes that would otherwise be impossible with the predefined Muvizu actions. Your videos are rapidly becoming the model for what is possible with Muvizu!

Again, I want to say that your ability to create such cool models quickly, combined with your grasp on how to use Muvizu and HitFilm for effects... and do it all REALLY FAST... positions you to build an audience and keep them coming back, because your speed of production is such that the audience won't get bored.


edit: also VERY impressive was the White house model and interior, but I'm pretty sure that came from user assets. Still, it's perfect for your story, and it would be silly to recreate scenery that already exists.

It's cookie, not really much of a joke, I had writers block for that part, so I just through in there, anyways glad you liked it

Thanks, all of the models are made by me, the lunar lander was created by me and my brother so he gets some of the credit on that, and for the white house, it's really a backdrop with a picture, lol...didn't want to take too much time on making that.

Really good stuff Clayster! You're taking Muvizu to new heights (pun intended) with your work!

The President randomly offering the alien a cookie is cute, but if he'd randomly offered the alien a quickie that'd just be weird!

and for the white house, it's really a backdrop with a picture, lol...didn't want to take too much time on making that.
