A spherical space ship is launching 12 smaller crafts:

I made this to get into such animations more. The models I had made for 
some other scenes before, so nothing new there. I hope to make a bigger 
and more complex space animation soon.

New version. Arrival from hyperspace and launch of the daughter ships,

I wanted the ship to arrive as a ghostly, translucent shape but with the 
original ship model that rose rendering times too much. I will try that 
again with a simplified ship model that has less inner surfaces (the 
ship has currently unions instead of merges)

New version again. Arrival from hyperspace and launch of the daughter 
ships. Improved "hyperspace ghost" ship impression:

I like everything except that weird white frame flash.

Thanks. I'm fairly new to making videos, so I'm still trying and 
testing. Let's see if a blend from the ghost ship to the real ship works 
better.

It's coming along well - I might add some lights or contrasting textures/colors
to initially draw a bit more attention to the opening doors before the ships
leave - the first time watching it looked like it was just sitting there doing
nothing for a while.

Sets of lights that come on, change color, lighting inside the bays, or just a
difference between the doors and the main ship.

Alternatively, you could experiment with changing perspectives.
Keep your intro the same.
Shift to a closer view a single door.
Switch back, or zoom out to view the whole ship again.

Thanks, and yes, this is a problem.

I like this idea a lot. I've been thinking about it some time today, how 
and when to move the camera, when to switch back to the full view and 
how to integrate that with the files that I have. It will take a bit 
till I have time for a new version of the animation, but I sure will try 
your suggestion.

Thanks again :)
