By pure coincidence I happened to have the Gattaca Opening Theme by Michael
Nyman playing when I watched this, and it makes really good background music
for it! Heh.

:) cool.
I don't really thnk it's practical to attempt a lengthy animation in just 3
months and with a file size of 10 meg, so I tried to come up with an idea
that didn't take too long to put across. It still remains to be seen if I've
succeeded, but at least it's gonna look pretty! :)

I have to confess the style was a bit of a fluke, the other segments of the
animation look more conventional than this. I'm going to try to do more
things in this style 'cause it looks very cool.

Very nice.
Now maybe you can explain how you got such _smooth_ animation in about
half a meg. I created 500 frames of a spaceship flyby, and got a 3 M
movie, and it speeds by so fast you can't see the details.

That's always been a problem with my movies.
Good luck in the contest.

i'm just guessing, but did you adjust the frame rate settings in your video
encoding software (not in POV itself)?

For the first time, I used _avi_ to create an .avi file (at 24 frames
per second), and then _avi2mpg_ and it (theoretically) should have kept
the frame rate.
(Previously, I used _cmpeg_ and I ignored frame rate; to be honest, I
don't remember if it had a parameter for it.)

I know the feeling.
So, I'll try to run through everything I do when creating an animation:
Firstly pick a frame rate. I use 25 frames per second, so I set up my pov scene
so that everything moves by 1/25th of a second on each frame. It's kinda obvious
but in your animation it looks like it's going way too fast.
Secondly, render it!
Then I use the freeware version of TMPGenc to encode it: http://www.tmpgenc.com/
When encoding it you need to check a -lot- of settings:
Make sure the dimensions of the animation match your frames (most encoders
will get this right).
Set the frame rate to the one you want.
Now choose the encoding settings...
I spent ages (well over 1 hour) trying out different compression settings, and
eventually settled on these ones. They're not great (the ship leaves a bit of a
trail against the sky), but it works okay. The setting I use is "Constant
Quality", with quality set to 50% and default settings for everything else.
I think that covers everything. If you're still having problems just ask :)

thats very cool. its funny someone mentioned the music they were listening
to. I was listening to Umbilical by mazzy star which is kind of droney/moody
and it wen't very well with the colors.
good work man. also, the mountains reminded me of cover art on Radiohead's
"Kid A"

Ooh yeah, I see what you mean. Definitely reminiscent of the stuff on Kid A.
Glad you like it :)

Well, I'm bloody impressed! ("Man, if I could create a single frame like
that...", etc etc) It never ceases to amaze me what's possible with
POV-Ray... All I ever make is variouse random geometric shapes..
Thanks.
Andrew.
