he is a world class unicycler

so ****ing awsome, and by the way, that kid actualy is a world class unicycler, the only problam with doing a chase sceen with a unicycler on a wet day (probably not the best move to film on a wet day) is that you cant do the most amazing tricks with a unicycle.. but it looks kinda cool anyway. and when it's wet it's hard to do some of the tricks. however i wanted to get that stuff to ben as soon as i could, so i desided to film on a wet day anyway. point is. I SHOULD HAVE MORE FOOTAGE SOON! AND THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP I OWE YOU ALL SO MUCH.

Okay, i'm learning about color correction and lighting and all that, so these will be better, i'm just setting them all up for when the textures come in. Theres is also no motion blur on this one, tell me what you guys think.

it's like getting high....but better...

editing a post... now i know. thanks user added image

ok i'm gona go jump out my window cas i'm kinda overwhelmed at how awsome these sceens are, the only thing i could say is maybe make the ship a little bigger. i'll try worrying about some shadow on ben himself at a later point. and the rest of the shots i'll try and put shadow on people, such as a big wood board etc. and soon there will be some shots where i will cut some tree branches. anyway bottom line is... LOOKS GREAT IN MY EYES! cant wait to see what those Maps will look like

ARIGHT!!!!!!!!! Pure you're smoke shader worked!! Looks like i'm going to need you're render farm help tho! This takes forever to render!! This was rendered at 300X200 something and Preview Anti aliasing, and still took an hour or so.

Whatcha guys think? Still WIP tho, hard to do tweaking with the render times.
