<br />
Thank you all for a very fun three months. This is the first CGChallenge we've entered, and it was a great learning experience. We're very proud of our finished product, and of everyone else's too.<br />
<br />
Our story developed from the idea that even though alien technology may be more advanced, sometimes a simple human approach is better. We wanted to illustrate this in a fun and slightly abstract way, so we opted for an everyday office setting instead of a spaceship or a distant planet. Our alien protagonist thinks he's pretty hot stuff with all his hi-tech alien gadgetry, but today he just might learn otherwise...<br />
<br />
We hope you enjoy watching!<br />

<br />
concept:<br />
As well as a movie trailer should catch your attention and make you want to see the whole movie, opening sequence of TV series should do the same. So I came up with this personal goal for the Uplift Universe Challenge.<br />
My entry is an opening of "Adventures Of Lifter Joe" - new TV series wannabe. These are unordinary space adventures of Joe, hardworking human, who drives heavy load machines for Universe Lifters Co. across the galaxy. There, in such a "cosmopolitan" space everything is possible...<br />
<br />
behind:<br />
Wow, this is my 5th finished challenge in a row, so I am kind of happy and proud. I pushed my boundaries hardly again, learned and tried many new things, tested my skills in very limited space influenced by my professional and personal life. I am happy with what I brought this time. Hope you will enjoy it as I do.<br />
<br />
thanks to:<br />
my lovely girlfriend Ludka, I love you and thank you for all your patience and care. My family, and all folks who supported me around this challenge.<br />

<br />
Here is the trailer in its final incarnation.<br />
This is the 3rd challenge I have entered, and it came with many obstacles and limitations that I definiately didnt forsee, and also marks my first attempt at greenscreen compositing, aswell as basic rigging and animation. I have learned so much from this challenge, and it has been fantastic to see the other entries evolve along with my own. <br />
<br />
Thanks so much to Chris Haige who took time out of his hectic schedule to score the trailer. He did an amazing job, and the trailer would not be the same without him!<br />
<br />
And finally, many thanks to CGTalk! We love you. :)<br />
