I also wondered about the relative silence on BlenderGuru. Now I get it. It was well worth it. Impressive work.

Cite(vykelt): “More vids like this need to be made to show off what can really be done with Blender.”

Rephrase(myself): “More vids like this need to be made to shake and wake people up. And to show off what Blender is capable of.

Thumbs up.

Nice work.
I really like the feel of the renders- not photo real, but crisper than reality looks.

Perhaps you could do a write up of your render set-up- lighting, nodes, etc.

It is very atmospheric and, though it is abstract to the point of ineffability, it does make a point and, no pun intended, a strong impact.

The only changes I would have made would have been to reduce the flickering effect of the flares a bit and to have tweaked the flag materials to look less stiff.
