Thanks for the compliments and for watching. It's crazy how much work is involved in creating scenes that are only a few seconds in length.
But it's all worth it in the end.
Like I mentioned, I'll be doing more refinements and putting some other scenes together, then adding effects... It's the rendering time that's the killer. A couple of those shots took two days to render.
Regarding the formation flying... There is a really cool tutorial on youtube that gives instructions on how to create that scene.

I used almost the same exact instructions to create that formation flying. The tutorial is for 3ds max and the guy talks really quick. So you'll probably end up pausing and rewinding a lot to take notes.
Once again, thanks for watching... There is more to come.
