Hi everyone,

My name is Erik Brewer and I am starting a new company which produces science fiction stock video footage.

Please visit my web site at http://www.StormCel.com

My first product line is StormCel Animation Sci-Fi Videos, Volume 1 which is a series of computer generated video clips of spaceships and spaceship interiors intended for use in movies. The clips are short and designed to be strung together to make a longer story (i.e. show clip of flyby as movie opens with narration of captains logs, cut to interior shot, etc.). An example movie using clips from Volume 1 is at:

I also have free samples in the download section of the web site for your use. From time to time, I will create new free clips to download. 

This is a new product line, and I would appreciate getting any feedback that you have (good and bad).

Thanks

Nice, I would like to see these Video Clips being incorporated in Video Games instead of Movies though.. Sorry to give you a bad feedback, but it doesn’t look life like or “real” in some instances to be clips for movies, one example: the white smoke on the red spaceship while under attack.

Anywho,
GoodLuck with the Product Line!
Keep the work in Progress~
Great prices by the way~

Thanks for your reply. As odd as it sounds, I like the bad feedback the best because it gives me an opportunity to find and make improvements.

I am already working on volume 2, and I am working on improving the realism of the videos as you suggest. Specifically, I am focusing on more realistic explosions, and improved lighting to improve the believability of the models. In response to your suggestion, I will develop and post a new, more realistic explosion sample in the (free) Downloads section of the website (should be done by this Sunday).

By the way, if you have any feedback on the website itself (layout, text, etc.), I would be interested in hearing it.

Again, thanks for the feedback and feel free to hit the website again.

Hello

I have posted a new video clip in the (free) Downloads section of StormCel.com. It is download number two and is an improved explosion effect. Feel free to download it and let know what you think.

Hello All.

I am announcing a second website called “Sci-Fi Video Clips”. I will use this website to focus on free video clips for download.
