Special thanks to sharecg.com for hosting this great rocket model and tower!
Hi everyone:
I hope you are all doing fine and in good spirits!
Today I have this short animation using David Bowie's excellent and
timeless song_ Space Oddity. (what a great talented artist he was...may
he RIP among the stars above) This is a song that whenever I would hear
it on the radio, it would make me sad...knowing that Major Tom was left
stranded in outer space with no means to get back to Earth.
I took the liberty of making sure Major Tom gets a little help from an unlikely
source this time around. I had intentions of making it longer and having him
reach outer space but time constraints and other projects I want to work on
somehow got in the way. I'll settle for him blasting off into space!
I thank every single one of you who has viewed or made a comment on my
previous videos and renders. Its great to have your support and I appreciate it
very much!
Take care and have yourself a great weekend! :-)

amazing video, great work
WOW
Im really IMPRESS AWESOME VID
Superb!
awesome production, the rocket assess and flame effects as it takes off are amazing, an exceptional piece of work 5+
The fabulous, outstanding fascinating awesome movie raises more questions than giving answers.
Very touching movie. There is still hope you are a most wonderful human soul and not a lovely alien, you already know too much, which is quite obvious.. I assume your word should be fine with me. Either way, the movie is farther more beyond fabulous awesome. Your directing skills are most impressive, shooting, lighting, everything shows mastery.
A most Magnificent Masterpiece of Finest Arts. I love it!
as always your videos are so top notch and very creative in work and ideas Johnny. so much excitement in the action going on. that video blast off action is just jawdropping. 10++
Slick
WOW Fantastic outstanding work, I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!5*
Astronomically superbly fine video:-)))) Love this animation and choice of music! A most superbly fine work! Many many fine praises and accolades from me to you on this creation my friend!!!!!
This is amazing work. The waves are especially impressive.
The still image is superb but this video is...wow ! wow ! wow !...top notch...two questions : 1 - would the ET's help us or destroy us ? 2 - Do they take a dachshound dog with them ? The movements of the waves of the flying saucer are amazing...and whan the rocket takes off we remain speechless, mouth open...
Wow...... Just wow! You really blasted this into orbit in a big way, Johnny! Most impressive!
I am totally stunned ! This drips awesomeness frame by frame. I love it : )
Nice work, I need to get back to some animation myself. You are an inspiration!
Exemplary work! Must take hours! Well done!
Nice work
amazing, very impressive video!
Fantastic work!
Great Video!!! :-)
Wow, fantastic work!
in addition to the beautiful setting and the takeoff, you have a slow pan across the sea, in and around the launch pad, and a small jaunt into the walkways, etc. It moves slowly, so we feel we're viewing this from a very tranquil point of view. So when the takeoff happens, it's a big deal and even a surprise. Also, your water is moving, so it feels as if we're gliding across it. A very effective, meditative, drone-like study of the final moments of a rocket before and during takeoff. And the Bowie song gives it a timeless feel...beautifully done.
Sensational and beautifully done. I love the use of the 'UAP' and its interaction with our antiquated way of traveling into space. Very lovely. You are the real deal when it comes to talent.
Impressive........cool work
a video that makes you want to escape, nice creation
Great camera angles in this animation. Just wondering if the addition of some rocket sound effects would have added some drama to the scene. The choice of music is a perfect match though. Fine job!
Thank's for taking a look buddy! You are so right about adding the rocket sound effects to the short animation and I seriously considered it, but I would have had to do it while David Bowie was doing the countdown or near the very end of it. I wanted him to say lift off. I left it off because I thought the brute sound of a rocket blasting off would have over powered his voice a bit too much.
You have an excellent suggestion and next time I blast off a rocket, it will be with the pure fury and sound of the rocket engines! :-)
First visit for my return, no internet until last Friday. I need to rest after this cure which was very tiring. For the moment I can't work too long on the computer, but I'm coming to visit you to say hello. Thank you for this beautiful sharing, superb work, friendly Monique
