This is one of the best music videos ive seen done with blender.
It was great to watch, i especially liked the black hole scene.
5 stars from me.

Great work.

Wow, did you make that by yourself? You must have had some help. That was quite entertaining, I liked it. There were a few animation oddities at the start, some to do with rigging, some to do with inexperience, I think. But it really looked well done all the way through. I loved the 2001: a space odessy reference, too. Well done, I hope to see more from you!

Thanks guys. Made it by myself yes. My rigging skills are virtualy non existant, thats why the characters look epeleptic to some degree in some of the cuts

A great feature in 2.46 is Brecht's (at least I think it was Brecht) heat skinning. When you apply the armature to the mesh, click on "create from bone heat" instead of "create/don't create vertex groups". This gives a basic, but really effective for animation noobs (yours truly ) rigging straight off the bat. Give it a go, you'll be amazed at how much easier it is, and you may even be able to keep all of your animations with the new rig and see how it looks!

Damn thats good. I didnt know about that new feature.

And also, i think you should add that its not only for noobs, but lazy people as well.

Whoa, those effects were intense

I like the models, but again, the rigging and animation... wasn't so perfect But everything else was really cool. Nice stuff

AD-Edge: the entire video was in production for about two years, with periods of 3-4 monts where i didn't have time to work on it at all.So its realy hard to break it down how much time any of it took , but i spent quite some time trying to get the animations tweaked, and in the end it still looks jerky , should have gone back and done the ringging and stuf all over again i guess.
