Your work is astounding and better than most big budget movies. Most people want the public to only see the successes and triumphs. You guys are real! Passionate and show how hard someone needs to work to get magic to spark. Im in awe of you guys and dont ever stop! Youre true film makers

    As a (former) SFX/VFX artist I would've done the warehouse shot completely in 3D. Quick to model and to give loads of detail in the front and animate the doors is trivial.
    The launch pad is something that makes miniatures (unless you have a Saturn V rocket detailed 3D model) very realistic and cool. I love prop making, especially painting so much more than 3D modelling.
