ANIMATION DESCRIPTION:

A reminiscence of the old scifi series episode:
http://www.ericweisstein.com/fun/startrek/LetThatBeYourLastBattlefield.html

Meant to be the first minute of a very exciting TV show, complete with credits.  I was inspired by the Babylon 5 opening credits from season 3 IIRC.

Also a comment on current events. 

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED:

Without storyboards, to the depreciation of the final product, according to my wife.  Probably spent too much time on the credits part.

I know (as usual) it's not the most polished product but I wanted to share my past few months' development of my craft, and I actually had an idea about the sanity of looking for duels as the solution to problems.
