Long time I had the Babylon 5 Vree ships only as addition for my allied Fleet.
Then I just googled the Vree.
In the Babylon 5 universe, these "little green men" (in fact they were grey) were actually facing lawsuits for kidnapping people on earth in the 1970s ;D
By sheer coincidence I saw the restored directors cut of Close Encounters two week ago...
...and I made a decision... again... ;)
Mixing up, confusing, constructing disturbing connections where there are none ... exactly MY thing!
These are the more or less original Vree ships:

This is the Interior (Not confirmed! - Just my imagination!)
temp.0002.jpg
This is a Vree - I think some somebody has to give the starting signal for the fleet - right?

Particularly polite Vree of course bow after the performance:

...and of course the starting signal is a sequence of 5 tone and lights...

Great!!! ...and I hear the five tone sequence in my head now. ;)
I'm glad the Moog Modular made it in.... touch of class there. :)
Awesome work! I haven't seen Close Encounters in a few years. Sounds like something to sit down and watch.
Thanks :)
Yepp, Hannes... what a devil catchy tune ... ;D
crisb, the started scene came almost immediately into my brain when I saw the moog model. Don't know why my brain works this way ;D
Anyway I had some nice (Though successless) times with an old yamaha cs10 in the late 80s - in that time I was an ardent fan of Tomita, Vangelis, J.M.Jarre and Kitaro.
Jordan I hope you won't be disappointed. The film is quite old and I'd say on the niveau of 2001 Odyssey. Not everybodies taste... but I love it :)
The animation renders are almost all done.
If I was intelligent I would say I could start cutting the Allied Fleets starting scene from the space dock.
But unfortunately I am not... ;D
I heard these days that J. Michael Straczynski wants to reboot Babylon 5!
So I perhaps add another detail before starting... The Minbari.
I have only a raw idea for a 1-3 seconds scene of some Minbari rushing through the corridors inside the ships.
If anybody agrees, that the mood of this model fits my idea... I'll just do it.
