I'm a big Dream Theater and Rush fan, and this video was SUCH a fantastic surprise! I loved both the music and the accompanying video. Enjoy! I'm off to watch it again :)

Here after two years (on and off), is the finished video, this is a short tour of the solar system, accompanied by the track, "Sailing The Rings Of Saturn", from my soon to be released album "Hunter's Moon". It is also a history of how I learned to use Blender.
I had a lot of fun making this, and if you are interested, you can follow some of the process involved by visiting this thread on the the Blender Artist's Forums.
If you enjoyed this, then please press the like button, and maybe subscribe to my channel. Also if you enjoy the music (and at the end of the day it is a music video), please visit my website to find out more. Music is also available under the name Colin Masson on both i-tunes, and Amazon.
This video works best when played loud, and accompanied by a quality Czech or Polish lager.

This was a fun video to watch for sure! It made me think about games like Mass Effect and such. Very good stuff.
°Д° Mother of Gawd!
I enjoyed that on several levels there. The one-man progressive rock music, the space theme, the sci-fi theme, the imaginative theme, the Blender usage and a persistent learner. It took my imagination away. Very fun!
Great to see this, I would have posted earlier, but it is my birthday, and I have been out to see the second installment of the Hobbit. I will add a link to the finished artwork thread on the blender forum

Happy birthday Colin!
Great music! Great video!
I've reached the morning after the night before but this has certainly made my day
Happy birthday! And thanks for the music :)
Appearing on Blendernation certainly makes a good birthday present!
Glad to hear it ;)
Synopsis: Musician goes to Saturn, finds Babylon 5. I'm very impressed that Colin created both the music and the CGI himself...not many people with both of those skillsets I think. Excellent work!
Absolutely !
