Global Hawk? loved it. The premise sounds right out of a Michael Bay Jerry Bruckheimer action movie, it worked great. I hope some day you can write a longer treatment. good job guys.

Here's how i would do it: since its a torrential downpour you cant use the drywall with holes in it, and since youre in the middle of the woods you can use sprinklers, instead, get a couple, pesticide/fertilizer sprayers (the kind with a tank) and do up close shots of each of the soldiers, that way ...

glad someone replied. i know theres a huge difference between doing and talking, and we'll see how it turns out, wont we? as for the 3d, im not using a lot of it, at all. we've got combustion3 for some disintegration/fire effects, otherwise im gonna stay away from it. any suggestions would be nice. ...

does any have a cheap/easy way to make sparking ricochet effects?
