You should share it.

It doesn't matter if your update looks horrible, your update is a valued part of the creation process and deserves every right to be proudly showcased out there for the world to see. At WIPUP, we believe that this in-between is just as important and breathtakingly awesome as the finished product iself - it's the hidden spectacular adventure behind the creation. Anything from a brainwave of an idea to a tiny nudge of a pixel - we want you to use WIPUP to suit your workflow.

It's now almost the end of June 09, and I have not touched Blender in ages. Aaaaagggeeeessss.

Blame it all on the other areas of life.

@NakedDrummer, @Nickster, @Topcat, @Len, @hessies: Thank you for all your comments...and yes I took some time off to update the thread's images.

Unfortunate to say but I have not been able to make much progress at all. I am currently at a standstill with this clip for the beginning of the movie.

I really don't know how to continue it. I am not happy at all with it other than the earth-zooming-out section (which I plan to add some small text overlayed above) and think it needs a redo.

Sorry for the rather crappy and anticlimatic update. My Blender work has really stalled and I don't know how to boost it up again.

Any tips?

Looking good so far. Sometims going back to the animatic is good place to start when something doesn't feel right.

I agree with you - the recurring problem I find with this project is that I rush too far ahead into the next stage. I texture when I should still be modeling, I animate when I should still be rigging, etc. I'm going to be creating an animatic to redo this entire section.
