Internet L5 Miniseries

[fireballs619]

Was browsing the web a few nights ago when I came across this- L5 Hard Science Fiction Miniseries. I didn't see a lot of the media, but from what I read it turn out to be really good, especially to the Orbiter type. It chronicles the return of Astronauts on a voyage, who find nothing left on Earth. What they do find is a huge cylinder in orbiter around earth, and they decide to dock with it. Sounds a bit like Rendezvous with Rama if you ask me, but hey, thats a good thing.

From what I hear, its going to be pretty realistic, which is a first for sci fi shows. I for one am excited :thumbup:.

An Update on L5

Hello all, I wanted to let you know that L5 is available on VODO for free download/torrent.
Wondering how we used the Orbiter MFDs?
Come see...

I watched the episode and can't wait for more. Keep up the good work!

The link doesn't seem to work for me...

Yeap seems very promissing, and has a pretty darn good sfx as for amatour production exept a little awkward characters animations. I hope they'll improve them in next episodes cause it's too noticeable and it breaks the immersion of the whole shot a bit.

Just watched it on the flat. Family members immediately recognized the MFD fonts: "Is that from that Orbiter thingy?" :lol:

Nice work, indeed. The movements of the spacesuits looked a bit funny, but other than that: top quality!

Is there a .wmv or .flv for those who can't use torrent programs?

Not for now I gues.
But what's so difficult in using torrent's clients? Just download one install it, hit the link and the rest will be automatic even with standard presets.

I can't due to account restrictions. If another way opens up, or even a dedicated youtube channel...you have support from me :thumbup:
