We are not alone 2004-05-01 - By Dave Angelini

Roman,
Knowing that you are a connoisseur of fine lighting, that is high praise
indeed. Though, I must admit, I still have a long way to go to be gallery
worthy.
If you recall from my previous post, I am looking for a good slogan on a
roadside billboard that the UFO's pause to inspect at the end of the
animation.
I hate to tell you that my intent for the billboard slogan is: "trueSpace7 -
It's out of this World"
...not to put any pressure on you or anything. ;-)
Thanks,
Dave Angelini
