ANIMATION DESCRIPTION: 

GIANT ANTS!!!!!!!!

Well, not really.
The alien ship is supposed to be shaped sorta like what social insects would
build
(ie hornets' nest/bee hive). The purple stuff around it is my "artist's
rendition"
of a magnetic solar sail I read about in Scientific American. The ship lands on
the
beach in a crater and rocks back and forth in the water. The ant comes out
looking 
like it's one of those giant killer ants in B-rated sci-fi movies. Then a shoe 
squishes it.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS MADE:
foreach set_of_100_frames
        I typed in a .pov file
        I rendered it
        I debugged it
        I rendered a final 100 frames of it
I used cmpeg to put everything together

I don't need no steenking modeller.
