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.
