Here we have the final part of the launch sequence...
the large Ocean Door entrance opens and the Goliath transporter with the SEASTAR 5 moves out from the Airlock onto the launch pad...the main engines increase power....the six hundred foot long super submarine separates from its transporter and moves down the channel alongside the island into the open Ocean....its first patrol mission is go....
Well I hope your readers have enjoyed seeing these images...as an extra bonus three further images attached...
Behind the scenes in my Studio Two....
The STAR KEY Base / Main Hanger Model Set...its pretty big....six feet in length.....also the "Underwater Ocean Door set" included here ....
And a view of the "Omelek Island model set with Lavelle Marine lab model.......
All my underwater photography is done in the "dry"....no water....the simulation effects are done in camera with filters....a three filter pack on the lens at once is usually used when I take SEASTAR 5 underwater shots .
This launch sequence is also going out with the promotional video for the Comic.....as a full animation sequence....more on that in the coming months....
