A Tiberian Dawn MCV unpacks and sets up

Nightshadow does a bit of espionage
Released April 8, 2021
Greetings friends! Today I submit to you a remake of what is arguably the FMV cutscene which slingshotted my interest into aiming for the animation industry.
Obviously it needs more work, (ew pixelated terrain and a suspiciously HD rock side by side???) unfortunately I am but one man. Modelling and environmental set design was never my strong suit.
Nevertheless, I hope you all still enjoy it! Here's a link to the video: ( • Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn - Co... ) to compare this to the original classic FMV from C&C Tiberian Dawn.
