Story: Both Star Wars and Star Craft are our favorite. We wish to achieve the similar effects and war scenes by ourselves. So we choose this story as our graduate project.
Protosses dominate the universe because of their noble bloodlines and advanced techniques. They need other races to help them exploit more energy, so they create the Terran. But Terrans are ambitious and greedy, they defy the orders from Protoss and refuse to supply energy to them. The peace in universe is breached. The Protosses decides to wipe out Terrans. When they are making the battle plan, a secret woman rushes into the meeting…

Hi，I am one student from Crystal Institute of Digital Education（http://www.tyou.com.cn/ ）. I am glad to show you our class’s short, Star Craft. It is about 5 mins and took us two months to finish. It seems like Mission Impossible, because we start from scratch, spending almost five months to learn Maya, mental ray and shake. Fortunately we overcame the difficulties and completed on time by ourselves.
I have to admit you will find some similarities between our short and Star Wars by Lucas Films. We had not enough time and pay more attention to techniques instead of original creativity. We wish you would not be too strict with us. Besides, we are newbies, so there have to be many shortcomings in this short. If you have any suggestions, please do not hesitate to tell us. We appreciate your ideas because they could help us improve ourselves. Thanks a lot.
