I made this as a sequel to my other image 'V: First Contact'. In this image, Archer has to face off against a wave of Skyfighters, while trying to destroy a mothership.
This is the first image of my own to use the Enterprise phase pistol effect, since the other test I did. I hope you like it!
The project in After Effects consists of 43 layers and 30 pre-comps.

Couple of things:
- Shadows. There are none. The sun shines slightly yellow, and there needs to be some window lights from the rim of the Mothership.
- Scale. The Mothership should be more distant, since it is over a mile long, and the other ships should be smaller in relation. The smaller craft could also be casting shadows on the Mothership.
