"Tranquility Dome" is an animated web series about a detective on the moon.

Different, very different approach.

I'm a big fan of science fiction but I had a hard time finding anything enjoyable in this. I can forgive the previs style animation. Unfortunately, the story is a bit boring and the narrator's voice doesn't help. I give props for effort but I can't recommend based on the execution.

Genius, this is great stuff hope someone produces it!

Love the story but this looks like a pre-vis. It wouldn't take much to make this a really decent piece to look at. Very hard to watch...but great world and a very intriguing story. Would be very interested in seeing it acted which would free up the production designers to focus on the backgrounds and not worry about the character animation. You should just grab a couple of extra guys to help you out.
But who the fuck am I to say anything?
Peace.

I found the story quite compelling. Not drawn to science fiction, I was hooked from the start. Let's see how the young cuttie fits into next episode

Cool! I wonder if you could dim the texture maps a bit for the insides of the characters' mouths. Without radiosity, the teeth look like they're glowing.
