Great work. I use C4D as much as possible but you've mastered a lot of things in there, Thinking Particles, Mocca, skies, environments, a gift for realism. Shit, I have so many questions.

Artistically it's a stunning piece, well done.
"Not being from the middle east or Islamic, I'm aware its an outside perspective - but hey, thats fine, isnt it?"
I was going to say that as well, that it's almost an orientalist view of Islam, middle east and Arabs. You say "that's fine, isn't it" because most of the viewers are going to be westerners?I'm not an arab but a muslim, and for me there's a clear distinction between being an arab and being a muslim.
Arabic culture extends far before Islam and it's such a deeply rooted culture that even Islam or the Prophet couldn't achieve to change it completely.
Some examples;
Arabs were militaristic but Islam promoted peace,
Arabs held tradition over everything, Islam supported change and progress,
inequality and classification of humans according to wealth and tribal connections was/is an Arab characteristic but Islam emphasizes equality and freedom.
This is a really long topic where I can assert basic proofs of it but basically Islam brought higher qualities to the middle-east for about a century and then slowly disintegrated against Arabic traditions.
Your piece rightfully reflects the view of how we see the middle-east today and appends Islam with Arabic kinesis by using the icon of Kaaba.
I just wanted to unfold this mythical view when I had the chance.Nevertheless it's a well done piece.
- Interesting. This reminds me of the way some Christians have given a bad name to the Christian philosophy.monoblanco
- this is a common case for all religions, they get deteriorated by humans throughout the time. tho it's still possible to find the core for the seeker.Beeswax

Very nicley done. It looks like a trailer for a video game though. Nothing wrong with that, just seemed slightly incongrous. *Waits for Arab Spring 2: Power Vacuum.

nice visuals.. cool colour story.. but as an arab myself.. [iraqi] i dont relate to the pyramids of egypt, nor do i relate egyptians as arabs..
i like the visuals but again i dont see the bullets representing me.. or my culture.. perhaps that is what media portrays us to be.. knowing my heritage is one of the oldest of humanity.. it was strange to see that representation with the past of the pyramids..
the vid was nice.. the message.. wasnt absorbed.. or wasnt understood.. the creation of 3D was fantastic.
but as an arab.. a lot of us.. arent what media puts us out to be. it is only those fanatics out there that ruin everyone's view.
