I was a little worried with this sequence and whether I’d be able to convincingly and clearly depict the action of a ship suddenly rotating along its axis to be perpendicular to its previous route of travel. But I think it came out well. I think it’s the subtle arcs of the bottom thrusters that really makes it work.

a smart and pragmatic enough person can weaponize anything.
