1st Animation with Blender and stock video

This took about 3 hours of learning the new version of blender that just came out with tutorials, and 3 minutes of the computer actually rendering, to produce 3 seconds of part of something that could be used for the UFOPedia.
I'm sure there's glitches that some might say makes it look unprofessional, but considering it's my first I'm still proud of it.
I grabbed the .blend file and the .jpg texture from the SVN, and combined it with part of the stock video of the sky I put up.
Now if I could get some more that are like these and combine them, it might begin to make a good roq for the UFOPedia.
Yes, I picked the Saracen fighter for this one.
Since it isn't complete, I didn't "roq it," it's an Xvid at a tiny 180kb. Attached to the post is a still-shot.

My first thought is, it's very very shiny for a plane modelled after the SR-71 Blackbird, which reflects very little light (which is how it should be 'cause lots of reflected light gives you away).

Destructavator:
Yeah, the first time I tried it I thought it looked a bit dark, almost all black, so I found the control for the light source and cranked it.
Oh well, at least I have some idea of how to do this, and like I said, I know it isn't world-class professional or anything, but I'm still proud of it as it is my first.
I guess it's a bit like writing a book or story, very few writers get their very first works published and making money. Then again, there are a few exceptions - You'd probably know more about this than I would, but wasn't Heinlein one of those exceptions? Someone told me that his very first novel was published at some point. Myself, I'm not an English major, I don't know much about writing. (And by the way, congrats on your own book, I see someone rated it well on Amazon.)
Songwriting is the same way, no one makes it big with their very first original tune. Then again, there are musicians who make it big and can't write an original tune. (But that's a whole other rant I won't dive into.)
Destructavator:
If anyone knows how I could add engine thrust or a glow of some kind to the back of the model, please let me know.
Mattn:
all i can tell you is that you have to do such an effect with the particle editor build into blender
