A Call From HQ

This scene sets the stage for the beginning of the episode, what live action shows call the teaser. This demonstrates why -- unlike many other 3D cartoon shows -- "Starship Troopers" puts the emphasis on character and not technology.

Some things to watch for in this clip:

* The one "not-quite-ready-for-primetime" element of the show is the lip movement. While lip sync is very good, the actual movement of the lips is still a bit awkward.

* The interaction of the characters when Higgins says, "But an order is an order, right sir?" No words, but the facial expressions on the characters faces was extremely well done.
