I rewrote my own sci-fi novel — then turned the confession into a film. Three minutes of Conflict Space at full cinematic scale, scored and directed on the Terran Studio pipeline. Our biggest swing yet.
Captain Daniel Miller leads a recon squad into the cave system beneath Outpost 7. What they find inside isn’t hostile. It’s organized. The franchise opener — available on Amazon and Royal Road.

The prologue is locked. 137 stills rendered, score in production, voice cast bible in build. An animated adaptation of Book 1 told in AAA-cinematic CG.
Behind the scenes
The first Terran Studio music video. A song about funding the work with prison shifts, plasma donations, and 3 AM Uber routes — and the empire it builds.
Watch
Paden Hodges built Terran Studio out of Lubbock, Texas while working TDCJ prison shifts, donating plasma on rotation, and driving Uber at 3 AM to fund the gear. Conflict Space is the result of that grind — written nights and weekends, illustrated and animated on a single workstation, scored on borrowed time.
The studio's promise: every story it ships is built the same way — by someone with a day job, working the long way around.
