Was originally planned in 2000 to be a downloadable episodic series with characters built on Cinema 4D, Poser and Lightwave (3D design and animation applications), but production stopped when director Tony Luke was diagnosed with a form of lung cancer. Having survived cancer, Tony Luke was presented with a deal to make Dominator a feature movie for the Sci-Fi channel and because of its roots as a manga, it was wrongly classed as anime by them. With only limited time and an extremely strict deadline, only so much work was put into the movie, meaning that visuals were 'blown up' and so many things such as textures could not be reworked.
This is the first movie of its kind to be made on an Apple Mac with just a few simple 3D design and animation programs, and is also Britain's first-ever CGI movie.
This movie was made in Poser and Bryce 5.
