[thelittlemind]

carriers are OP :D

[alphadios2003]

but of course i think that would be too much for your experience level at that time.

[freespace87]

@alphadios2003 The lore can be interpreted in multiple ways, since it was never clearly detailed how the purging of the Zerg took place. I don't think there could be hundreds of Super Carriers in Tassadar's fleet, since they are meant to be extremely rare hero ships. From a cinematic/artistic point of view, it wouldn't look good to have hundreds of beams in the frame, it might become excessively busy/overloaded for the viewer.

[alphadios2003]

@freespace87 ok iti inteleg opinia fata de lore-ul din starcraft. si sincer sa fiu nu prea am mai intalnit pe vreun roman cu asemenea cunostinte despre lore. nu tia venit vreodata ideea creerii unui site romanesc de sc lore. doar lore nimic despre gameplay

[freespace87]

@alphadios2003 Sunt fan StarCraft datorita lore-ului. Am citit toate cartile (inafara de Nova, care nu m-a atras deloc). Cat despre site romanesc de SC lore, pt asta este sclegacy.com; Eu nu as avea timpul si dispozitia sa cresc un site :)

[katsumorymoto]

@freespace87 also, what if protoss have weird vodoo means of killing foes? for instance, they kill a few mutas with an overpowered ship and maybe that causes distant mutas half way across the galaxy to all go nuclear and explode.

you'd have to suspect these different races represent incomparable religious elements of linear and non-linear variables of the time-space continuum being manipulated.

hell, i bet alex collier and gene roddenberry were big influences for this game.

[alphadios2003]

well lets rate this: at first you showed us how powerfull its gantrithor by destroyng 3 confederate battlecruisers. this was a great scene but after this scene you passed to a very simple attack like only 4 beams trying to scrape the surface of the planet to release the hot magma. well in starcraft 1 it says it was a massive bombardament. this would be like hundreds of Super Carriers launching their beams at a planet whose atmosphere is burning like hell.

[Azured665]

Not being rude or anyting. But i'd think 3 Battlecruisers can take on 1 carrier...Jus sayin

[freespace87]

@Azured665 You're absolutely right. But this Carrier is the Gantrithor, the flagship of Executor Tassadar. And that changes the balance.

[2000gmod]

THIS IS NOT YOUR VIDEO



[freespace87]

@2000gmod I appreciate your vigilance, but this is my video. I created this originally in Summer 2009, and it now has a sequel released in October 2011 (also on my channel and on SCLegacy channel).

[2000gmod]

@freespace87 oh sorry

[TheSilvernuke]

1:20 Oh, so screwed

[lilbigwill8]

other than the unbalance of 1 carrier taking out 3 cruisers (even if it is the Gantrithor) I loved seeing an arbitor again. He was my favorite in SC1

[CheaterGuy1998]

And that's how Char was made...

[gotriceandshrimp]

I'd imagine James Carters voice in Rush Hour 2 whenever I see the Arbiter; "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THIS MAN ROLLS LIKE THIS?!?!"

[legolas1088]

Fuck no! 0:56 Yamato cock blocking ...

[schwarzerXpfeil]

what softwares did u use? ^^

and who modelled/animated all this?

[DTZerAtai]

Illl do it for Auyr......

[marco2773]

amazing work dude...hats off to u.

Blizzard should make a full movie with u in it.

Nice work & Good Luck!

[IsArtanisAzn]

if this was the UED then Tassadar would have died early in the game

[consortium32]

I CAN'T STOP WATCHING THIS AWESOME VIDEO!!!

[AlizarineSilvermoon]

How on Korhal did you get to make Tassadar's voice sound so authentic? Awesome!

[freespace87]

@AlizarineSilvermoon all thanks to the efforts of Phillip Sacramento, his voice actor for First Contact. :)

[AlizarineSilvermoon]

@freespace87 Amazing, man. He nailed the character really right! I actually saw this after Final Metamorphosis, and I'm really awed by your work. Hope to see more in the future! Good luck and Adun Toridas! :)

[GeneralGravousKorr]

I LOVE TASSADAR!!! BUT HE DIE!T.T

[Ranakastrasz]

@GeneralGravousKorr Spoiler-alert. No he didn't

[hydrokat143]

if you don't work for Blizzard, I will kill a cat.

[mitxelus]

amazing, subscribed

[kerneyful]

sehr geil handla :D

[TheBIOPRINCE]

What happens after this is the intro cinematic of SC1 .... Good Job btw.

[ueffect]

Carrier can shoot like Void Ray? SORCERY

[arckana2004]

I LIKE !!!

[Lustigman1]

Adeptus Exterminatus !!!

[darksoul1381]

OH I see. I wondered how Tassadar was able to annihilate Duke's fleet with just a couple of interceptors!!!

[jamiej75]

reminds me a collector ship from me2

[m1a2onutube]

Stinkin' Vasudans... Oh, wait.

[guitarhamster102]

So why didn't Tassador just use the beam attack on the overmind instead of running into it?

[igrowweedfromaseed]

I wish i could warp in a 200 food army like that :(

[drigonizer]

Four things :)

First: Awesome animations man

Second thing: Never figured out that Char = Char Sara till I saw the video with Char Sara burning

Third thing: Gantrithor probably didn't have the beam attack in-game because they didn't have the means to program two attacks going at the same time

Fourth thing: Thus the reason Arbiters are OP :)

[lmvks]

If it's first contact why would they attack the protoss instead of negotiations?

[freespace87]

@lmvks Trespassing on Confederate space, non returning hailing frequencies. The Confederates had always been at war with some human faction (Kel Morians), so they do not tolerate trespassing.

[Kronimiciad]

@freespace87 (That and they're idiots.) Well, they USED to not tolerate tresspassing...

[thesketchydude118]

@lmvks the protoss initially burned char sara to dust so the terrans thought that was a random attack against them when in fact it was to destroy the zerg infestation typical misunderstanding :P

[lmvks]

@thesketchydude118 Sometimes war start because of the dumbest things xD

[theknightswhosayfrak]

@lmvks Because humans are prejudiced and Protoss ships are very scary and big.

[sivid13]

COOL!!

[Ranakastrasz]

Since when do carriers have Mounted Super lasers? I thought their only form of attack was Interceptors. On the other hand, This is equal in quality to Pretty much any of the sc2 cinematic videos, I am quite looking forward to the Release.

[freespace87]

@Ranakastrasz There are Supercarriers in the StarCraft story, they just never appeared ingame as playable units. The Gantrithor appeared ingame, but didn't have that beam attack for balance reasons I suppose.

[Ranakastrasz]

@freespace87 That explains my confusion.

[zetykitty]

@freespace87 Supercarriers? I always thought Supercarriers were 4 huge prisoner ships that were sent from Earth into deep space with the worst criminals onboard - criminals that then founded human colonies in the Koprulu sector. I dont remember ever reading about supercarriers in Protoss fleet. Doesnt change the fact that the video is awesome, though.:)

[MarioFanaticXV]

@Ranakastrasz You can see this in action in issue seven of Wild Storm's StarCraft comic (not to be confused with the the Tokyo Pop StarCraft comics).

[MrLTiger]

@Ranakastrasz yeah the gantrithor was supposed to have that attack you can see it in the opening cinematic of the original starcraft where a terran vessel gets obliterated by it

[ForTheSwarmTV]

This is epic man why don't you have more views on this video, it should be at least 100k!

[freespace87]

@ForTheSwarmTV Thanks, tell all your friends about me and then we can get the views closer to 100k. :)

[Arketemicus]

<3

[Kinimaaa]

[Kinimaaa]

hey you have to do a starcraft film

[freespace87]

@Kinimaaa I'm almost done with another StarCraft animation, that is much much longer than this one. Check the trailer on my channel.

[MrStarcraftPlayer]

Better than Blizzard.

[freespace87]

Thank you for the comments. Check out the final trailer to the new animation, StarCraft Final Metamorphosis, on my channel.

[1953Poppa]

What an amazing piece of animation. Bravo.

[maitrekenshin93]

holy shit thats insane!

[fmagistel]

lol those battlecruisers should've pwned that carrier, even if it was Ganthritor

[freespace87]

Thanks to the new subscribers! Tell all your friends and share :)

I am making more, a new cinematic is almost complete and will make this one look really bad and small. :P

I agree, Arbiters can be OP when used by Tassadar :P

[DemonImpact]

That was awesome... Make more please.

Also, arbiters are so OP lol.

[ODOMAN123]

[iLovveCakes]

[freespace87]

@iLovveCakes There was a version that had 750k, but that channel got closed. Spread the word to your friends because there is new stuff coming very soon. :D Let's get subscribers.

[Cr0wnedGaming]

[freespace87]

@Cr0wnedGaming Thank you! I have a feeling you will love my new animation in the StarCraft universe. It's almost complete.

[freespace87]

Share with your friends, and get ready for another big animation very soon. :D

[allydea]

[freespace87]

[TheSkratsky]

GO TRATCKTOR MAINIA BUT MOR GO FREESPACE!

[freespace87]

@TheSkratsky Tractor didn't have much to do with this project, but thank you.

[DreamingAboutDragons]

Comm Officer: General Duke, we are detecting an alien vessel above Chau-Sara!

Duke: Intercept it, now!

*aboard the lead BC*

Officer: Captain, our first shots failed to pierce the alien shielding. They are launching some sort of small fighters now.

Captain: Ignore them. Charge the Yamato gun and target the main vessel.

Officer: Loading nuclear charge... Polarizing pathway beams...

Captain: Prepare to die alien scuAARGH...

*static*

Duke: Send in the main fleet, it's still a single ship... RETREAT!

[freespace87]

@DreamingAboutDragons That is a great narration of what would happen in First Contact!

[DreamingAboutDragons]

On the previous SCLegacy upload I've made a comment from my old account (rapaicruma) about how the com-chatter must have looked like in the battle. I'll try to repeat it here as best as I can remember...

[loriol2]

impressive job ! Very nice !

[ixxupify]

hey like the Starcraft First Contact !

[alibaba1234a]

Wow why did you steal this from tractor media?.. and not even giving credit to them?.

[freespace87]

@alibaba1234a Because I created this while working at Tractor Media. That is no longer the case and this project was mine. Simple as that.

[freespace87]

Thank you :)

[dannyboy4314]

liked.

[IzeTheJukebox]

This is fantastic, great work!
