Star Wars Battle Chase

[starwarsguy0007]

cool thanks

[starwarsguy0007]

do you make this cool stuff with iclone 4?

[martok2112]

@starwarsguy0007 Not this particular sequence no. This was done using a combination of physical models and composited footage from the videogames Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike and Jedi Starfighter. If you watch the video again, check out the text commentary during the vid. I do plan on doing some iClone stuff with this, but my first iClone project will involve Battlestar Galactica. :)

Cool stuff

[martok2112]

Thanks, Stunnerx13. And this was all before I discovered iClone. :)

[soundmixer6393]

How did you get those models from the games? Could you explain it to me?

[martok2112]

Hi, Soundmixer. It's briefly explained in the annotations in the video...but, basically I videotaped the ships from Jedi Starfighter and Rebel Strike III. Then I took the shots of the blockade runner and star destroyer that came from those games and isolated them using Adobe Image Ready. Then I was able to create a greenscreen background for each, and they became chroma-keyable elements for the video. :)

[Soulsphere001]

That was pretty cool.

[martok2112]

Thank you, it was hella fun to make. :)

[Soulsphere001]

You're welcome.

Great video!

[martok2112]

Thank you so much. :)

[DoomboomLagoon]

I can only imagine how much time and effort it took to make that to that level 5/5 for sure.

[martok2112]

Many thanks for the 5/5 and the kind words. :) Yeah, this whole sequence from first shot to final mixdown took the entire night. I started in the later evening, and didn't get finished until about 8:00 the next morning. I need to get motivated to work on more stuff like this, because I've got some ideas... :)

[Alexodia]

Good video but i think the stardestroyers Pilot/navigator was a bit tipsy or ex Tie Fighter Pilot.

[martok2112]

LOL! Yeah....or he was on his cell phone. Oy...if Vader woulda caught him.... :D

[Alexodia]

=) Good vid none the less and it was probebly a Depressed and brooding Vader piloting. =P On his cell phone to EHarmony to find Padme's Replacement =P

[martok2112]

BWAAA HAA HAA!!!  :D

[Alexodia]

Blue Harvest. And look at him get off your Cell Phone your Drving.

[martok2112]

Ha ha...great stuff!

[SplinterCell37]

Hahahaha, awesome work :D

[martok2112]

Many thanks.  And btw, love the handle. Splinter Cell is one of my favorite games! :)

[darthy48]

good vid 5/5 thats what they shoulda did in the biggining of episode 4 A NEW HOPE then the rebels couldnt destroy the death star

[martok2112]

Many thanks, Darthy. And the high rating is most appreciated. :)

[chillyche]

looking forward to your bsg toon

[martok2112]

Many thanks. :) To give you an update, the starfighter stock animations are coming along very well. Admittedly, the animations for starfighters won't be as frame intensive as the test shot of the Big G was. Starfighters are faster, and don't need a fraction of the frames. The most arduous part of this process will be animating the characters themselves. I am endeavoring to get this done in under a year. Thanks again for the kind words Chillyche. :) Most appreciated.

[ScionCityScionicMan]

Rock on martok! Great job!

[martok2112]

Many thanks! More projects in the works as we speak! :)

[COASTGUARDCARROT]

wow, how did you do that with just models? good job, 5/5 for creativity and effects

[martok2112]

Most kind, COASTGUARDCARROT, thank you...especially for the 5/5 rating. :) I sent you a couple lengthy messages detailing how I did all this.

[fftkatarn]

Good Job!!

[martok2112]

Thank you. Hey, how are your projects coming along?

[fftkatarn]

Unfortunately my work is stopped temporarily, because of the school... I'm going to work on it again in summer!

[martok2112]

Well, good luck on it when you do get back to work on it. :)

[fftkatarn]

Thanks! You too! I'll keep you updated!

[RollerGalVal]

Good job on this, I can tell you spent a lot of time making it. :) (which is more than I can say for most of my videos LOLz)

You should make more of these! Maybe do a funny one next time!

[martok2112]

Thanks, RollerGalVal. I was actually thinking of doing something really big like Star Wars vs. Star Trek, or Star Trek vs Battlestar Galactica, or Battlestar Galactica old series vs. Battlestar Galactica new series. Or a battle royale. :D Something funny eh? Well, I do have some action figures I've yet to open and throw into the mix. Thanks for the kind words, Val. :)
